General Questions
If you use mildly alkaline water — around pH 8.5 — to prepare food for children, the child’s stool will be a golden-yellow color, which also helps strengthen their natural defenses. In general, breastfed children tend to fall ill less often than those fed with infant formula. According to research from Japan, when a mother prepares her child’s food using alkaline water as an ingredient, or uses it to mix infant formula, the children stay healthy and build strong immunity — much like the benefits of breast milk.
Some say adults should drink about 2 liters of water a day, while others say you should drink 30 milliliters per kilogram of body weight. However, medicine doesn’t specify an exact amount of water you should drink each day. The main benefit of drinking water is to flush waste out of the body, so the amount you need depends on the individual. For example, if you exercise intensely or drink heavily, you may need to drink more water, because your body needs to eliminate more waste — especially for those with chronic illnesses, heavy drinkers, and smokers.
If your body tends to be too cold, drinking too much water can sometimes lead to stomach discomfort. And drinking boiled water may leave you with too few of the nutrients and minerals naturally found in water, which can cause health problems. Alkaline water, with its easily absorbed properties, won’t cause stomach discomfort — even if your body is cold or feeling fatigued. So for beginners, you should start by drinking alkaline water at a low level and at room temperature, then gradually increase the level and the amount you drink.
You can absolutely drink alkaline water. If you retain water easily but don’t have any underlying illness, this tendency may come from poor metabolism, poor nutrient absorption, poor circulation, or poor elimination. People like this often aren’t in the best physical condition, so they retain water easily — even from drinking just a single glass. Even so, drinking alkaline water allows your body to absorb water easily, which improves your circulation and elimination systems and won’t cause water retention — as long as you gradually drink small amounts throughout each day.
It depends on the medication. Alkaline water is absorbed quickly and may reduce a drug’s effectiveness, because its minerals can interact with the active components of the medicine. So when taking medication, you should not drink alkaline water — drink only water in purified mode instead.
For a pH that’s good for your health, your body’s internal pH should stay in the range of 7.35–7.45, which is mildly alkaline.
As for mildly acidic pH, it should fall between 4.5 and 5.8.
The reason for drinking alkaline water is that minerals are dissolved, or ionized, in the water. Our bodies contain substances that buffer acidity or alkalinity in order to keep the body’s acid–alkaline balance from becoming too extreme (for example, phosphates and carbonates). So even if you drink too much alkaline water, your body won’t become more alkaline than it needs to be.
A body that becomes too acidic — due to illnesses such as diabetes, kidney disease, age-related conditions, or various chronic illnesses — accumulates acidic waste within the body. If the body’s pH level drops below 6.7, it can be fatal.
Acidic and alkaline substances have a pH value between 1 and 14. Before you drink alkaline water, you should know which pH level is appropriate. In theory, alkaline water is at 1/100,000, while the acidic condition inside the stomach is at a pH level of 1/100 — in other words, stomach acid is more than 100 times more concentrated than alkaline water. In a single day, neutralizing 3 liters of stomach acid in the body would require 3,000 liters of alkaline water, which is 1,000 times more. So there’s no need to worry that the acidity in your stomach will be neutralized. Alkaline water contains minerals that are beneficial to the body.
For everyone who loves taking care of their health, wants real value from the water they drink, and is looking to restore their body and bring it back into proper balance.
Benefits Of Alkaline Water
The research concludes that if the level of acidity in the body is too high, it can cause serious diseases such as cancer and gout, as well as acid reflux — a common condition among working-age people. Alkaline water has a high negative charge that helps fight free radicals and slow aging. It contains calcium and magnesium, minerals that benefit the body, and it also helps restore balance and strengthen the body’s immunity.
Our bodies are affected in many ways by the food we eat. Some of it isn’t broken down and instead turns into toxins or free radicals (Antioxidant) that can cause disease in the body. This is because certain foods are acidic — such as canned fruit juice, meat, soft drinks, beer, coffee, and tobacco — causing the body to accumulate acid.
Research indicates that alkaline mineral water rich in bicarbonate and calcium can help reduce bone breakdown more effectively than acidic mineral water rich in calcium. However, researchers don’t expect that drinking alkaline water affects overall calcium levels, as there may not yet be evidence that it can nourish bones or help prevent osteoporosis.
Drinking alkaline water is one approach to managing acid reflux. Research has found that alkaline water at pH 8.8 stops the activity of an enzyme linked to acid reflux. It also helps reduce acidity in the stomach.
Scientists in Shanghai found that after drinking alkaline water for 3–6 months, people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids saw a reduction in these conditions. And in 2016, researchers found that among 100 adults, drinking high-pH electrolyte water after exercise helped reduce blood viscosity, which may help reduce stress and cardiovascular disease. That said, at present there may still not be very clear evidence to confirm that alkaline water benefits health, acts as a treatment for disease, or has properties that boost metabolism and prevent cancer.

How To Drink Alkaline Water
Even when you boil the water to cleanse the body, the value or effectiveness of the alkaline water won’t deteriorate. However, it’s better to avoid boiling alkaline water that you intend to drink. As for acidic water, it should be used in different ways depending on your skin type. If you have oily skin, you should use more concentrated acidic water — perhaps level 3 or higher. If you have healthy skin, you should use acidic water at level 1, or diluted to level 0, for cleansing your face.
If you boil alkaline water, its effectiveness deteriorates and the essential minerals become less effective. So you shouldn’t boil alkaline water for drinking — but you can use it for cooking and for making beverages such as tea and coffee.
Water helps with circulation and reduces appetite, which makes weight control more effective.
Alkaline Water helps improve blood circulation. If you have irregular periods or poor circulation, you should choose to drink plenty of water. If you have menstrual cramps, or light periods with a dark color, drinking alkaline water will help bring your period back to a normal flow with a better color. Alkaline water in particular has the potential to be absorbed quickly, which improves your internal blood circulation — so there’s no need to worry.
- Mineral-rich water helps create and maintain water with a hexagonal structure.
- It helps restore the body’s balance for those who eat overly acidic food, or whose bodies don’t have enough minerals.
- It helps the movement of water within the body and makes the water “living,” ready to nourish the body’s cells.
- It helps prevent diseases such as heart disease.
The water is separated, causing ions to move. There are hydrogen bubbles on the alkaline water side, and oxygen bubbles on the acidic water side. The hydrogen bubbles have a whitening effect and intensely kill germs in the stomach and abdomen.
If you’re going to store alkaline water, you should keep it at room temperature and finish drinking it within 1 week. If you keep it in the refrigerator, close the cap tightly and finish it within 3 days, so that the substances and minerals stay in good condition and the body can absorb and benefit from them.
An alkaline pH level of 8.5–9.0 is one the body can absorb easily. However, if you previously drank — or have always drunk — natural tap water or RO (reverse osmosis) water, your first time drinking alkaline water may bring a difference in mineral concentration, or minor side effects from changing the water you drink. In that case, you should start at level 1 (pH 7.0–8.0) for the first week, and after that you can adjust the alkaline level to pH 8.5–9.0.
This is a common sign that the body has adjusted. For example, someone with poor stomach conditions, after taking medicine, has their body adjusted for the better — which can sometimes cause diarrhea. The cause of a red rash after drinking alkaline water may occur because waste that has accumulated in the body for a long time has dissolved and been absorbed, and this waste then stimulates the skin to break out in a red rash. It can happen when the skin holds too much waste, or harbors various chronic conditions. As the body breaks down this waste, it causes only temporary itching, but eventually the body will expel this waste through urination. In cases of severe skin itching, you should lower your alkaline water level by one step, and spray acidic water onto the itchy area.
The main reasons for constipation are stress, not eating enough dietary fiber, overly restricting food, and poor food absorption. Alkaline water can help the functioning of the systems within the abdomen, and it also helps increase the number of microorganisms that help relieve constipation. However, if the body is still under stress, or if you eat large amounts of meat, this raises the chance of constipation and makes it harder to relieve completely. To improve constipation, you should drink about 4–5 liters of alkaline water a day, avoid stress, and adjust your eating habits appropriately.
Drinking alkaline water, which contains more of the minerals essential to the body than ordinary drinking water, may cause temporary constipation. So when this happens, you should reduce the amount of water you drink to an appropriate level at first.
That is the mineral calcium. You can clean it off with acidic water or vinegar.

1. KYK Highlights
The KYK model produces water across 9 pH levels, making it versatile and great value for money. It uses medical-grade materials and components, certified as a medical device by the FDA & KFDA, and is imported from Korea. It has won the most awards internationally — over 80 patents and 30 awards from around the world — with a beautiful design that looks like a piece of furniture in your home.
2. Nano Alkaline Highlights
Category — RO Alkaline Filtration System, Hot and Cold model:
Available in several designs to choose from, with a beautiful look like a piece of furniture in your home. Easy to install and easy to maintain, it delivers water that’s valuable for your body at an economical price — compare it to buying water every month, or buying ordinary mineral water. The hot water makes tea and coffee with excellent taste and aroma, and the cold water is refreshingly cool, letting you avoid using ice so children can drink cold water any time. It has a hot-water lock button, so if children come and press it to play, the hot water won’t flow — keeping them safe.
For homes that face salty or brackish tap water during high tides, or homes using groundwater but still wanting to drink alkaline or mineral water, we recommend this system. It delivers clean water free of any salty taste while still retaining minerals and providing a pH of 8.5. We are the only company in Thailand that imports this system.
3. Water Stocking System
Water is kept ready to use with an automatic water-level measuring system. When water is dispensed, the system automatically filters new water and stocks it, saving far more energy than using a kettle and refrigerator that have to be switched on and off. A typical kettle uses 1,500 watts, but our entire machine uses less than 600 watts — and you can also switch off any temperature setting you don’t need to use.
Maintenance is remarkably economical: changing the full filter set once a year costs 3,990 baht, which works out to just 1.3 baht per liter. Compared to buying mineral water or ordinary pH 8.5 bottled water, it’s extremely economical.
No need to carry your machine to the service center — we come to take care of you at your home (in provinces with a service center). Importantly, even if our products change their look or design in the future, the filter size stays the same. This gives customers peace of mind that the machine’s lifespan is well over 10 years, with no problem of discontinued filters that can no longer be replaced.
Some brands change their design every 5 years, leaving the burden on customers to buy a new machine because the filters for the old model have been discontinued.
Live Healthy brings real experience in the alkaline water filter industry, with consistent #1 sales in alkaline water, a wide range of models to choose from, and professional after-sales service.
Our alkaline water filters are carefully designed to look like a piece of furniture in your home — easy to use, full of benefits, all in a single machine.
