Why pH is important
pH is a measure of the acidity of a solution, which is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions present in it. The term pH stands for "potential of hydrogen". The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH less than 7 indicates acidity, while a pH greater than 8 indicates alkalinity. pH plays an important role in various fields such as chemistry, biology, agronomy, and medicine. In chemistry, pH is used to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution, which affects the chemical reactions that occur in it. In biology, pH is important for maintaining the pH balance of the body fluids, which is essential for the proper functioning of enzymes, proteins, and other biological molecules. In agronomy, pH is important for determining the soil acidity, which affects the growth and yield of crops. In medicine, pH is important for monitoring the acid-base balance of the blood, which is essential for maintaining the normal physiological functions of the body.

UNDERSTANDING ALKALINITY
Definition of alkalinity: "The buffering capacity of a water body; a measure of the ability of the water body to neutralize acids and bases and thus maintain a fairly stable pH level" Alkalinity plays a crucial role in our drinking water for several reasons: Buffering Capacity: Alkalinity acts as a buffer, helping to stabilize the pH of water. It prevents rapid fluctuations in acidity, which can be harmful to both humans and aquatic life. Health Considerations: Maintaining an appropriate pH level in drinking water is essential for our health. Extremely acidic water can taste unpleasant and may corrode pipes, while highly alkaline water can have a soapy taste. A naturally balanced alkalinity ensures a more balanced and palatable drinking experience.

How much water do I need per day?
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.
Optimal Hydration: Water with a pH level of 7.2 - 7.5 leverages the body's natural state is more effectively absorbed and utilized, leading to better hydration.
Mineral Content and Health: Water with a neutral pH often has a balanced mineral content, which is beneficial for health. It avoids the extremes of demineralized acidic water or heavily mineralized alkaline water.
Refreshing Taste, Exceptional Quality
Natural Water such as Earth's Brew
Natural water sources, such as springs and wells, contain minerals and trace elements that contribute to the overall taste and quality of the water. These minerals are vital for our health and well-being. A balanced approach to water quality ensures that we consume water that is both clean and supportive of our body's mineral requirements. What sets Earth's Brew water apart from the rest is its' unique sourcing from a deep earth aquifer. This underground water source has been naturally filtered through layers of limestone, the resulting water is naturally rich in minerals and free of non-beneficial impurities. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with a high-quality, all-natural product that is as close to perfection as possible.
Microplastics and the effect on Humans
Microplastics in bottled water are tiny plastic particles that can be ingested, and while research is ongoing, potential health risks are emerging. These particles may trigger chronic inflammation as the immune system perceives them as foreign invaders. Many also contain harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, affect fertility, and impact development. Additionally, studies suggest microplastics contribute to oxidative stress, leading to cell damage, accelerated aging, and an increased risk of disease. When drinking out of plastic bottles, there's a lot to worry about, but with Earth's Brew, you don't have to worry about a thing.
