Thanks for sharing. Does alkaline water help ??
Alkaline water from natural sources are good. In fact, putting slices of lemon and cucumber in drinking water will do the trick. But , artificial alkaline water isn’t recommended as they may are not good enough.
Thank you so much for your kind response.
Thank you very much for the apt explanation. Yes, natural alkaline water is a great alternative to the artificial alkaline water which many people are preferring nowadays, not knowing that artificially alkaline water will reduce the natural mineral content (not all though).

Reducing the intake of candy and artificial sweeteners as much as we can is better …
Minimize also drinks like Pepsi, Coca-Cola and alcohol. If you like them , keep them in a limited quantity and from time to time only …
