One of my wife's associates gave her some "alkaline water" samples. My pH meter said that the water's pH was exactly 7.0. Not very alkaline....
Drinking water in Los Angeles used to be around pH 7.8 How is the health there compared to the rest of the country? Same?
I have a friend whom is in to this kind of product. Minerals need to come from a specific place in the ocean. When you then adjust the characteristics in a certain way you can mimic water from different locations.
Very hard to prove, in the UK the hard water area are the richest and many soft water areas are deprived. This affects both lifestyle and medical care quality
It's been posited that the hard water Okinawans drink is loaded with calcium and magnesium, amongst other trace minerals, infused from all the coral in the atolls.
Unlike the traditional Japanese diet, they eat mainly green and yellow vegetables, with small portions of rice, and tiny amounts of fish, while pork is highly prized.
I'm not aware of any studies comparing the effects of such a diet vs a high intake of coral calcium, but the benefits of coral calcium are said to include accelerated bone growth in broken limbs, reversal of a sudden aging (presumably accelerated), better sleep, etc.
Oh, and the average current lifespan there is 110 years.
Could be the water, and the diet.

I claim no ownership of facts, and am unaware of facts as geometric orientations.
Okinawa men have an average LEB of 79 years.
Compared to pre-war days, Okinawa men are fat, among the fattest in Japan.

The Google page I read did mention the men's life expectancy had dropped somewhat; it didn't mention a 30 year variance.
It didn't specify it's data as gender specific to men exclusively, perhaps the women live more than 140 years: )

It's exactly that, which Okinawa is notorious for in the healthcare environment, the tremendous drop in life expectancy over half a century.
Also shows that drinking Okinawa water doesn't make the slightest difference.
Better stay in CAN, drink beer and live a year longer.
In the new millennium, the motto is : live poorish and die old, or live rich and die young.
Pick your poison.

The yam brandy/liquor they produce is one of the most foul I have ever experienced.
Birthdays are good for you, the more you have- the longer you live.
Water is bad for you. Everything which drinks water dies.

Attending funerals is good for you, it means everyone else dies.
Alcohol is bad for you. Everything on alcohol is already dead.
