After nearly six decades of bodybuilding experience, it is safe to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger has a firm grasp on the dos and don’ts concerning good health. The former bodybuilder-turned-actor is currently 75 years old and runs a daily newsletter to instruct his followers on the various ways to build a good physique, both internally and externally. In his recent one, Schwarzenegger targeted the ‘explosion’ of certain drinkables on the market shelves. A fad of drinking expensive water started rising among health-conscious people and Schwarzenegger tried to debunk it with better insights.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s newsletter named The Pump Daily is designed to help its users build a positive, healthy lifestyle. The recent one was divided into 3 sections—carbs intake before your workouts, acidity, and effective comeback once one slack on their fitness journey. The middle section deals with the supposed benefits of drinkables with high pH. Here’s Schwarzenegger’s take on it.

Arnold Schwarzenneger provide better insights into the alkaline water fad

Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote in the newsletter, “Do you need to pay a premium for water? It’s something you might have wondered if you’ve seen the explosion of “alkaline water” on grocery shelves. These pricey drinks (sometimes more than $6 per bottle) promise a “pH of 9.5” to help balance your body. Which leads to the simple question: what’s broken?” The idea that water with a high pH is better for the body has not only persisted but boomed with people following a more conscious diet.

Debunking the myth, Schwarzenegger further wrote, “A quick refresher: pH level can be acidic (0-6.9), neutral (7), or basic (7 and above, which are more alkaline). Like all liquids, your blood has a pH level. Some diet gurus suggest the Western diet is ruining the pH of your blood, making you more acidic, and causing diseases like cancer. It sounds scary, but — luckily — your body is built to withstand acidic foods in ways that the alkaline water producers won’t tell you”.
