After all that research, the best water to drink is the one you’ll actually drink. If you hate tap water, filter it. If you love the taste of spring water, buy it. If you’re into trends, go ahead and try alkaline—just don’t act surprised when your pee is still yellow.
What matters most is consistency. The human body is 60% water, and it doesn’t care if that water came from a mountain spring or a municipal pipe. It just wants to be topped off regularly, like a car that runs on H₂O.
So grab a glass (or a bottle, or a reusable jug with a motivational slogan), and drink up. Your body will thank you—even if it doesn’t care about the pH.
