Benefits of Alkaline Water And Pregnancy [INFOGRAPHIC]

Side Effects of Pregnancy

Even though pregnancy should be a wonderful time in your life, unpleasant side effects often come along with it. Here are some of those side effects and how alkaline water may be able to help.

1. Indigestion and Heartburn

More than half of all pregnant women report symptoms of severe heartburn.

Heartburn may occur during pregnancy because of changing hormone levels. Also, an enlarged uterus can crowd your abdomen.

This means, your stomach gets pushed up, forcing stomach acid up and out into your esophagus.

Alkaline water can help alleviate heartburn and acid reflux by helping to buffer and neutralize some of those stomach acids.

Heartburn Definition: A painful sensation in the throat or chest caused by the reflux of stomach acid back into the esophageal tract.

2. Constipation

Increased levels of hormones, iron supplementation, and pressure on your rectum from your uterus can all cause constipation during pregnancy. Stool softeners and laxatives help move things along but being pregnant, you want to stick with the more natural options.

One of the best ways to relieve constipation naturally is to increase your fiber intake. Expectant mothers should eat more fruits and vegetables. They should also drink at least six to eight glasses of water per day.

Alkaline water is a natural remedy for constipation.

How can alkaline water help with digestion and constipation?

Tyent restructures the water to make smaller molecules. This way, it becomes easier to digest and absorb.

The more water you drink, the better your digestion will be.

3. Decreased Energy and Fatigue

Many pregnant women feel sluggish and tired from time to time, especially in the first and third trimesters. You can blame this fatigue on hormones and the extra work your body has to do to accommodate the new life forming inside of you.

Staying properly hydrated is important. It can help boost your energy levels and improve your immune system.

Since Tyent alkaline water is restructured for easier absorption, it will help hydrate and energize pregnant women naturally. This eases the fatigue pregnant mothers face in 9 months.

4. Morning Sickness

As you may already know, the term morning sickness is misleading because it can occur at any time of day. Again, those good old hormones can be partially to blame for your feelings of sickness.

Symptoms can range from nausea to vomiting several times a day.

Morning sickness usually dissipates around 12 weeks, but some women suffer from morning sickness throughout their whole pregnancy. Don’t worry, alkaline water may be able to help.

If you are trying to conceive, it’s a good idea to drink plenty of alkaline water as well. Sang Whang suggests, “Before a woman becomes pregnant, she should drink [an] ample amount of alkaline water to avoid morning sickness and have a healthy baby. Without enough alkaline minerals, the woman ages considerably during pregnancy and may experience all kinds of post-delivery problems.”

Too much acid can make the body too acidic, putting it at risk of sickness once the immune system is compromised. When you’re pregnant and acidic, you can become more prone to the side effects of pregnancy.

Counter that by keeping your alkaline minerals high and you’ll have a wonderful time watching your baby’s growth both inside and outside the womb.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, we wish you the best of luck. If you are already pregnant, congratulations!
