High pH if possible lol. So weird how people focus on alkaline water. I promise, it doesn’t matter. I remember seeing an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow that she starts her day with alkaline water with some added…. Lemon juice 😂

Obviously a new face is gonna make the biggest difference

Agreed. Alkaline water ranges from absolutely useless to harmful if you somehow got the pH high enough. Your stomach acid would neutralize any alkaline properties of water instantly. If you want to actually reduce acidity levels in your stomach, calcium carbonate (Tums as a brand for instance) is much more effective.

Alkaline water works if u got acidity 😂 ! I add baking soda in water when i get acidity !

Meanwhile I'm old fashioned... if I'm on a health kick I'll eat a salad.

Previous generation living to be 90 powered by cigarettes and cheap brandy.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Because it totally matters what biiig pH difference I throw into my internal acid pool

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Your blood and other body fluids are supposed to have buffers that keep the PH in a very narrow range of acceptable values, so if you could influence your body PH with what you drink, it's time to go to the emergency room and get that severe metabolic disorder checked out immediately.

The only part of your body you could really influence the PH of is your stomach, and even then, assuming you don't have an acid disorder which could benefit from taking antacids, all you're doing is making your stomach work harder to restore its normal (very low) PH for no good reason.

make sure to ass some lemon juice!

[–] bug@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Is that like one of those butt chugs the kids used to do?

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Okay but seriously, working out in any capacity makes you feel so much better. Even if it's just a 10min walk per day.

I'm not so sure about the face, though. Sounds like a rather extreme transition

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I'm going to try the walk based on your advice, so really you should try my thing.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Well there is this one woman I would love to look like, but only with her voluntary, explicit and informed consent.

Gotta respect that.

No sugar? Cool, guess I'll die then

Cellular respiration from glucose is prohibited!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So... a new face every day? I mean, it sounds like the first one would be easy, but then it's going to get progressively more difficult each day...

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not if you use the first victim face to become them and then get his friends face and so on.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, it says to sew the face on... so day 3 you're wearing 2 faces, then 3...

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Ugh yeah that's more complicated yeah.
