To confirm the effect of alkaline water drinking on the red blood cell density, the participants were divided into two groups, purified water (PW) drinking group (n=10) and alkaline water(AW) drinking group (n=10). Two uL of blood was collected before drinking water, and at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours after drinking 15mL/kg within 10 minutes. Blood was on the slide glass under light microscope, red blood cells were counted from taken by 400 times. Also, to confirm the effect of alkaline water drinking on the properties of urine, urine was collected before drinking water and when it feel nature calls after drinking. Urobilinogen, glucose, bilirubin, ketone body, gravity, RBC, protein, WBC, pH and MDA in urine were investigated. Purified water (pH 6.9, +372mV) was produced only by physical filtering using commercial purified filter. AW (pH 9.2, +203.8mV) was prepared by Mineral water ionizer (Blue QQTM, Eagle Eye America Inc., Korea). Red blood cell density was showed lower tendency in AW group than PW group until an hour after drinking, and especially lowest tendency in 30 minutes (p<0.05). But two hours later, it was showed tendency to back to normal. ROS was showed low tendency both AW and TW groups after drinking. AW group was lower than PW group. Urobilinogen, glucose, bilirubin, ketone body and protein were showed low tendency both AW and PW. But pH was showed rising trends both AW (p<0.001) and PW group (p<0.01). Alkaline water is absorbed faster to the blood compared to the tap water and have higher antioxidant effect than PW group.
