Also decreasing oxygen intake leads to respiratory acidosis. That is why prolonged mask wearing is very unhealthy. Children should never wear masks. They have lower oxygen reserves. Consider carbonated beverages poison and switch to alkaline water. One ounce of water per kilogram of body weight is necessary to eliminate chronic dehydration.
( Divide body wt by 2.2 to get kilograms) Be sure and check with your health provider. Some people must limit water for certain conditions.

absolutely. Give your body an alkaline environment. It will thank you for it.
