I took a nutrition course given by a former top tennis pro. It was awesome. He recommended a reverse osmosis setup where you add alkalinity to the water. Celtic sea salt, lemon, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, active h2, etc,... not all at once necessarily but thats the protocol I eventually setup at my home.

What evidence was provided? Or was it just "I sported good, so do what I do."?

I'm guessing that lemon and vinegar are not effective at adding alkalinity, seeing as how they are acids...

I'm sure he meant total alkalinity, which is a measure of buffering ability (ability to resist changes to pH).
