The Benefits of Lemon Water

There is so little available bicarbonate in alkaline water or in these foods that you would actually have to eat tons of these foods to have any effect on your pH. The amount of antioxidants in lemon water are so infinitesimal that again, that's not where to get your antioxidants from. You'd be much better off taking that lemon that you were going to squeeze in the water and eating some of the peel, eat the pith, and having a bite of the lemon.
