alkalizing
Making less acidic
Alkalizing means making something more alkaline—raising its pH level.
The term appears most often in health and nutrition contexts, where proponents claim that alkalizing foods or water can balance the body's acidity: She drinks lemon water for its alkalizing effect.
In chemistry, alkalizing describes any process that increases alkalinity.
Also spelled alkalising in British English.
