Let me guess. Someone (judging by the topics it might be a quack Naturopath or some such) has told you to eat "alkaline" foods. You've been led to think that somehow you need to do something about the pH in your blood.
It's all crap. Your body regulates its pH on its own. If you did manage to lower it you'd end up dead or in the hospital. Do not attempt to change your pH.

Linley water is a brand of bottled still or carbonated water. Plain water (still) is “expected” to have a pH of 7. However, usually water picks up carbon dioxide from the air to become acidic. On the other hand, if the water is not distilled, it may be from a source with calcium or other ions. In that case, it could be slightly basic.
The carbonated water will be acidic (with a pH less than 7). That’s why sodas have a tangy, slightly sour taste. If the lid is left off, the carbon dioxide dissipates into the air. The pH will increase and the soda will taste flat—not only from no bubbles, but also because the tangy (acidic) flavor is gone.
Lemon juice has a pH of about 2 to 3. That’s weaker than battery acid (sulfuric), but stronger than the acidity of an apple.
