Water is a unique product necessary for human life; nothing can replace it. Even if a person regularly drinks juices, tea, eats liquid food, his body needs water. And it is far from all the same what it will be.
Tap water
It is simply dangerous to drink raw tap water, it contains too many impurities and chemical compounds harmful to the body. Of course, treatment facilities help to get rid of a number of harmful contaminants, but such treatment is very rough, and the quality of tap water leaves much to be desired.
If there is no choice, you can use tap water for drinking and cooking, but for this you need to at least boil it, and even better, subject it to additional purification: soften with alkali and remove heavy metals with a filter.
Artificial mineralized water
It cannot be considered an analogue of a mineral one. This is the same tap water, artificially saturated with minerals. But this is not the same as the process of natural, natural mineralization, which cannot be repeated in any laboratory. The natural structure of such water is disturbed as a result of treatment. This water is artificial, so there will be little benefit from it. Moreover, the regular use of water, devoid of natural impurities, artificially softened leads to metabolic disorders, diseases of the bone and cardiovascular systems, the body ages and wears out faster.
Water artificially saturated with oxygen can be hazardous to health if bromine ions are present in the feed water. Combining with oxygen, they form bromides - substances that are poisonous even in negligible amounts.
Water from natural sources
This is the optimal and highest quality drinking water for the human body. However, the source from which the water is taken must meet certain criteria:
It must necessarily be an underground source located in an area with a healthy ecology. Water absorbs pollution from the environment, so there will be no benefit from water taken from a source in an industrial area
A well or a source should be located in the immediate vicinity of the place where the water is bottled. It has been proven that the beneficial properties of natural water are quickly lost during transportation, even over short distances. Some accountants even believe that water is most useful for a person, the source of which is in his home area.
If natural water is purified, it should not violate its natural structure, be as gentle and gentle as possible.
Natural mineral water is water naturally saturated with salts and minerals. But not all natural mineral water is healthy or even drinkable. For example, if it is oversaturated with iron, its use can lead to liver damage, become a factor predisposing to the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Only a balanced composition of elements that saturate it makes the mineral water really healing.
Depending on the dominant ion, there are three main groups of mineral waters: chloride, sulfate and hydrocarbonate. By the type of the predominant cation, sodium, calcium and magnesium water are also distinguished.
Most mineral waters contain in homeopathic doses such elements as iron, molybdenum, cobalt, copper, bromine, manganese, zinc, boron. The presence of these components makes the water healing: it contributes to the regulation of the body's work and its recovery.
