Mineral water, is underground water, which has specific physical and chemical properties. Depending on this composition and properties, mineral water is used as an internal and external therapeutic agent. All people very often use mineral water. Nowadays, there are many of its types. However, not everyone knows how to choose mineral water useful for health.
Mineral water.
Mineral water is very complex in its chemical composition. It is a variety of combinations of the six most basic components: sodium, magnesium, calcium, sulfate, chlorine, bicarbonate. Thus, there are different: chloride, hydrocarbonate, sulfate and other mineral species.
Coal anhydride is a very important component of mineral water, as the healing properties of water are formed by the interaction of carbon dioxide with underground rocks. Carbon dioxide can soften the taste of the drink and contribute to a better quenching of thirst. Carbon dioxide is able to stabilize the chemical composition of mineral water, so that in order to keep all the useful properties in the water, before filling it is saturated with carbon dioxide.
In mineral water, in small amounts, it contains virtually the entire periodic table in ultra microcoses. The largest quantities in the water are: iodine, fluorine, iron, arsenic, bromine, molybdenum, lithium, manganese, copper and cobalt.
In addition to the chemical composition, mineral water differs in temperature. It is subthermal (from 20 to 37 degrees), cold (less than 20 degrees), hyperthermal (over 42 degrees), thermal (from 37 to 42 degrees).
And finally, in terms of the degree of concentration of mineral salts, it is divided into: medical, medical-dining room, dining room. Mineral salts in water do not exceed one gram per liter of water. Such mineral water is excellent for regular use, it has no clearly expressed taste and smell and is very pleasant to the taste, it is advised to use even for cooking. In the treatment-and-table water contains from 1 to 10 grams of salt. It is considered a universal drink, as it can be used as a table drink, and sometimes as a medicinal drink. It is forbidden to be subjected to thermal treatment, in order to avoid the loss of useful and necessary properties.
Benefit for health.
Each type of mineral water has its own healing properties. For example, bicarbonate water is very effective for normalizing the secretion of gastric juice and for treating urolithiasis. Chloride water can improve the work of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as stimulate the metabolism in the human body. It is recommended to use it for a problem with the digestive system.
Sulfate water favors the gallbladder and liver. It is very useful in diseases of the biliary tract, with chronic hepatitis, obesity and diabetes.
In many cases, mineral water has a fairly mixed structure, which in combination with biologically active substances greatly enhances its therapeutic effect. These include: iodine, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, fluorine.
How to choose water, and what kind of mineral water is better?
It is not difficult to choose mineral water. When buying water, there is a chance that you will get a counterfeit goods. In order to avoid such a misunderstanding, it is necessary to buy water from well-known reputable suppliers, in trusted stores (pharmacies). In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the appearance of the container and to the label, since in many cases it is easy to guess on the number of signs about falsification of this product. Good and quality mineral water, as a rule, contains a label with information about the manufacturer, its location, well rate, terms and conditions of storage, as well as the date and time of storage. Conscientious producers always indicate on the labels all the essentials that a person does not have doubts about the quality of the product.
