About the benefits of mineral water
We use the phrase “mineral water” so often that we habitually designate it any bottled water with a branded label. However, this is not entirely true. Mineral water is primarily water from natural sources, which, when passing through certain layers of the earth's crust, is mineralized, i.e. "Saturated" with inorganic substances. The benefits of mineral water are largely determined by these substances, minerals, which, of course, in each source will be different. You can visit such sources by visiting, for example, the sanatoriums of Yalta. Accordingly, water from different sources will have different properties, and therefore there is no need to talk about the universal benefits of any mineral water for the treatment of a particular disease.
Moreover, in certain situations, mineral water can be harmful. A high level of mineralization means a high concentration of chemical salts, which can adversely affect health if it is abused or used for other purposes. In addition, the benefits of mineral water for one person will not necessarily be the same for another, which is why the same principle applies to medicinal mineral water as to medications: do not take without consulting a doctor.
It is for this reason that at every balneological resort, where there are mineral springs, it is imperative to recommend before drinking water, to talk to a doctor and, possibly, to undergo a medical examination.
The healing benefits of mineral water, if properly selected, can be enormous. Water is useful in itself, because we all remember that a person consists of 85% of it. Water from natural sources is even more useful, in recent years it is increasingly said that it has a special structure that helps the cells of the body recover. And the minerals contained in water take part in the metabolic process, maintaining it in the correct, desired state.
As for bottled water in stores, before you buy a bottle of mineral water, ask what is written on it. If this is medicinal mineral water, then it is advisable to drink it only for certain diseases, it is a medicine. Medicinal table water can be consumed as a regular drink, but in a limited way, it is not worth drinking it, for example, in the heat in large quantities. But table mineral water has a low degree of mineralization, it is suitable for everyone, and you can drink it like ordinary water. If you follow these simple rules, mineral water will bring nothing but benefits.
