What is healthy water? Do you know the water quality insider of these three types of water?

Research on heart disease and cancer has shown that healthy water has a certain hardness and contains an appropriate amount of TDS. Therefore, desalinated water, as an artificially softened water, does not contain calcium or magnesium and has low solubility in total solids, which is not conducive to health.

However, many people still drink desalinated water for their own reasons. Usually, they think, "I know I should drink hard water, but water is contaminated with chlorine, chemicals, and toxic metals, which is not safe at all. So, I bought a still or reverse osmosis device, which can remove all substances from the water, making it suitable for drinking." Does this sound familiar?

When we think this way, we only see a part of the thing, not the whole. We only emphasized the harmful components in water and did not understand the beneficial components. In order to drink healthy water, we must look at the problem from two aspects: we need to significantly reduce or eliminate harmful substances, but still retain beneficial minerals in the water. In most cases, a suitable filtration system or bottled mineral water can meet the requirements, while desalinated water cannot!

Supporters of drinking desalinated water claim that inorganic minerals (such as calcium, magne

sium, silica, etc.) in water cannot be metabolized, which can lead to health problems, but this is incorrect.

In fact, minerals in drinking water are easier and better absorbed by the human body than those in food! Dr. John Sorenson, an authority in mineral metabolism theory and a pharmaceutical chemist, pointed out that "minerals in drinking water can be well absorbed by the human body." He found that the metabolism of major metallic elements relative to major non-metallic elements is greatly affected by the total amount of major elements in water. If the required major elements are met, there is little or no absorption of non major elements, and they will be excreted.

For example, if drinking water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium but low levels of lead, the human body will choose the main elements (calcium and magnesium) and excrete the non main elements (lead); But if the calcium and magnesium content is also low, cells will choose non major element lead. This can lead to dysfunction of proteins or enzymes, and if this happens, proteins or enzymes may become toxic.
