Mineral water

Natural water comprising at Natural water comprising at least 1000 mg / dm dissolved least 1000 mg / dm dissolved solids in the form of ions. In solids in the form of ions. In addition, the dissolved gases addition, the dissolved gases may include natural (carbon may include natural (carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide). dioxide, hydrogen sulfide). Most often it is deep water Most often it is deep water

which acquired mineral salts which acquired mineral salts from dissolving minerals or from dissolving minerals or

Composition

Bicarbonate in waterBicarbonate in water

Water containing significant Water containing significant amounts of bicarbonates (above amounts of bicarbonates (above

600 mg / l) should not be drunk in 600 mg / l) should not be drunk in large quantities by people with large quantities by people with

hiperacidity, and water that hiperacidity, and water that contains more than 2000 mg / l - contains more than 2000 mg / l - should not be drunk by healthy should not be drunk by healthy

people too as it can disrupt their people too as it can disrupt their digestive processes.digestive processes.

Sulfates in waterSulfates in water

Sulfates proved to have positive Sulfates proved to have positive effect on human body, too when effect on human body, too when the water contain at least 250 the water contain at least 250

mg / l. They positively affect the mg / l. They positively affect the metabolism, increase the metabolism, increase the

secretion of bile. At levels above secretion of bile. At levels above 600 mg / l sulfates can sometimes 600 mg / l sulfates can sometimes

cause diarrhea.cause diarrhea.

Sodium in waterSodium in water

Sodium is a controversial Sodium is a controversial ingredient of any water. It is ingredient of any water. It is

found in many mineral waters in found in many mineral waters in amounts above the required amounts above the required

minimum - 200 mg / l. It prevents minimum - 200 mg / l. It prevents dehydration and maintains acid-dehydration and maintains acid-base balance. Its absence in the base balance. Its absence in the

body causes weakness and body causes weakness and digestive disorders. But the real digestive disorders. But the real problem is that we consume it in problem is that we consume it in excessive amounts. However, it excessive amounts. However, it

has nothing to do with water, but has nothing to do with water, but other food products where it other food products where it occurs in excessive amounts.occurs in excessive amounts.

Potassium in waterPotassium in water

We can forget about finding We can forget about finding this element in any mineral this element in any mineral

water. It is indeed very water. It is indeed very necessary for our body, necessary for our body, especially for the proper especially for the proper functioning of the heart. functioning of the heart.

However, no mineral water However, no mineral water does not provide a suitable does not provide a suitable

amount of this element.amount of this element.

Depending on the overall Depending on the overall mineral content in a liter mineral content in a liter of mineral water, we can of mineral water, we can distinguish the following distinguish the following types of mineral water:types of mineral water:

● Up to 500 mg / l - the low mineralized Up to 500 mg / l - the low mineralized waterwater

● From 500 to 1500 mg / l - average From 500 to 1500 mg / l - average mineralized watermineralized water

● Over 1500 mg / l - highly mineralized Over 1500 mg / l - highly mineralized waterwater
