All doctors and fitness instructors loudly and in unison say that you need to drink more water. In addition, it will be nice if daily drinking mineral water becomes a habit.
If the body does not have enough fluid, metabolic processes slow down and metabolic products are eliminated worse. And this leads to a variety of nightmares ranging from flaky skin to severe digestive problems.
.
Lack of fluid can even be the cause of edema - the cells “store” it
.
Therefore, general recommendations, especially relevant for those who want to deal with disordered eating, systematic overeating and excess weight, are as follows: drink 30 grams of water per day per kilogram of body weight (but no more than 2 liters)
.
There is a nuance: we are talking specifically about water (juices, teas, broths, etc. for the body it is not drink, but food)
. The only problem is choosing what exactly to drink, since along with toxins and other garbage, the legendary “2 liters a day” flushes out completely unnecessary minerals from the body. The logical solution is to drink mineral water, giving the body what it needs.
Salt to taste
Mineral water has the right to be called a liquid extracted from an officially registered underground source, with the original set of salts preserved. What kind of water is in the bottle should be written on the label
. Look for the words "sediment at 180 degrees", "total salinity" or "total salinity" - they all mean the same thing.
Depending on how many chemical elements and other substances can be dissolved in water, it is declared medicinal (10-15 g of salts per liter, drunk only as prescribed by a doctor). You should not overuse medicinal waters - this can lead to salt deposits and other rather unpleasant consequences. Medicinal table waters contain 1-10 g of salts per liter, are used for preventive purposes and are also not suitable for constant use.
Table mineral water contains no more than 1 gram of salts per liter; it can be drunk at any time. And it would be nice if half of those “daily 2 liters” were just such water. You also don’t have to be too fancy with your choice and focus on your own taste - just drink the mineral water that you find especially pleasant
. But if you intend to select a certain pool of mineral waters for constant use, for example, as part of a weight loss program or a maintenance course for any chronic disease, consultation with a specialist is necessary.
Mineral waters are classified according to the salts they contain:
- Bicarbonate ( "Arkhyz"
).
Recommended for people leading an active lifestyle, infants and patients with cystitis
. Harmful for gastritis. - Sulfatnaya ( “Essentuki No. 20”
).
Recommended for liver problems, has a mild laxative effect
. Contraindicated in children and adolescents, since sulfates can interfere with calcium absorption, which means bone formation. For the same reason, women over 50 who are at risk for osteoparosis should not drink it. - Chloride ( Essentuki No. 4, Aksu
).
Regulates the functioning of the intestines, bile ducts and liver
. Harmful for high blood pressure. - Magnesium ( "Narzan", "Erinskaya"
). Helps with constipation and stress, not recommended for people prone to stomach upsets. - Fluoride ( "Lazarevskaya", "Sochinskaya"
).
Recommended for pregnant women and people suffering from osteoporosis
. Contraindicated for those who have fluoridated tap water at home. - Zhelezistaya ( "Marcial", "Polyustrovskaya"
).
Indicated for iron deficiency anemia
. Contraindicated for peptic ulcers. - Kislaya ( "Shmakovskaya"
).
Recommended for low acidity of gastric juice
. Harmful for ulcers. - Sodium ( "Smirnovskaya", "Narzan"
). Helps with constipation and poor digestion, not recommended for hypertensive patients and those prescribed a low-salt diet. - Calcium ( "Smirnovskaya", "Slavyanovskaya"
).
Recommended for milk intolerance, pregnant women, children and adolescents. May reduce blood pressure
. It has no strict contraindications.
Most mineral waters contain a large range of salts and therefore belong to several classes at the same time. For example, “Smirnovskaya” is sodium-calcium, “Narzan” is sodium-magnesium, etc.
. By the way, there is no need to cook in a “mineral water”, even a dining room one - when boiling, the salts give sediment and can form compounds that are not absorbed by the body.
About the dangers of table salt
Table salt has no nutritional value, it does not contain vitamins or any useful substances, and it is practically not absorbed by the body.
The necessary tiny amount of this substance that a person requires is already contained in food products and the use of table salt in cooking is absolutely impractical. Excess table salt harms the circulatory system, heart, kidneys, and gall bladder. It promotes the leaching of calcium, dehydrates tissues, and also stimulates the nervous system.
With or without bubbles?
Mineral water can be carbonated or without gas. If for medical reasons you drink, for example, Essentuki 17, which can only be carbonated, you have no choice
.
If there are no such strict frameworks, decide for yourself - water “with bubbles” or without. First of all, the gas can be natural or artificially added
.
The second option seems dubious to gastroenterologists: “non-native” gas can interfere with the absorption of minerals in the water itself
.
In addition, there is an opinion that in general any carbonated liquid contributes to the appearance of cellulite
.
By the way, it happens that gas naturally disappears from natural carbonated water. And before bottling it is again, artificially, added to the water again
. Taking into account all of the above, I would like to stick to water without gas - sin gas or eau naturelle.
If you still choose “soda”, keep in mind: firstly, no more than 2 glasses a day (otherwise the main effect of use will be a bloated belly). Secondly, for chronic gastritis with high acidity and ulcers, mineral water is drunk quickly, almost in one gulp, and for normal and low acidity - slowly, in small sips.
Reasons for using salt in cooking
Despite the harm that table salt can cause, it has become an integral part of human life and has become an integral part of most culinary recipes. It has become a tradition. Its use is justified by the fact that the human body cannot exist without sodium chloride. But the quantities in which salt is used in cooking are dangerous to health!
Many peoples, for example, the Eskimos, never consumed table salt as a “seasoning”; they obtained the required amount from food. These peoples do not have health problems associated with a lack of salt.
Many gourmets claim that food without salt has no taste. However, if a person eats a lot of salt, he simply loses his natural taste. After several weeks of salt-free eating, the taste of food begins to feel different, like the original taste, not overwhelmed by excess salt.
There are many wonderful, tasty seasonings that pleasantly complement the taste of food, and table salt only destroys it, turning the taste of any food into the taste of salt. Naturally, a person who consumes salt cannot feel the true taste of food, so it seems impossible for him to eat unsalted food.
Complex issue
Real natural mineral water requires delicate handling from those who bottle it. Of course, the ideal option is to drink water directly from the source.
. But, since “Narzan” does not flow from every tap, let’s return to bottled mineral water.
Most liquids that are declared “mineral water” are born like this: first, water from an artesian well (well, if not from a water supply) undergoes deep purification. Such filtration not only removes all harmful impurities, but at the same time rids the water of everything useful that accidentally ended up in it. At the second stage, salts and other minerals are added to the water, bringing the chemical composition to any desired state
.
Of course, with this approach there may be more or less salts than we would like. And even if there is exactly as much “filling” as is needed, for example, for “Essentuki”, it will still not be a “living” environment, but just a solution of salts
. Of course, there is no need to expect a therapeutic effect from drinking such a liquid.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine what kind of water is standing in front of you on the supermarket shelf. You should focus on well-known manufacturers and famous sources, glass containers that better preserve the properties of water, and a fairly high price
. Another fairly safe option is local mineral water, which is simply not economically profitable to counterfeit. By the way, in the Moscow region there are quite enough decent sources - in Dorokhovo, Monino, Tishkovo, Zvenigorod, Arkhangelsk, Erin, Istra and so on.
What to read? What data to look for on the label
If we are talking about a complete (at least safe) product, the following information must be indicated on the label:
- Name of water
- Name and contacts of the manufacturer
- Chemical composition
- Degree and method of mineralization
- Source name
- Storage rules
- Best before date
From this article you will learn how to treat various diseases with alkaline mineral waters.
All mineral waters are divided:
- Bicarbonate or alkaline water, with a large amount of bicarbonates, has a soda taste.
- Chloride water, chlorine predominates, has a salty taste.
- Sulfide water, sulfur predominates, tastes bitter, with a characteristic sulfur smell (rotten eggs).
- Water, mixed type , its taste depends on the containing elements.
Alkaline mineral water is hydrocarbonate water from springs gushing out of the ground, containing sodium, magnesium, and an acidity above 7 pH. It helps the stomach and intestines work better, with the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and magnesium sulfate in water helps the brain function.
Mineral water - why is it mineral?
Of course, it’s understandable - such water contains various salts, microelements, as well as some biologically active components. Mineral water contains these substances in the form of ions, undissociated molecules, gases, and colloidal particles.
Real mineral water is extracted from aquifers protected from anthropogenic influence, preserving its natural chemical composition. This is water extracted or brought to the surface from the bowels of the earth. If such underground mineral water has increased mineralization of biologically active components, then it is considered therapeutic and prophylactic and can be used to treat certain diseases.
Water should not be considered mineral water with a therapeutic and prophylactic effect if it is mineral water mixed with drinking water or if various minerals in the form of salts have been added to ordinary drinking water.
Real mineral water should be clear or slightly yellowish to greenish in color and have a taste and smell characteristic of the minerals it contains.

Alkaline mineral water
It is better to heal with mineral water and drink it at the springs, but not everyone can come to the springs. For those people who want to be treated with this water at home, it is bottled
. To better preserve water, it is saturated with carbon dioxide.
Carbonated water retains all its beneficial properties, but it should not be drunk by people suffering from stomach ulcers and gastritis (high acidity), or you need to release the gas bubbles from the water and then drink it.
In nature there are mineral waters that contain carbon dioxide , which do not need to be carbonated . These are the waters of such resorts :
- Polyana Kvasova, Shayan (Transcarpathia, Ukraine)
- Borjomi (Georgia)
- Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk (Stavropol Territory)
- Kislovodsk
- Shmakovka (near Vladivostok)
- Shivanda (near Chita)
- Shivia (near Sretensk)
- Arshan (in Buryatia)
Water treatment: mineral waters
Salt of the earth: benefits of mineral waters
The beneficial properties of mineral water have been known since ancient times. Natural mineral waters, depending on the type, are used in the daily diet and in the treatment of biochemical and physiological disorders in the body.
mineral waters, hydrotherapy, disease prevention
Mineral waters are a unique product created by nature. Rainwater, seeping deep into the earth's crust and passing through layers of underground rocks, is purified and at the same time saturated with minerals. Depending on the composition of the water and the concentration of useful substances in it, mineral water can be used for various purposes - from treatment to simply quenching thirst.
Mineral water is most useful in the first months after bottling, and the maximum shelf life of mineral water in a bottle is 1 year. Mineral water should be stored in a cool place.

Alkaline mineral water
All alkaline mineralized waters are divided into:
- Canteens , salt capacity up to 3 g/l (everyone can drink)
- Medicinal table salts – 3-10 g/l, can be drunk for a short time
- Medicinal , salts 10-35 g/l, drink only if prescribed by a doctor
Note : Alkaline mineralized water is sometimes called “living” water.

Can a salt addict stop using salt?
How to persuade someone to get treatment
First of all, a drug addict needs to recognize the problem.
He must understand that he has an addiction that needs to be overcome. This is due to the fact that even if his relatives want to help him get cured, but he does not want this, the likelihood of recovery is very low, because compulsory treatment does not always have the necessary effectiveness and is only possible with the permission of the court. It is also important to consider that compulsory treatment is not anonymous, so this fact may affect the patient’s subsequent employment and life. Very few salt addicts voluntarily agree to therapy, so in order for him to approve of this idea, you need to use some techniques:
- intervention - that is, set strict conditions - either treatment, or no help in anything, refusal to contact the patient
- motivation is an effective and efficient way among psychiatrists
- a clear desire of relatives to cure a drug addict
- turning to law enforcement for help
- “trial” refusals to help patients, when relatives do not give him any help, so that he can feel what will happen if he does not stop using “salts”
You also need to select specialists and a hospital in advance where treatment will take place. It is possible to carry out therapeutic manipulations at home if clinics provide such a service.
Inpatient rehabilitation
Therapy in specialized clinics is the most effective and efficient way to eliminate addiction to “salt.”
The course lasts from six months, can reach two years. Main stages:
- detoxification therapy, when a narcotic substance is removed from the body
- rehabilitation, in which patients are restored to the skills they have lost, secondary diseases that arose while taking “salt” are treated, and the drug addict is gradually returned to normal life
- social adaptation with the aim of developing social behavior skills
Anonymous therapy in specialized clinics is expensive, so not every family is able to pay for the entire course of treatment. In the absence of financial resources, it is necessary to contact narcologists at public clinics so that detoxification can be carried out on their basis, and then patients are recommended to take part in the “12 steps” program, which is universal for the treatment of all types of addiction.
What are the chances of a full recovery?
Independent attempts to stop taking “salts” are characterized by low chances of returning to normal life and amount to 1-3%. And then, this is only possible with a very high motivation of the drug addict. Also in this case, there is a high risk of the patient’s relapse, since dependence on “salts” is the most severe in comparison with other types of drug addiction.
Even with a high-quality course of detoxification and rehabilitation, the chances of recovery do not exceed 50%. To increase them, you need to give the patient very high motivation, which is the basis of drug addiction treatment. And sports, art, or any scientific discipline that requires complete psychological involvement can become such a motivation.

Mineral water – composition of mineral water
Depending on the composition of the water and the salts dissolved in it, mineral water can be divided into the following groups.
Canteen, if mineralization (the amount of salts included in its composition) is less than 1 g per 1 liter and the content of biologically active components is below established standards. This water can be used daily without restrictions or harm to the health of everyone.
Medicinal table water contains mineralization from 1 to 10 g per 1 liter and an excess of biologically active components above established standards. This water can be used for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, and it can also be consumed by healthy people, but for a short time or irregularly.
Medicinal mineral water has a mineralization of more than 10 g per 1 liter and the concentration of biologically active components is greater than the established norm. This mineral water can be used both for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Medicinal water has a neutral or alkaline environment (pH-6.8-8.5)
. When it enters the stomach and then the intestines, water changes their own environment and activates the release of digestive enzymes.
Depending on the content of predominant salts in the water, the following groups of mineral waters are distinguished.
- Hydrocarbonate
- Sulfate
- Chloride
- Magnesium
- Ferrous
- Mixed
When buying mineral water in a store or pharmacy, always read the label and the composition of salts in the water so as not to harm your health.

If the technique is selected correctly, water will have a targeted effect on the relevant organs and the therapeutic effect will be maximum. You can drink water hot (for gastritis and ulcers with high acidity), cold (for a tonic effect on intestinal motility) and warm (to relieve spasms). Table mineral water quenches thirst better than ordinary drinking water. It evens out the water-salt balance of the body during large fluid losses.
The external use of mineral water for medicinal purposes is called “balneotherapy”. Treatments such as a mineral bath or mineral shower have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular and nervous systems of the body.

How to drink mineral water correctly
Of course, you need to drink mineral water without gases. However, not everyone likes this drink.
.
Mineral water without bubbles does not always taste pleasant
. However, for medicinal purposes they drink only non-carbonated mineral water.
If you are in good health, you can sometimes drink carbonated mineral water. Just don’t do this after eating, otherwise you will get a feeling of fullness in the stomach, belching and even heartburn.
Drink mineral water between meals. Carbonated mineral water can even deceive your appetite for a while. But this feature has a downside: if your stomach is really asking for food, and it’s time for a snack, then it’s better to have a snack
.
But if, after a good lunch, out of habit you want something sweet or a piece of sausage, then mineral water will not help you
. The desire to lose weight and be healthy, as well as the strong motivation to see the desired number on the scales, helps to combat such problems.
Therefore, you can deceive your appetite with the help of mineral water, for example, during the evening gluttony, but no later than 2 hours before bedtime. Or at a time when you just can’t eat normally, and your stomach is already growling from hunger.
To summarize, we can say that it is impossible to lose weight by drinking mineral water and not taking any other steps. Only proper nutrition and physical activity are the key to slimness.
And the last question: how much mineral water can you drink during the day? If you drink 1 liter of mineral water and the same amount of clean water a day, then this is already good. If there is twice as much ordinary water, then great. But don’t start drinking a lot right away if you previously drank no more than 1 glass of water per day.
. Accustom yourself to water gradually.
On store shelves there is not only carbonated mineral water, but also carbonated regular water. As you can imagine, these are different things, so read the labels to avoid confusion.
Health and beauty to you, dear readers!
