Everyone knows that a person is 80% water, which performs many vital functions in our body. To maintain health, we need to drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water every day, and not some, but with certain properties and qualities.

Tap water

Water from the tap in different regions and cities differs in chemical composition. In some places, there is a shortage of certain salts and trace elements, and in others - on the contrary, their surplus. The quality of drinking water in Russia is determined by sanitary norms and rules. Water is disinfected, as a rule, by chlorination, in some regions ultraviolet radiation is used for disinfection. Passing through the old water supply pipes, water can meet with various contaminants and contain impurities (rust, sand, metal salts). I recommend not to drink raw water from a tap, but rather to let it settle for at least 3 hours in a clean container. In this case, the residual chlorine will evaporate, and impurities will precipitate.

pros

• Affordable, cheap, there is in almost every home.
• The water entering the water supply is thoroughly cleaned.
• Water quality is under strict control and is constantly monitored.
• Tap water is always fresh.

Minuses

• Chlorine dissolved in water destroys the healthy intestinal microflora and causes dysbacteriosis.
• Chlorine can react with the substances in the water and form carcinogenic compounds leading to cancer.
• Water pollution from rust, heavy metal salts and other impurities is harmful to health. Rusty water can cause diseases of the kidneys, liver and gastrointestinal tract.

Boiled water

The quickest way to purify water is to boil it. When boiling chlorine is destroyed, impurities precipitate
  and salt, pathogenic bacteria and viruses are destroyed.

pros

• An affordable, free way to make water safer.
• Boiling disinfects water
• The water becomes softer, since most of the salt in the form of scale accumulates on the walls of the kettle.

Minuses

• With long-term boiling, oxygen is volatilized, and all useful trace elements contained in the water are destroyed.
• When boiling chlorine compounds can form carcinogens.
• It is impossible to remove heavy metal salts and nitrates by boiling. With prolonged boiling, the concentration of harmful substances increases.
• When boiling again, the water becomes “dead”, detrimental to health.

Filtered water

Tap water can be improved with a filter. Today you can pick up a household filter or water purifier for every taste. They come in the form of jugs, tap and flow nozzles. In order to maintain the quality of the water, it is necessary to change the filter cartridges in a timely manner.

pros

• A simple and reliable way to improve water quality.
• The filter purifies water from mechanical impurities (sand, clay, rust), the majority of harmful substances, chlorine, microorganisms.

Minuses

• A very expensive way to purify water.
• Filtration removes only certain substances, not a single household filter provides 100% water purification at home.
• Bacteria can multiply on the filter walls.
• When using carbon filters, small particles of coal get into the water, which when boiling form poison dioxin.
• More powerful filters remove useful minerals from water; it becomes similar to distilled in composition.

Bottled drinking water

Instead of tap water for drinking, many use water in plastic bottles. Today in the market there are over
  700 items of domestic drinking water. However, it can be different: extracted from natural sources or recruited from a tap and purified by a special technology, and then mineral salts are artificially added to it.

pros

• Clean, ready to drink water.
• Does not contain harmful substances, chlorine.

Minuses

• Expensive. Even if it is collected from the water supply, it will cost hundreds and thousands of times more expensive than tap water.
• Often the label contains inaccurate information about the origin, chemical composition and degree of water purification.
• Most bottled water is of artificial origin.
• It is difficult to determine the quality of water. There is no guarantee that it meets all the requirements of drinking water.
• If water is collected from underground sources, it may contain microbes. The proliferation of bacteria contribute to room temperature, a long shelf life of water in a plastic bottle.
• Too soft water can lead to diseases of the bone and cardiovascular systems.
• Ozonation of water, carried out in the process of purification, can be dangerous if bromine ions are present in the water, since this leads to toxic bromides.
• From the material of a plastic bottle, phthalates hazardous to health, bisphenol A, and antimon may be released into the water.
• There is an opinion refuted by manufacturers of bottled water that preservatives and antibiotics are added to it.

Natural mineral water

The most useful is natural mineral water. It is mined from sources that are in an ecologically clean place. The chemical composition of water is balanced by nature itself, the biologically active mineral and organic substances contained in it have a healing effect on the human body. Natural mineral waters are divided into table, medicinal and medicinal. The salt content in the table water should be less than 1 g per 1 liter, in the treatment room - 1-10 g / l, and in the treatment - 10-15 g / l.

pros

• Natural water, does not pass any processing.
• It is useful for the body, has a healing effect.
• The composition of mineral waters has various trace elements (copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, boron, bromine, etc.), which play an important role in the human body.

Minuses

• Drinking without limitation can only table mineral water. Therapeutic canteens can be consumed in moderation, and medicinal ones only by prescription. Uncontrolled intake of medicinal mineral water can be dangerous to health.

Spring water

This is artesian or well water, naturally coming to the surface. It is considered ideal for our body, in it all useful minerals are preserved unchanged. It is better to use water for half an hour after extraction, then the concentration of useful substances begins to decrease. It must be remembered that different springs have a different composition of water.

pros

• Clean, fresh water.
• Cleared by nature itself.

Minuses

• Truly pure spring water is rare, especially in cities.
• Often the water in the sources contains nitrates, phosphates, arsenic, mercury, salts of heavy metals, petroleum products hazardous to health.
• Bacteria can dwell in spring water, especially E. coli.

Distilled water

This water is completely purified not only from harmful substances, but also from useful ones. It is produced in special devices - distillers, by evaporation of ordinary water, then the steam is deposited and turned into pure water. Distilled water is used in medicine for the manufacture of drugs in scientific experiments. In everyday life, it is used for the operation of cooling and heating systems, automobiles. It is of no use to the human body. It can be artificially enriched with minerals, but it will be absorbed worse.

pros

• Completely purified water.
• Helps to remove toxins from the body.

Minuses

• Time consuming and costly method of obtaining.
• Bad water.
• It lacks important minerals.
• With prolonged use, distilled water washes away vital elements from the body.
• If you constantly drink it, then the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, caries will increase, metabolic processes will be disturbed, and bones will become more fragile.

Melt water

Freezing is used as a water purification method. It is believed that the most pure and healthy water is frozen the fastest, and only then there is a freezing of water with impurities of salts and harmful substances. Therefore, the water that is not frozen during the first hours is poured out, and the rest is defrosted and used as drinking water.

pros

• An economical way to purify water.
• It is cleared of harmful impurities, hardness salts, heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides.
• Saturated with mineral salts.
• Biologically active. It stimulates the metabolism in the body, contributes to a better removal of toxins and toxins.
• Regular consumption of melt water promotes healing and rejuvenation of the body.
• The structure of melt water is as close as possible to the structure of water in the body.

Minuses

• Long cooking process.
• The method is not suitable for water purification from microorganisms. It is necessary to use additional methods for water disinfection.

OTHER WATER TYPES

There are all sorts of methods for cleaning, disinfecting and improving water. To do this, use silver, shungite, quartz, silicon, coral calcium, prepare "live" and "dead" water.

pros

• Water can be independently made useful and healing.
• A wide field for experimentation and creativity.

Minuses

• Time consuming ways.
• It is difficult to control the quality of water produced.
• It is impossible to predict the effect of such water on the body. For example, regular use of water disinfected with silver can harm health. The ions of this heavy metal accumulate in the body and cause diseases of internal organs and dysbacteriosis.

Thus, knowing all the pros and cons, you can decide what kind of water is better for you to drink.

It is best to quench thirst and restores the water-salt balance in the body of ordinary clean drinking water.

The need of the human body in it averages from 1.5 to 2.5 liters per day.

Let's figure out how much and when to drink, so that the body replenishes the required amount of water.

Without fanaticism

The statement that it is necessary to drink as much as possible, not counting, is quite common. Say, water and the feeling of hunger dulls, and even fats (!) Washes away. However, we must not forget that the average daily need for water is 1.5 liters per day, and men, due to more intense perspiration of water, require more than women. In hot weather, the need for water increases at all.

Healthy human kidneys are able to pass almost 20 liters of water a day through themselves, but the stomach does not contain as much. In addition, if too much fluid enters the body, it gradually washes away mineral salts.

Especially dangerous is the lack of sodium, which maintains the pressure inside the cells. “Washed” sodium from the body can respond with convulsions and disorders of the heart. No less harmful excess fluid and those who suffer from diseases of the kidneys and blood vessels.

Listen to yourself

When calculating the daily volume of fluid intake is better to listen to your own body. If you want to drink - drink. But do not try to pour all the daily fluid intake at a time. After all, the feeling of thirst passes no earlier than 10 minutes after the first sip.

By the way, in the heat of heavy drinking causes increased sweating, and everything that is drunk at one stroke, pours out through the pores. Therefore, in order to get drunk guaranteed, it is worth drinking water in small portions in 10-20 minutes.

Also, regular drinking can serve as a preventive measure against overeating. Every time you want to eat "that, I do not know what," try to take a few sips of water. Perhaps you just wanted to drink and not eat. Over time, you will learn to distinguish between such different desires.

Water mounds

Beer, wine, vodka and cocktails in cans are also liquid, and even contain water. But as a means for quenching thirst is not suitable at all. In addition to their obvious harm to the body, all alcoholic beverages are strong diuretics. In a simple way - diuretics. It is thanks to this property of those who like to drink, that in the morning, not only the well-known “bodun”, but also “sushnyak”, lurks in the morning.

No less deceptive and liquid consistency of coffee and caffeine-containing energy drinks, which also perfectly relieve the body, not only from excess, but also the necessary moisture. Weight loss caffeine-containing teas help to lose weight due to dehydration.

Orange and grapefruit juices, some herbal and green teas, which are popular in the hot season, also have a diuretic effect. Therefore, be careful and carefully examine the information on the packaging.

Watery watermelon also helps to remove fluid from the body, and they can not get drunk.

Before and after

Do not recommend drinking water while eating, especially if it is cold. Liquid dilutes the gastric juice and can slow down the digestive process. It is better to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits that are not water, but they are also struggling with the feeling of thirst, too. And do not abuse too salty or spicy dishes - to extinguish the "fire" in the mouth will have to drink a lot of liquid.

The ideal time for fluid intake is half an hour before meals and two to three hours after it. And the head doctor of the Medical and Rehabilitation Center of the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development of Russia, Tatyana Shapovalenko, recommends starting the morning with a pair of glasses of clean water on an empty stomach.

Water is a unique inorganic substance that determines the possibility of life on earth. This is a universal solvent, the basis for the flow of biochemical processes. The uniqueness of water lies in the dissolution of both organic and inorganic substances.

Water accompanies a person from birth to death. Back in school, we were taught that the human body consists of about 70% water. Accordingly, without this natural resource, human life is impossible.

What water should you drink?

Water should be physiologically adequate for health, that is:

• have a natural origin from an underground source;
• do not contain artificial additives;
• do not undergo deep osmosis cleaning;
• be slightly mineralized (0.5-0.75 g / l).

Only drinking water of natural origin contains all the necessary macro-and micronutrients. It is the most valuable health drink for the body! On how to drink water in the morning, what temperature should be water, see the article

How useful and safe is drinking water in Russia?

Modern systems of cleaning and disinfection bring the water in our taps to safe values ​​in terms of microbiological and sanitary-chemical indicators. However, the deterioration of the water supply system leads to the fact that in the water there may be an excess of iron, chlorine and even organic substances and bacteria.

If water enters the water supply system from an underground source, this is a big plus. But the majority of large megacities receive water from above-ground sources - rivers, reservoirs and lakes. Yes, it gets into our taps after a multi-stage cleaning, but its quality indicators are far from the characteristics of artesian water.

Boiled or raw?

Raw water is preferable for the body because it contains trace elements in the form of salts. It has a peculiar structure of the location of water molecules. Often I call it living, and for good reason - only this water helps the cells to regenerate, prevents the formation of free radicals. But drinking raw (not purified) water is not recommended because of the risk of the presence of harmful bacteria and toxic compounds in it.

Boiled water is not only useless, but also harmful. “Dead Water” - some experts call it such a frightening phrase:

• when boiling, the useful salts precipitate into an insoluble precipitate;
• significantly reduced oxygen content;
• the chlorine contained in the water from the tap, when boiled, turns into toxic compounds, leading to urolithiasis and oncopathology (see);
• the structure of water changed as a result of boiling contributes to the fact that within a day this water becomes a favorable breeding ground for bacteria.

But the issue of water safety does not go anywhere - to ensure that raw water does not contain harmful microorganisms, it is impossible.

If, for safety reasons, you prefer boiled water, let the raw water stand for 2 hours, then boil and turn off the kettle at the very beginning of boiling: this water will be decontaminated, and most of the minerals will remain in accessible condition. Drink only fresh boiled water, do not allow its long-term storage and use.

What kind of raw water do you need and can drink?

Tap water

This is raw water purified at the water utility and brought up to the requirements of regulatory documents. Not the best option for health. If there is no other option, then it can be drunk after pre-treatment in one of the following ways:

• boiling with the obligatory observance of the above recommendations;
• filtering, which we will discuss below;
• settling for 2 hours and then using only the upper half of the liquid. But this method does not insure against germs and toxic substances.

Bottled water

This is raw water purified by industrial methods, but meeting all safety requirements. It is packaged both in large bottles and plastic bottles, which are sold in stores. It happens the first and highest category.

• The first one is artificially purified water (tap water, from a surface water body) using the deep cleaning method
• Higher - water from an artesian well, purified by gentle methods and ultraviolet disinfected.

How useful is it?  With proper cleaning, such water is really useful and safe, it does not need to be boiled before use. However, manufacturers often save on the stages of water purification, with the result that the product sold is far from what the label promises.

How to choose a bona fide manufacturer:

• The longer a company is on the market, the more reliable it is;
• Reputable manufacturer does not save on packaging;
• The popular rumor will always go about the good water;
• Advice for the most demanding customers - take the purchased water to a special laboratory and check its quality and safety.

Spring water

It is natural water that has been naturally cleaned through layers of soil. Each spring is unique. As a rule, such water not only does not contain harmful impurities, but is also enriched in the process of its passage through the soil with useful minerals. Of course, from the springs located near cities or their boundaries, there is little use. In Russia there are many springs protected by the state, the water of which deservedly falls into the highest category. These water bodies have official passports, and access to them is limited.

Spring water can also be seen in retail - the manufacturer packs it in the same way as bottled water. However, for the purpose of profit, some of them sell ordinary artesian water under the guise of spring water, and even tap water. In order not to be deceived, you should follow the recommendations regarding the choice of bottled water. Also on the bottle should be indicated a specific place of intake, i.e. spring.

If you independently take water from some spring - do not forget to do it in a clean container and periodically check the qualitative composition of the water in the laboratory.

Mineral water

This is natural water with a high content of trace elements and salts from the deep layers of the soil. Mineralization of water occurs when it passes through the rocks of the soil. According to salt content, mineral water is divided into:

• therapeutic (salinity\u003e 8 g ​​/ l);
• medical-dining room (mineralization 1-8 g / l);
• dining room (mineralization less than 1 g / l).

What mineral water is better to drink?

• Table mineral water.  Without risk to health, you can drink table water. Such water is especially good after prolonged exertion, in the period of recovery after poisoning, diarrhea, acute intestinal infection. But still you should not drink it all the time.
• Healing mineral water  can be prescribed only by a doctor in strict dosage and for a certain time period. She (like drugs) has both indications and a sufficient list of contraindications for use, it can not be used without a doctor's prescription.
• Medical table mineral water  also appointed by the doctor, but later the patient himself can conduct a course intake of this water.

By the way, only in a few countries do people drink mineral water instead of drinking water without restrictions, including Russia. Well, healthy children under the age of 12 should not be given even mineral water.

Filtered water - harm and good

Household filter for water purification can be found in every home. This is an economical way to get purified water from ordinary tap water. Filters are flow-through, which are embedded in the water supply system, and jug-type, i.e. mobile.

Since each filter has its own cleansing base, initially you should analyze the water from your tap in order to know what exactly the water needs to be purified from (excess chlorine, iron, sulfates, etc.). Filtered water is beneficial with the following points:

• a properly selected filter system for a specific problem;
• timely replacement of cartridges, and one should not wait for the resource declared by the manufacturer - it is better to reduce this time twice;
• periodic study of the water obtained after filtration.

Universal Filters

The benefits of such water  - They which completely clear tap water from impurities, incl. viruses and bacteria. The basis of their work is the reverse osmosis mechanism; as a result of cleaning, only water molecules remain.

Harm - Salt-free or distilled water is not very useful for the body, so this filter is used mainly in industrial facilities. With the regular use of such water demineralization of the body occurs - water devoid of salts will take them from the organs and tissues of man. All this threatens with diseases of the bone and cardiovascular systems, metabolic disorders and premature aging.

Heaped filters are supplied with a system of artificial mineralization of already purified water. The digestibility of salts added to water artificially leaves much to be desired. The best water is invented by nature, and artificial additives are a blow to the urinary system and metabolism! The next danger - carcinogenic chlorine compounds easily penetrate through the membrane back into the water. And this is the risk of developing cancer.

Jug type filters

as a rule, they purify water only from specific pollutants. In the root of the wrong is the universal fashion for jugs, which supposedly are suitable for any water. Without prior analysis of the water filter may be useless in your particular case. Microorganisms caught from water can multiply in filter cartridges, enriching drinking water with sources of infectious diseases.

Is it good to drink melt water?

Not so long ago, there was a real boom among the population about the benefits of melt water. At home, to get true melt water is impossible. This method is comparable to settling - after thawing, only the upper part of the melt water is used, and the harmful sediment is drained into the sewer system. But, alas, not all impurities will be in this sediment.

Well water myths

Many people bring drinking water from wells from their relatives living in the villages. It is supposedly both tastier and healthier. In fact, well water most often does not meet the requirements of sanitary regulations. At best, there will be off-scale iron content, nitrates and sulphates, at worst - pathogenic microorganisms will be detected.

Well water is produced from surface aquifers most prone to sewage pollution. Rainwater also often falls into wells, contributing to pollution. For those who still have doubts, we note that when cleaning wells at the bottom, very often found remains of animal corpses, empty bottles and other garbage are obviously not healthy supplements.

What water should be given to children?

Children under 3 years old should use bottled water of the highest category for drinking and cooking, after boiling it in compliance with the rules of boiling. Children after 3 years can already drink bottled water of the highest category and without boiling, but reducing the shelf life of an open bottle by half.

But many doctors consider these restrictions somewhat overstated and advise parents after a year to give their children proven, clean water without boiling. As for special children's water - as a rule, it contains very few minerals (0.2-0.3 g / l), which means it will flush out salt from the body.

  However, it is easy to make really useful drinking water by yourself, and without much effort. Below you will learn what kind of water is best to drink, and how to make “health water” at home.

What water should you drink for health?

So, what kind of water is good to drink for health, and where to get it? Suppose that a person has no devices, no filters, no devices that are offered to you, and for very big money. You can do everything at home in the kitchen. In order to get useful drinking water, that is, structured, you can use any water that runs from a tap, or from a stream, or spring water. Structured water is a liquid whose structure corresponds to the water inside the body and which the body does not need to transform.

The recipe for making this useful water is as follows:

• In the evening, you take a 3- or 5-liter jar of water. Let her stand from evening to morning. There will be a sediment in the water, even if it is not visible, but it will be. In the morning you carefully pour the top of the water into the pan, and pour the bottom layer, 1-2 cm with sediment.
• Purified water in an open pan, you must put on the stove to heat. Do not move away from the stove, watch the water in the pan. It is necessary to wait for the appearance of small bubbles. This is called the "white key" effect. When the spring beats, then there are visible small-small bubbles. This moment you must be seen. We can not allow the appearance of large bubbles - this is already boiling.
• As soon as you notice these small bubbles, then remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and place under cold water. The water in the pan needs to be cooled, and the sooner the better. Water becomes degassed, structured, biologically active, alkaline. This is the water you need to drink, it is an electrolyte, a very powerful energy substance. And it is this water through the membrane enters the cells. It is this water that she eats. It is the basis of the life of any cell. Everything else is secondary.
• It is even better if you pour water several times from one cup to another before taking it. But this is only part of the water that the cells need.

What is the most useful drinking water?

What other water to drink for the health of the body? You can drink water with 3% hydrogen peroxide, it also sterilizes water, and you can do without boiling. The recipe for such “water of health” is simple: add 10-15 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide to each glass of water you drink. Water becomes sterile, and all problems are solved. But you should drink water with peroxide on an empty stomach.

It is important not only to know what water to drink for health, but also to observe the drinking regime. This rule is inherent in us by Nature:  you need to drink water before eating, at least 10-15 minutes, and 1-2 hours after eating. Knowing what water to drink, you will significantly prolong your life, and without any problems, because water is life itself and both cell nutrition and its disposal from metabolic products, that is slagging, depend on it.

Many people believe that the most useful drinking water is boiled. But it turns out that when boiling, the harmful properties of chlorine only increase, it goes into trihalomethane, a carcinogenic substance, which, for example, when taking a bath, is absorbed into the skin with degreased skin with soap and shampoo, although after boiling the pH of water can rise to 1 unit from 5, 8-6.0 to 7.0, which is important.

Now many people drink mineral water. Smart people know that mineral water is drunk in the place where it is extracted from a well. There it is ionized, that is, in it all the elements are in suspended soluble state, it is warm and useful. As soon as it was poured into bottles and transported over long distances, it is not the same water. In it, ions are replaced by molecules, harmful inorganic compounds appear - uric acid salts. The consequence of their entry into the body is osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, and all that you want. And that the most dangerous, teach children to this water. This can not be done.

Water in which there are inorganic compounds is the most harmful water. Mineral water is good only when it is ionized, and you drink it at the spring in the sanatorium. In other conditions, you can not drink it, especially on an ongoing basis. Although medicine allows you to drink this water. You can drink, but only temporarily. And sometimes people switch to the constant consumption of this water.

There are other harmful drinks: Pepsi-Cola, Coca-Cola and others like them. These are dangerous drinks, especially for children. They have a lot of sugar, preservatives and other chemicals. This is a kind of toxic substances. You can rarely drink them a little, but if you are systematically consumed, expect trouble, the emergence of such serious diseases as obesity, diabetes, etc.

Clear water is the only drink that is needed to maintain your health. All the rest is civilized delights.

Drink only need clean water.

How to make drinking water at home from tap water

How to make good drinking water yourself at home? If you do not have cleaners, then note these recipes useful water.

• On 1 liter of water - 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar and honey, 3-5 drops of 5% iodine (in such an environment, microbes die in a few minutes).
• 10-15 leaves of mountain ash for 1-3 l of water make it clean after 2 hours (even marsh, hunters know this).
• And how to make flint drinking water? You can make flint water on black silicon. It is done by the method of ordinary insisting on natural material. 15-25 g flint for 3-5 and more liters of water. Water after 5-7 days becomes lively, clean, and you need to drink it in 1 glass on an empty stomach and before eating, just one day to 1-1.5 liters. For cooking, use water infused for 2-3 days at room temperature, preferably in an enamel pot with a lid, and for treatment you need to insist 5-7 days. Black silicon is practically non-consumable material: it will last for a long time, only you should not use the bottom layer of water 3-4 cm and, before pouring fresh water, silicon should be washed. Do not boil stones at all. All the healing qualities of silicon water are stored for a long time, but it is better to store it at room temperature in a sealed container. Over time, a white film forms on the surface of the stone - evidence that the stone stops working. To clean the film with a toothbrush and salt water
     or split the stone into smaller pieces.
• You can make flint water on the horsetail. It needs to be harvested in August, then more silicon accumulates in it. Tie 50-60 g of horsetail into a bundle and dip into a bucket with water, bring to a boil, leave for 3-4 hours and use water for cooking.
• In another recipe, how to make water healthy. For a 3-liter jar of raw water, you should take crushed shells (without internal film) from 2-3 chicken or 8-10 quail eggs, add the juice of 1 lemon or cranberry, lingonberries, or 1-2 tbsp. spoon apple cider vinegar and use. At the same time, the cleaning properties of this portion of the shell are valid for 4-5 days: water can be poured as many times as necessary, as required, each time adding the specified ingredients. At the same time, water is not only purified, but also alkalized, which contributes to the absorption of calcium. After 4-5 days we are preparing a new portion of the shell.
• Add 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 l of water - in a few minutes the water will be sterile and useful.
• It is noticed that when working with hot iron, a blacksmith periodically dips it into water, after which she, by reacting with oxidized iron, becomes bactericidal, clean. Such ingestion water normalizes the gastrointestinal tract, but externally it is a good remedy for the prevention of boils, pyoderma, and makes the skin supple. Heat a few nails and dip into the water, the microbes die in 2-5 minutes. Nails do not throw away, they can serve for a long time. By the way, this water is one of the best means of replenishing the body with calcium, and even if you add a little lemon juice to it, it forms calcium citrate, which is perfectly absorbed by the body, unlike the usual calcium carbonate recommended by doctors, which crystallizes calcium. This water is recommended to drink in diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and other systems, in violation of metabolic processes (arthrosis, arthritis, etc.), with problems with hair, etc.
• Even the swamp water, in which they put the leaves of mountain ash, becomes clean after 3 hours.
• Pour into a jar of water, next to put a lit candle, sit next. Besides the fact that the fire will eliminate the negative energy, the water in 10-15 minutes becomes biologically active.
• There is a ridiculously simple folk way to determine whether you can or cannot drink water from a natural pond, lake or pond: you must spit into the water, and if the spittle has broken, feel free to drink water, if it remains as a solid spot, keep away from it.

Now you know how to make drinking water out of tap water, so do not be lazy, give yourself health, it's so easy!

The question of what kind of water is best to drink, people ask as often as the question about. So let's try to figure it out.

The easiest and cheapest option that we are forced to use willy-nilly.

To poison this water is impossible. However, to say that it is beneficial to health, would also be a great exaggeration.

In our country, water is mainly disinfected with chlorine. This halogen itself is a fairly poisonous substance. However, it is much worse that when water is treated with chlorine, disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed. These are quite strong carcinogens that disrupt the liver, kidneys and nervous system.

In addition to chlorine and DBPs, in tap water you can find:

• arsenic (carcinogen);
• aluminum (increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, provokes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, especially liver disease);
• herbicides and pesticides;
• substances that mimic hormone estrogen;
• remnants of drugs;
• heavy metals.

The list is definitely not complete. A lot depends on the specific region and the operation of water supply systems in it.

Do water filters save?

Yes, but not completely. None of the cleaning filters used in everyday life makes it possible to remove all contaminating compounds from the water. However, the concentration of toxins after passing water through the filter, even the simplest filter jug ​​with activated carbon, is markedly reduced.

What water is better to drink boiled or raw?

This question always arises when discussing the possibility of water consumption from the tap. Is it necessary and can it be boiled?

Yes, it is better to boil. Since it protects against the ingress of pathogens.

What is obvious.

However, some time ago there were reports that boiling water, especially twice, can be harmful to health. Many people believed it. And now they are afraid to boil.

In vain. There is no danger.

When it comes to the fact that it is harmful to boil the code, they usually mean that it should not boil. As if its volume decreases significantly, it will lead to an increase in the concentration of various chemicals that are always present in tap water.

Therefore, you should never drink water that has almost completely evaporated. Just do not add new portion to it and boil again.

But if you just boil water, drink a seagull and pour a new portion into the kettle, there will be no harm from it.

Those who are still afraid to boil water again, each time can pour only a fresh portion into the kettle. But in any case, do not refuse to boil.

Bottled water

If you think that by drinking bottled water instead of tap water, you protect your health, then you are most likely mistaken.

First, according to statistics, 40% of bottled water is tap water.

Secondly, storing water in plastic is extremely harmful, since plastic releases synthetic hormone bisphenol A into water, which is associated with such health problems as:

• mental retardation and learning problems;
• reduced immunity;
• prostate and breast cancer;
• obesity;
• early puberty in children of both sexes.

So do not waste money in vain. Instead of bottled water, better get a quality filter.

Can I drink distilled water?

Once or twice, you can. Daily consumption of such water on a regular basis is dangerous.

Distilled water washes electrolytes.

The use of water that has undergone a similar purification procedure leads to an extremely rapid loss of electrolytes by the body. In large volumes and in the absence of the proper amount of salts in the body, as it happens with, it can lead to a heart rhythm disturbance and swelling of the brain. Until death.

Of course, from a few glasses of such water, drunk from time to time, nothing will happen. But drinking it constantly in no case is impossible.

Unfortunately, many produce drinks, both sweet and non-sweet, run on distilled water.

Studies have shown that people who regularly and in large quantities consume a variety of soda, etc., excrete significant amounts of calcium, magnesium and other minerals with urine. And it adversely affects their health.

The more minerals are washed out of their body, the higher the risk of early development of pathologies such as:

• osteoporosis;
• arthrosis;
• hypothyroidism;
• ischemic heart disease, hypertension, etc.

Distilled water increases "acidity"

This negative effect of regular consumption of distilled water cannot be considered fully proven, as some scientists in principle do not agree that with any food products, including water, you can change the pH of the blood.

Nevertheless, the hypothesis that this is possible, and that distilled water strongly “enrolls” the organism, exists, and therefore it is unreasonable to dismiss it.

Distilled water is free of minerals. And, therefore, very aggressive. In contact with air, it adsorbs carbon dioxide extremely quickly on itself. And it gives it acidic properties. And so strong that some metals can even be dissolved by it (in the laboratory, of course, not all metals; you should not try to dissolve the plug and say later that it does not work).

Thus, it can be argued that the longer and more a person drinks distilled water, the more he loses the minerals necessary for life and “acidifies” his body, thereby causing considerable damage to his own.

Is water safe from alkolizers and ionizers?

Once distilled water is harmful because it is acidified, a sensible idea arises that water can be latched. And it will become more useful.

How much is such a proposal true?

True, but not quite.

First, the majority of various alkalizers are produced by MLM companies that have an extremely dubious reputation.

Secondly, regular itself.

It is established that this water can be consumed no more than 1-2 weeks. Longer intake leads to a decrease in the normal acidity of gastric juice, which leads to problems with digestion and, consequently, to a deterioration in health.

So in the end, what kind of water is better to drink?

The purest and healing water is found in natural mountain springs. But since this type of water is available to an extremely small number of people, it makes no sense to talk about it.

Therefore, the only thing that can be advised is to use ordinary tap water, after passing it through high-quality household filters, which should be changed regularly.

Very good alkalizing water a little. Only this should be done not with the help of alkalizers, but by adding natural lemon juice to the glass.
