Minerals in our Water

Most of us think that water is just that: pure water. However, many times a good spring water will contain a ton of minerals and nutrients that we need to help keep us healthy and balanced. To begin with, water contains bicarbonate, which is present in all of our organs and fluids. This mineral is a buffer to help maintain the correct pH balance in your body. It also helps you to aid with digestion. Water and bicarbonate tends to be enough to help with an upset stomach. Sodium, which is also known as salt, is also found in our spring water. This helps to regulate the water present in the body. Sodium also helps you to generate electrical signals to your brain, and communicate with the muscles and central nervous system. Water also contains tons of calcium, which we know to be important for our bones. Calcium also helps the body to clot blood, develop muscles, and assist the central nervous system to function. Lastly, magnesium is a mineral that is vital to our bodily structure and its function. Most of this is stored in our skeletal system, and helps us to create energy. Water not only helps to keep us hydrated, especially during the summer, but also contains some of the nutrients and minerals that our bodies need. So go drink some water and start living a little healthier now.
