Are there hidden dangers lurking in your drinking water? Answer: While it may appear crystal clear and refreshing, pure spring water could hide a sinister secret. Even though it may pass the purity test, this seemingly innocent liquid contains inorganic minerals that can wreak havoc on your body. Yes, you read that right – those minerals that are supposed to be good for us might be doing more harm than good! But fear not because today we will explore an alternative solution: distilled water.
Pure Spring Water (though it may test pure) Contains Inorganic Minerals
Drinking pure spring water is the epitome of healthy hydration. After all, it’s natural, refreshing, and free from any artificial additives or contaminants. But here’s the catch: even though it may pass all purity tests with flying colors, pure spring water still contains inorganic minerals.
These minerals exist in the earth’s crust and find their way into underground springs where our beloved “pure” water comes from. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, salt, and cholesterol are just a few examples of the inorganic minerals that make their home in your glass of seemingly pristine H2O. Our system cannot properly absorb these minerals. Instead, they get stored in our bodies with destructive consequences.
When we consume mineral-laden water regularly, these unabsorbable minerals accumulate over time. They build up in various body organs and tissues, wreaking havoc on their functioning and leading to a variety of health issues such as kidney stones, high blood pressure, and even cardiovascular problems.
You might be thinking, “What’s wrong with a little extra mineral content? Isn’t that good for me?” Well, not exactly. You see, unlike organic minerals found in fruits and vegetables, which our bodies can easily absorb and utilize for various functions like bone health or enzyme production, these inorganic minerals are unabsorbable by our cells.
Instead of being beneficial to our bodies, they get stored within us. Over time, this accumulation can lead to destructive consequences such as kidney stones or hardening arteries due to excessive calcium deposits!
Who would have thought something as innocent as a sip of pure spring water could have such hidden dangers?
So what should we do? Should we stop drinking water altogether? Of course not! Hydration is essential for optimal bodily function. However, it does mean we must explore alternative options that don’t come loaded with potentially harmful mineral baggage.
My preference when it comes to water is pure distilled water. Despite having my private spring water, which is as pure as you can get, I prefer distilled water because it still contains minerals, even though the spring water tests as pure and free of contaminants. Distilled water undergoes distillation, where impurities (including those pesky inorganic minerals) are left behind through evaporation and condensation while only pure steam is collected. The result is pure H2O without any harmful substances.
Minerals in natural water are inorganic, but minerals in plants are organic, so the body can use the minerals absorbed from consuming plants like vegetables, fruits, and other flora.
Pure, natural water is naturally regarded as “hard” due to the minerals present in it and the presence of sodium and cholesterol. Minerals are rocks. Though they are minute in size, that doesn’t mean the body can efficiently process them, and that’s how these tiny pieces of stone get trapped inside the body.
When trapped in the body, they cause calcification of the blood vessels, hardening of the arteries, and more.
For instance, arthritis is another example of a system clogged and broken down by unabsorbable minerals accumulated from otherwise pure, undistilled water.
As the stray inorganic minerals from hard water become a regular part of our consumption, they can build up in the human body and cause damage to the joints. This is similar to adding rocks into a car’s engine, resulting in breakdown over time. The result? Difficulty moving comfortably and potential development of arthritis.
When combined with an imbalanced diet and lack of physical activity, these factors can take their toll on our bodies, leaving us feeling uncomfortable.
So, when you drink distilled water, you’re giving your body access to truly clean and absorbable hydration without any unwanted extras tagging along for the ride. It hydrates your brain, body, and organs such as kidneys, lungs, stomach, liver, blood, and vessels without the risk of accumulating harmful minerals.
Our blood carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body while removing waste products. Drinking distilled water regularly supports this crucial function by maintaining a healthy flow of properly hydrated blood.
Distilled water hydrates the bloodstream and its vessels – the intricate network of arteries and veins coursing through us like rivers carrying life-giving fluids.
Distilled water is the best choice for avoiding these dangerous mineral-laden waters. It goes through a process where impurities are removed, leaving only pure H2O molecules behind. Every drop we consume effectively hydrates not just our throat or stomach but also reaches all the way to our brain and vital organs.
Additionally, distilled water helps flush out toxins from the body due to its purity. By choosing distilled over mineral-laden waters, we actively support detoxification processes within ourselves without any harmful side effects.
Rainwater is inherently distilled, but rain becomes contaminated as it falls through our polluted atmosphere.
In the past, those who lived exceptionally long lives likely favored rainwater over other sources due to its ability to keep their bodies fully hydrated and promote longevity.
Considering this approach could benefit us too, but the current state of our air quality makes distillation a more practical solution.
