Drink Water with Diversity

 We hear lots of different advice on what water is best to drink. Some are warranted with the best intentions some are trendy and are more a marketing scam. If you care about what you put in your body and are interested in finding a good drinking mineral water to nourish your body and replace the fluids you body loses and aren't real keen on drinking your water from your faucet for whatever the reasons maybe, the look no further than your local supermarket for the regular brand drinking waters. To get the minerals out of your water for your money, think diversity rather that one particular brand.

   All natural bottled spring waters contain minerals some more than others and some slightly different than others. Spring water is generally cheaper than labeled 'mineral water' and to be honest there isn't much difference! The only difference is the label, mineral waters will list their ph balances and also the mineral content found from that particular source. Spring waters on the other hand do not list this information usually. Look at where the mineral water is from, note the region of the world. Then look for natural spring waters with that same region listed as a source. It may not be perfect but it will be close, and save you money in the long run.

   If you favor one particular source of spring water over another based on taste that's fine, although its good to diversify your sources and where they are from. Over time our bodies adapt to the minerals and nutrients we supply it with. Spring waters may contain all basicly the same minerals in them cause they are all from the same planet. Although different regions vary how the particular mineral is introduced into the water. For example water from Fiji contains calcium, and it may be coming from the rich soil that contains a layer of calsified fossils deep under the surface that took millions of years to create, verses spring water from Arkansas will also contain calcium but its source comes directly from the rich layers of limestone rocks in the region. Both contain calcium but from two different sources. They way your body responds to the mineral is key for optimum absorption. If you are always feeding your body with that mineral from a specific source, over time your body can be less likely to absorb at its maximum capacity. Though if you change up your sources you can optimize your mineral intake.

   You may discover one source of minerals is better than another. At any rate there is a health benefit to diversify your water that you drink. So the next time you pop in your local grocery store to buy a case of water, read the labels of where the water is from, and change it up from time to time.
   In my experience, this has proved beneficial to my health. Over time you can 'feel' the differences when you drink water from different region of the Earth. Think Global Hydrology.
