What minerals are contained in the water

The water we drink is rich in minerals, because the water we drink is groundwater. These underground fresh waters can reach our lives after being filtered. The minerals needed for our body activities are taken from these fresh waters, and these minerals cannot be lacking. If they are lacking, we may suffer from muscle weakness. So what minerals are contained in water?

It is rich in 48 kinds of mineral trace elements beneficial to human health, such as orthosilicic acid, lithium, bromine, selenium, copper, strontium, etc.; It contains high mineral content: the average mineral content per ton of hot spring water is as high as 35 kilograms, and it is especially favored for its high content of radon and hydrogen, which are most beneficial to the human body; High medical value: Yingcheng Tangchi Hot Spring water has high medical value, especially for cardiovascular and digestive tract diseases.

Selenium-rich hot springs can prevent cancer. Hot spring water contains a variety of minerals. Taking a hot spring bath can eliminate fatigue, treat skin diseases and arthritis, and has many health benefits for the body.

1. What are minerals?

Minerals, also known as inorganic salts, are also important substances that constitute human tissues and maintain normal physiological activities. It is indispensable for maintaining normal life activities of the human body. Human tissues contain almost all the elements that exist in nature. Among them, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the main components of organic substances such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Most of the remaining elements function in the body in the form of inorganic compounds, collectively referred to as minerals or inorganic salts. Some elements are also components of organic compounds in the body (such as enzymes, hormones, and hemoglobin). These minerals are divided into major elements (also known as macroelements) and trace elements according to their content in the human body. Elements whose content in the body is greater than 0.01% of body weight are called macroelements, which include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, sulfur, etc. They are all essential elements for the human body. Trace elements are those whose content is less than 0.01% of body weight. There are many types of trace elements. Currently, people believe that there are 14 essential trace elements, namely zinc, copper, iron, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, tin, vanadium, iodine, selenium, fluorine, nickel and silicon. Although trace elements are present in small amounts in the body, they have very important physiological functions. They are both the constituents of the body and the participants and regulators of life activities. Moreover, they cannot be replaced by other substances.

Minerals and trace elements are like other nutrients, and the more the better. Each mineral and trace element has a certain suitable range in the body to exert its physiological function. If the intake is below this range, deficiency symptoms may occur, and if the intake is above this range, poisoning may occur. Therefore, it is important to control their intake well.

2. Overall physiological functions of minerals and their deficiency

In summary, it can be divided into three aspects:

1. It is the main material that constitutes hard tissues such as human bones and teeth.

2. It dissolves in body fluids in the form of ions to maintain the normal distribution of water in the human body, the acid-base balance of body fluids and the normal excitability of nerves and muscles.

3. It is a component and activator of some enzymes.

Due to metabolism, a certain amount of minerals and trace elements are excreted through feces, urine, skin, hair, nails, etc. every day and must be supplemented from food and drinking water. The minerals and trace elements that are easily lacking in the Chinese people's diet include calcium, iron, iodine and other elements. In some areas with special geological conditions, there is a problem of fluorine poisoning or selenium poisoning due to excessive intake of fluorine or selenium.
