The difference between distilled water and mineral water

Mineral water, as the name suggests, refers to water containing various minerals, and the various trace elements and minerals in the water meet the relevant standards. Distilled water is water that has been distilled and chemically treated, with no minerals in it. Although distilled water is clean and does not contain any impurities, it also does not contain any nutrients. Let’s take a look at the differences between distilled water and mineral water below.

Mineral water is deep groundwater containing minerals, and the content of minerals and trace elements in the water must meet the standards specified by the state to be called mineral water.

Natural mineral water contains more minerals, and certain specific elements have health-promoting effects on human health. However, it is not suitable for younger babies to use mineral water instead of boiled water, because some minerals in mineral water can irritate the baby's stomach.

In addition, the content of sodium ions and chloride ions in mineral water is relatively high, and the water hardness is also relatively high. If heated and boiled, mineral precipitation will occur, making the water turbid, and some babies do not like to drink it.

In fact, the minerals and trace elements contained in a bottle of mineral water are negligible for the human body, and these elements can be supplemented in many daily foods such as meat, milk, nuts, whole grains, etc., and the amount that can be absorbed is much greater than mineral water. If you want to supplement your nutrition by drinking mineral water, then drink as much as you can. It won't work if you don't drink hundreds of liters of water a day.

Distilled water is made by using distillation equipment to vaporize and condense water. This kills all bacteria and removes trace elements at the same time, so it is not suitable for babies to drink for a long time.

Warm reminder

1. It is best for normal people to drink boiled water and mineral water on a daily basis.

Mineral water contains minerals needed by the human body and can supplement the body's needs. It is more suitable for normal people than purified water. Boiled water can easily penetrate the cell membrane into cells, promote the body's metabolism, enhance the body's immune function, and improve the body's disease resistance. It is the drinking water that best meets the needs of the human body.

2. Do not drink the same type of water for a long time, especially purified water.

People of different ages should drink water with different mineral contents. For example, water containing orthosilicic acid is good for the cardiovascular system of the elderly, but is not suitable for children. For patients with kidney stones, it is recommended to choose mineral-free purified water or distilled water.
