Medical power of underground water for the ancient people were a mystery. It is sometimes attributed to some mysterious creatures supposedly lived in springs. However, have been taken and scientific attempts to explain the effectiveness of mineral waters.
Arhigenes Greek physician who lived in I century BC. e., one of the world's first claimed that the secret of underground water - in their composition. He even engaged in systematization of water, dividing them into 4 groups: alkaline, iron, salt and sulfur. About 2 thousand years have passed since then. Today no one doubts that the strength of these waters is caused by the substances contained. Some substances contained in mineral waters in the form of ions, the other in the form of undissociated molecules, and others are colloidal particles. Of course, the various mineral waters are different from each other and a set of components and their ratio. Some of these "living waters" suitable for drinking, others for medicinal baths.
Although the majority of buyers all mineral water - on one person, in fact, their varieties are vast.
The chemical composition of six different classes of mineral water: bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, mixed, biologically active and aerated.
Bicarbonate water reduces the acidity of gastric juice. However, depending on the application of the method are capable to stimulate, and inhibit the secretion of gastric juice. They are used in the treatment of urolithiasis.
Chloride water stimulates metabolic processes in the body, improve the secretion of stomach, pancreas, small intestine. They are used in disorders of the digestive system.
Sulfate water stimulates motility of the gastrointestinal tract, especially a favorable effect on the restoration of the liver and gallbladder. They are used in diseases of biliary tract, chronic hepatitis, diabetes, obesity.
Most mineral waters are a complex hybrid structure (chloride-sulfate, bicarbonate, sulfate, etc.), which increases their therapeutic effect when used correctly.
As the temperature of mineral water are divided into cold (up to 20 ° C), subthermal (20 - 37 ° C), thermal (37 - 42 ° C) and hyperthermal (over 42 ° C).
As the degree of concentration of mineral salts, natural mineral waters are divided into:
- Canteen
- Medical stlovye
- Spa
Dining. Mineral (natural) water is suitable for everyday use. The salt content in it does not exceed 1 gram per liter of water.
As a rule, it is mild, pleasant taste, without any foreign smell and taste. Not by chance on the basis of table water produced soft drinks.
Therapeutic dining. This water can contain from 1 to 10 grams of salt per liter of water. The advantage of medical table mineral waters, which include such products of JSC "Istok", as the popular water "Crystal source", "Healing the source, is their versatility: they can be used as a table and drink regularly - for treatment.
Therapeutic. Most saturated salt composition of water. This category includes mineral water with a salinity - more than 10 grams per liter, or water with high content of active trace elements, such as arsenic or boron. It should drink strictly on the advice of a doctor.
In addition to natural mineral waters are artificially mineralized water.
Production of artificial mineral water is 2 stages. First, the water pumped out, either from an artesian well, and most of the water, then subjected to a deep cleaning. Careful filtering removes not only harmful impurities, but all the useful salts and minerals. And that water could still be called mineral inevitable second stage - an utterly purified water artificially "inject" useful properties, saturated with salts. The output is not that active living environment, but simply a solution of salts. Kecantikan, or repairing the water on the guests are treated to a class of non-alcoholic beverages and no relation to the mineral waters is not.
Artificial mineral water is not harmful, but useful properties it is not enough. Contaminated waste water civilization, which was at hand, just cleaned, and then saturated with salts.
Production of artificial water has become a massive industry. On the counters appeared clandestinely produced water, sub-standard. In Moscow, it takes up to 55% of the market Minvod. Naturally, a glut can take place either undersaturation of its salts. Chronic use of such water could lead to deposition of salts, disruption in the body of water-salt balance and the development of cardiovascular disease.
Mineral water can be local and imported. The role of local groundwater increases significantly. This is due to the fact that in recent decades due to intensive water extraction, the mineralization of a number of well-known brands of mineral water has changed. Since uncontrolled exploitation of the source Essentuki 20 led not only to a change in the quality of the water, but her health and bacteriological contamination. As a result, use for drinking purposes and bottling water Essentuki 20 is not carried out.
All information about the mineral water produced in Russia, is given on the label. It states its purpose: dining room, dining room or a therapeutic spa, as well as the level of mineralization (usually - in percentage). Also necessarily an indication of the chemical composition, and for the healing waters and recommendations for the application
