This type of water obtained from mineral springs has long been considered important and not only because of its healthful properties. Many years ago the idea of using water from springs for external and internal use became a valuable commercial enterprise, in the form of spas and health resorts. Wealthy patrons of these establishments would go on breaks to “take the waters” – meaning that they would drink bathe in the water.

Historical mineral springs were often decorated with elaborate stone-works, including artificial pools, retaining walls, colonnades and roofs. Sometimes these would take the form of fanciful “Greek temples”, gazebos or pagodas. Others were entirely enclosed in houses built directly over the springs. While spas are still popular today, they tend to include a range of other activities and therapies, such as meditation, massage, exercise programmes, dietary regimes and more.

Imagine your body as a container that is three quarters full of water. Every part of the body is made up of cells, and they are filled with a water solution of proteins, lipids, amino acids and other elements. The reason for the presence of all this water is that all the reactions that keep us alive are electric in nature and water is the medium in which these physicochemical reactions happen. The body needs electrolytes (minerals like: sodium, chloride, potassium, and bicarbonate) for its basic functions. When the body lacks water, the electrolysis cannot happen and our cells dry out and die. Doctors are well aware that dehydration, second only to oxygen deprivation, robs life fastest. Minor dehydration – not enough to cause death – is both the result and the hidden cause of many illnesses. We need to keep our cells hydrated in order to maintain our body’s electrochemical balance and stay alive.

Water also dissolves toxins and helps the body flush them away, lubricates cartilages that buffer the joints, transports the oxygen we breathe to all our organs. And when you have a headache, back pain, muscle spasm, stomach ache, or feel depressed without obvious reason, drinking plenty of mineral water can be hugely beneficial.

Physical activity in warm weather causes you to lose moisture through perspiration. But you should drink water before you feel thirsty. The reason for this is that if you are thirsty it means you’re already slightly dehydrated. Carry mineral water with you everywhere, to eliminate the possibility of drinking tap water. If you work out or play sport, you can lose around one and a half litres of fluid for every hour of exercise. An early symptom of dehydration is fatigue, which causes a significant drop in sporting performance. It may also make you susceptible to cramps, heat stress and heat stroke.

We recommend, therefore that you avoid starting exercise dehydrated. Drink plenty for several hours beforehand. If you are well hydrated you should be able to pass a volume of clear urine a while before exercise. An hour before you start running or working out, drink at least two cups of water and at least 150ml every 15 minutes during exercise. Take advantage of any breaks to drink plenty. And re-hydrate yourself at the end of the program.

You can figure out for yourself if you’ve drunk enough by weighing yourself before and after exercise. A loss of one kilogram is equivalent to about one litre of lost fluid. Mineral Water Suppliers can give you the ideal solution (pun intended) for your perfect fitness regime.

In the United States, the native American indians knew about the water and its benefits. Famously, the friendly Mohawk tribe invited Sir William Johnson to bathe in Rock Spring, Saratoga, in 1778. In was not until the late 19th century that Mineral spas became fashionable. American mineral springs have been much less extensively developed than those of Europe, where scientific research into springs is more advanced and widespread. However, in 1935 New York State purchased the an area of Saratoga Springs, made it a state reservation, and set up a research institute in balneology. In 1921, Arkansas Hot Springs, believed by some to have been the “Fountain of Youth” sought by Ponce de Leon, was made a national park.

Who knows, though, the Mineral Water we use today may have its source in the actual “Fountain of Youth” — wherever it’s located.

Here are some fizzy facts. Englishmen Doctor Joseph Priestley created the first drinkable man-made glass of carbonated water in 1767. In 1810, the first US patent was issued for the “means of mass manufacture of imitation mineral waters” to Simons and Rundell of Charleston, South Carolina. However, carbonated drinks didn’t achieve great popularity for another 22 years, when John Mathews invented his apparatus for the making carbonated water. His invention became hugely popular in the USA and was known as the soda fountain. American pharmacists selling mineral waters began to add medicinal and flavourful herbs to unflavoured mineral water. The ingredients they used included birch bark, dandelion, sarsaparilla, and fruit extracts. People soon wanted to take their “health” drinks home with them and a soft drink bottling industry grew from then onwards.

You can use it as a refreshing spay for your face by putting some in an atomiser.
