Is mineral water really beneficial to health?


Mineral water is registered as a controlled food substance under the Food Act of 1979. Bottled mineral water first became popular in Europe, afterwards finding consumer interest in Thailand. The fact is that natural mineral water is no more beneficial to health than general, clean, germ-free drinking water. On the contrary, more caution needs to be taken when drinking mineral water than plain drinking water. It must be borne in mind that mineral water is a mild diuretic and the more minerals in the water the more diuretic it becomes, Drinking mineral water may also induce allergic reactions as it contains chloride and other substance. If allergic symptoms arise, it is best to see a doctor immediately.


Bottles mineral waters offered on the market in Thailand must undergo official analysis and display labels detailing the composition of the water, which can vary only slightly from what is laid down. The water must be clean. Germ-free and most importantly, labels must not specify that the water has medicinal attributes.
Also, the quality of mineral waters varies according to their natural sources. This can have adverse effects on consumers, as is already warned by the Food and Drug Administration. Consumers, therefore, should always study bottle labels before buying.

Water and beauty



BEAUTY

Drinking sufficient water is essential for good health, especially for the beauty-conscious individual who desires glowing skin. This is because water makes up two-thirds of our skin. Even when resting, skin can lose up to a half-liter of water through evaporation, with more than normal losses incurred during spells of hot weather.
As we grow older, skin suffers further moisture loss. Causing it to become dry and rough. Advice that a person should drink around eight glasses of water a day should be well heeded, because water losses should be replenished.
Beauty experts advocate warm water for cleansing the face, after which a moisturizer should be applied on a regular basis as an alternative for bringing back moisture to the skin.
