What Elements to be checked on label while buying mineral water?

Despite these benefits there are still a few reasons why individuals are hesitant to drink mineral water. As a result, it becomes important to check the elements that are labeled on mineral water bottles.

1. You will receive important minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium from it. Some brands, however, could also contain minerals like salt, sulphur, and nitrate that are not as healthy.

2. Minerals are necessary for a healthy body, but we can even get them by eating a balanced diet, or by taking supplements. Only a modest amount of minerals is required by the body.

3. Mineral water and other packaged beverages are not healthy, if they are packaged in plastic bottles. If the plastic bottle is left in a hot car on a sunny day, chemicals may leak out, and end up in the water.

Elements to check on label while buying mineral water: Verify the label for the following elements;

·  Sodium: The required sodium intake for both diet and water should not be exceeded. For people with high blood pressure, this will be dangerous.

·  Nitrates: Pregnant women and infants under six months of age may be harmed by mineral water, with high nitrate content. Therefore, it is advised to steer clear of brands that contain nitrate.

·  Aluminum: It is advised to steer clear of brands whose water contains traces of aluminum.

·  Sulphates: Most groundwaters include sulphate, and almost all brands have traces of this mineral. Sulphates are well known for cleansing the liver, aiding in digestion, and boosting circulation to the skin, to improve skin health. Additionally, it eases muscular spasms.

· Rough residue: Salt content overall in bottled water (usually carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, Sulphates, nitrates, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium).

· Bicarbonates: More than 600 mg of bicarbonates per litre of water is regarded as being bicarbonated.

· Calcium: When water has more than 150 mg of calcium per litre, it is categorized as calcium water.

· Chlorides: When water has more than 200 mg/l of chlorides, it has been chlorinated.

· Fluorine: With more than 1 mg of fluorine per litre, the water is regarded as fluoridated. Natural mineral waters with a fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/l, are required by Indian legislation, to label their products with the warning, "contains more than 1.5 mg/l of fluoride: not appropriate for frequent intake by infants and children under seven years of age."

·  Magnesium: Magnesium water is classified as having more than 50 milligrams of magnesium per litre.

Additional Information to Check on Label

Mineral water sold in bottles does not always come from natural sources. It may also be tap or distilled water, which has undergone processing and mineral additions, during the bottling process. Therefore, to determine if you are purchasing natural mineral water or not, read the label.

Observe the following on the label as well:

•  Acidity (pH): Mineral water should be pH 7 or slightly higher, and be neutral. Water is classified as acidic or alkaline according to a scale of 0 to 7.

•  Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Minimum of 250 mg/liter (or 250 parts per million).

We lose water from our bodies every day through sweat and other bodily waste. Every day, we need to refill 5 quarts of water on average. Therefore, drinking the right amount of high-quality water, will maintain our bodies healthy and functioning properly.

You must be thinking!

Is bottled water preferable to tap water or can we rely on it? Which brand, out of the many that are being sold, should we pick?

Read the label on the mineral water bottle before purchasing. By comprehending its contents, you can choose something healthy.

According to what we have previously seen, the firms themselves pick what to include and what not, therefore each labelling varies based on the brands. This aspect makes it difficult for consumers to compare items and may confuse them. The organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) specifies several components as being required, since they believe the information should be as uniform and comprehensive as feasible.
