Before I started writing this article, I didn\u2019t spend much time thinking about water. I knew that\u00a0drinking water is a good thing, and drinking\u00a0activated charcoal water\u00a0can be a bad thing.\u00a0But if you asked me the difference is between mineral water and regular water? I had no clue.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Admit it. You don’t know the difference<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s pretty obvious that mineral water is, well,\u00a0water with minerals, but what minerals? Doesn\u2019t all water have minerals? I wanted a concrete definition \u2014 I\u2019m talking Scripps National Spelling Bee level, people.<\/p>\n

It turns out, some people do know what mineral water is. Those people are the FDA, which actually\u00a0regulates bottled water. They say that natural mineral waters must contain at least 250 parts per million (ppm) \u201ctotal dissolved solids,\u201d originating from \u201ca geologically and physically protected underground water source.\u201d In other words, mineral waters have to come out of the earth that way.<\/p>\n

Mineral water commonly contains substances like magnesium, calcium, sodium, and zinc, and, according to recent research, they\u2019re actually a pretty effective way to boost your mineral intake. A\u00a0recent study\u00a0found that mineral water has some legitimate health benefits.<\/p>\n

At its core, mineral water provides minerals the human body can\u2019t create itself. While you don\u2019t\u00a0need\u00a0to drink Fiji Water to get your magnesium RDA, those pricey bottles are a legitimate method of consumption. “Depending on the source, certain mineral waters are a good source of calcium, which is important for bone health,” says\u00a0Mia Syn, MS, RDN of\u00a0Nutrition by Mia. “The recent study showed that the bioavailability of calcium in mineral waters was comparable or possibly better than that of dairy products, meaning our body can readily absorb and utilize it.”<\/p>\n

In addition to promoting healthy bone development, the study also notes \u201csignificant benefits for healthy digestion\u201d thanks to magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate, bicarbonate, and chloride.<\/p>\n

However, Syn cautions that mineral waters should still be carefully considered, just like any other supplement. “Some mineral waters are high in sodium, which should be minimized in individuals with high blood pressure,” she says. “If you are drinking sparkling mineral water, it is important to ensure you stay hydrated in other ways if needed, since the carbonation can be filling and may potentially lower your overall intake.”<\/p>\n

The researchers found one more benefit of mineral water: It\u2019s delicious. And, as\u00a0Americans reduce their soda consumption, many people are turning to mineral water (and yes,\u00a0LaCroix) as a healthful alternative. So while nobody should feel obligated to start buying mineral water by the caseload, this is one product that\u2019s true to its name.<\/p>\n
