Mineral water

INTRODUCTION

Natural mineral waters are unique

underground waters that are differentiated
from the rest of the waters because they
are pure at origin and have a constant
composition. Its mineral composition
remains unchanged and depends on the
type of rock through which it seeps, the
residence time underground and the aquifer
temperature.
 INTRODUCTION

Mineral water is obtained from natural

springs and is characterised by its original
purity from chemical and microbiological
points of views. The underground origin
confers minerals, trace elements and other
components that have a beneficial effect on
the human body and furthermore
guarantees a chemical pollution-free source
of water.
 INTRODUCTION

Mineral water obtained from underground

sources is bacteriologically safe, has a
characteristic mineral salt content, and a
singular purity preserved over time that
produces certain beneficial effects on the
human body.
When talking about natural mineral water,
we not only refer to the water containing salt
and mineral but also to the natural properties
that are associated with the source from which
it is obtained.
This is a type of water that contains dissolved
minerals that have been taken on during its
seepage through the ground.
 CONTENTS AND
ADVANTAGES
High concentrations of dissolved minerals or
electrolytes are present in the water which prove
to be useful in preventing dehydration and
sustaining health. Mineral water benefits include
balancing the electrolytes found in the body and
restoring the required balance of water and
minerals that are lost naturally in the body.
Mineral water has properties that kill bacteria and
fungi. It cleanses the body and rids it of harmful
toxins as well as breakdown waste materials. The
water has a wide range of therapeutic functions
that can relieve and treat different short and long
term conditions and illnesses like muscle and
joint inflammation, rheumatism and arthritis.
 THE AVAILABLE MINERALS

There are several naturally present minerals in the

water providing various benefits. Magnesium is a
known stress reliever which is concentrated in
muscles and the bones. The mineral boosts the
immune system, relaxes muscles and controls
blood pressure. Chloride and bicarbonates help in
digestion by keeping and regulating the acid
balance in the intestines and stomach.
Sodium is useful in balancing water and fluids in
the body. Cells are normally bathed in fluid
containing sodium. Sulfate and silica are minerals
that cleanse the body as well as support bones and
teeth. Iron helps distribute oxygen properly
throughout the body and prevents anemia.
Potassium is required daily for energy and
improved immune response.

 MINERAL WATER
PROPERTIES
Everyone knows that the water freezes at 32,00 F or 0,00 C
degrees. While freezing it can broke pipes or any other kind of the
vessels it is in. But if it is kept inside the capillaries which have
the dimensions less than a hair thickness, it will remain fluid even
at a very low temperature below zero. It is amazing. How many
secrets more does the water keep inside?
Everyone knows that the human body consists of the water. In
reality every system of organism has the definite share of water
content: the blood-92%, kidneys-82%, brain-85%, liver-69%
muscles-75%, bones-28%.
And it gives in average about 70%! To say more, our blood is
renewed or regenerated completely inside our body every 15
days. It means that we are regenerated every 15 days too. The
water is also renewed periodically within the blood as it is an
integral part of it. So the better the quality of water we drink the
better properties the blood will acquire. Then our blood brings the
received properties to the other systems of our organism making
them healthier or putting them in disorder.
In order to make this difficult regeneration process run at a
healthier way, the water must have the definite quality and
contain certain properties.
 PROPERTIES

First one, and the most popular is

cleanliness. It is evident that the water
which will later comes to our blood
system is prohibited to contain salts of
heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites,
pesticides, xenobiotics, bacteria,
viruses, fungus, parasites, organic
substances. Otherwise our organism will
eat them and become full of enemies.
 PROPERTIES

Average hardness of water is desirable. It is connected

with taste receptors of the tongue. The water with
average hardness has a nice taste and it is pleasant to
drink it.
The third property is not so known as the previous ones
but too important for us. We speak about the water
surface tension. It plays one of the main roles in healthy
water consumption. The water surface tension specifies
the film tension between water molecules. For example
the tap water usually has the surface tension equal to
73 din/cm. But the human organism has the power to
break the water surface tension only about 43 din/cm. In
this case the human organism needs additional energy
to destroy tap water surface tension after consumption.
So if the water has lower surface tension, it will have
better dissolvent properties, quicker fluidity, enlarged
saturation capacity, improved ability to penetrate
through blood vessels.
 PROPERTIES

Antioxidant Properties.
Everyone knows that antioxidant property is very
important. Exactly this property helps the human
being live longer and prevents the coming of old age.
In this case the healthy water also has to contain
antioxidant properties. Imagine just drinking water
with antioxidants making your youth period longer.
We often hear about antioxidant properties. But what
is it? In reality it means that the substance contains
less of free oxygen. No free oxygen, no oxide process.
Like a match which can not fire in the closed glass
without oxygen. Bring the oxygen and it will burn in
no time. The antioxidant property of water is defined
by the reduction and oxidation potentiality coefficient.
If it is negative, it means the water contains very little
of the free oxygen. And the water can be considered
antioxidant. It is clear that surface water will contain
more oxygen than underground source one.
 PROPERTIES

Low mineralized mineral water is accepted better

by our organism. As a matter of fact our organism
balance is closely connected with the amount of
sodium and potassium salts consumption. The
water is a nice dissolvent liquid. It brings the salt
through our organism very quickly and feeds the
cells with salts. So if the water has the excessive
amount of sodium or potassium salts it will sure
bring one of the components to the human cell.
That will course the water misbalance in human
body. Only low mineralized water carries
insignificant amount of sodium or potassium. That
fact gives the possibility to use such mineral water
in everyday life. Other waters or liquids should be
considered at the amount of usage.
 Mineral water is water from a
mineral spring containing various
minerals such as salts and sulfur
compounds. Mineral water can be
sparkling (with effervescence), or
still (without effervescence).
 Active tourist centres have grown up around many mineral
water sites since ancient times, such as Hungary,
Hisarya (Bulgaria), Blina (Czech Republic),
Vichy (France), Jermuk (Armenia), Yessentuki (Russia),
Spa (Belgium), Krynica-Zdrj (Poland),
Sulphur Baths (Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia),
Bath (England), or Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic),
Myrhorods'ka (Ukraine). In Romania, a country enjoying a
privileged position as home to over one-third[1][2] of the
European mineral and thermal springs, resorts developed
since antiquity in places such as Bile Herculane, Geoagiu
or Slnic. Tourist development resulted in spa towns and
hydropathic hotels (often shortened to "hydros").
 Mineral water of Tryskavez
Since ancient times, we know that mineral
water from natural sources has healing
properties. Such water will not only
quench the thirst, but also help to get rid of
diseases.
 The queen of mineral water of Truskavets resort
is Naftusya. It is original both in content and
in its physiological effects on the human body.
Naftusya due to the low mineralization (up to
0,78 g/l) and rich content of organic matter (8,35-
23,8 mg/l), stimulates the discharge of small
stones and sand from the kidneys, gall bladder,
urinary and biliary tract, reduces lithogenicity (the
tendency to form stones) of urine and bile, ie
eliminates the risk of stone formation.
 Due to the immunological action renews
body defenses, promotes the elimination
of inflammatory processes in organs and
tissues, helps removal of metabolic
products and toxic substances, and
thereby prevents premature aging of the
organism.
 The source number 1 mineral water
Maria complements the list of mineral waters
of Truskavets. This is chloride-sulphate-sodium
water, which contains from 4 to 7 g/l of mineral
salts, 42 mg/l of free carbon dioxide. Mineral
water normalizes gastric secretion, depending
on the method of drinking water treatment,
contributes to liquefaction of mucus and its
evacuation from the stomach, increases
choleresis and bile, and reduces inflammation
and spasticity of the gastrointestinal tract.
 Source number 2 mineral water
Sophia is chloride-sulphate-sodium
water with a salinity of 10-12 g/l. Stimulates
gastric secretion, has low choleretic action,
normalizes motor function of the stomach and
intestines. It is used in the accompanying
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: chronic
gastritis with decreased secretion, chronic
colitis, with a tendency to constipation.
 In the central pump room, you can use the
source number 3 mineral water
Bronislava for rinsing the mouth,
throat, nose and nasopharynx (chronic
tonsillitis, periodontitis).
 In the park, two minutes walk from the complex
Chale Graal is a true source of beauty, which, due
to its composition, is very refreshing for skin, gives it a
natural shade and a special elasticity. This is the
water source 11 Yuzya carbonate-calcium
magnesium with a mineralization of about 0.7 g/l,
contains a considerable amount of organic matter and
up to 40 mg / liter of free carbon dioxide, and
substances of glycerine origin.
 Source 4 C mineral water Soda - is a unique
type of alkaline mineral spring Borjomi originally from
Shodnica. Mineral water in its composition carbonate,
bicarbonate, sodium, high salinity (8-11 g/l), neutral, and
cold. It includes a therapeutic concentration of fluorine,
boron, and hydrogen carbonate 1, 4-3, 8 g/l. Soda mineral
water is a natural antacid, reduces gastric acidity, and
normalizes liver, gallbladder and biliary tract. This mineral
water wins one of the main places in the prevention of
oxalate, urate and cystine nephrolithiasis (stone formation)
and the treatment of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
 In our pump room, you can take mineral water
Morshinskaya, which is made from brine by the pump-
room method of the famous Morshin resort. Drinking
this water will perfectly complement and enrich the
drinking water treatment in Truskavets, because water
is rich in potassium and magnesium ions and in
contrast to the source Maria and Sophia, has a
relatively low content of sodium chloride. Water is
recommended for gastroduodenitis with high acid-
forming function of the stomach, gastric ulcer and
duodenal ulcer, chronic pancreatitis, is effective for
constipation and functional disorders of the intestines.
