The water is the most important body nutrient and it is involved in each of its functions, representing up to 60-65% of the body total mass. Water helps with the temperature maintenance, fat metabolism, the digestion process, and it also lubricates joints, carries nutrients and removes toxins.

Natural water and especially natural mineral water is a complex mixture of natural mineral salts and when choosing a clean and healthy water we have to consider several components: the type of water, source, minerals and the amount of minerals, nitrates or other harmful chemical substances, pH etc.

Finding the best water for you is getting more and more difficult

Not all waters are the same: most bottled water in our stores are not natural, but filtered and chemically purified, with artificial mineral or flavors added. Unlike any other water, natural mineral water is bottled at the source with no alterations of its composition, but just as nature gives it.

The minerals within are 100% percent natural, thus making them more easily absorbed and really boosting your health, ensuring fast and durable hydration.

The most important asset when choosing such a water is the fact that you know that nature already provided the most organic and efficient filtration of all: through decades of traveling through volcanic and deep mountain rock. Mineral water is extracted from miles under the ground, thus having no contact with the surface.

However, if the source is not located in a pristine, protected area, the water can still have traces of pollution, especially nitrates – chemical compounds used in agriculture. Good for plants, but harmful for people, nitrates are colorless, odorless and tasteless substances found in groundwater and aquifers situated under agricultural lands.

Once ingested through water or contaminated foods, the nitrates are turned into nitrites – much more toxic than the nitrates, after the contact with the stomach bacterial micro flora. The ingestion of a larger quantity than the one allowed can have the following consequences: high blood pressure, dysfunctions of the circulatory system and thyroid glands, cephalalgia, urticarias, intoxication, severe cyanosis, and in time even some types of cancer.

In this case, AQUA Carpatica is quite unique – being extracted from a very secluded forest in the Carpathian Mountains, having been naturally filtered by volcanic rocks and is pollution free – no traces of nitrates or any harmful components.

And that just still water!

With sparkling water, it’s even worse: did you know that most waters are not naturally sparkling, but they are still waters “enriched” with artificial CO2?

The differences between naturally sparkling and soda water are seen in your health: artificial CO2 has immediate effects on the body – high acidity and bloating, while natural CO2, added not by man, but by nature, helps digestion and stimulates the metabolism.

Sparkling mineral water is recommended in case of lack of calcium and magnesium and it is ideal to be intensively drunk for some time in order to naturally cover the deficiencies in the body. Calcium and magnesium are two minerals essential for health being involved in a lot of significant metabolic processes, and their amount in water need not be very large in order to avoid calcium deposits, the maximum limit allowed being 1500 mg of calcium per day from all sources. Also, most sparkling mineral waters have a high sodium content, so make sure you don’t add this to your daily intake of salt.

AQUA Carpatica natural sparkling mineral water is not only nitrate and sodium free, but also perfectly rich in natural minerals (electrolytes) and provides nearly 24% of Calcium and 16% Magnesium of an adult’s daily needs per liter.

For any kind of water you choose, either its still or sparkling, the healthy choice is always natural, organic mineral water, low on sodium and other minerals, slightly alkaline and most importantly naturally pure, nitrate free.

If you are into health, you are most likely to be an environmentalist too: make sure your bottles are BPA free and 100% recyclable.

AQUA Carpatica natural mineral water, with both types – still and sparkling – meet all of these important criteria and you can now find it exclusively in Sprouts Farmers Market all across USA.
