We all like to eat well. We\u2019re also careful to eat healthily.<\/span><\/p>\n

But have you ever thought about the major role that water plays in our diet? There is water and there is perfect water, because not all water is the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the perfect recipe for water?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>You will find it here.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first important thing is that water should be\u00a0natural.<\/strong> Not man made, not purified, not enhanced, but all natural and sourced from the Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also important that it should come from a single source, a source that is verified and pure. Not from multiple sources, not blended, which means you can\u2019t verify it.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are other major factors that go towards making the perfect water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the most important ones:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pure, no harmful chemicals<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

First of all, you want to drink pure water; you don\u2019t want to drink fertilizers. Could that be possible in a bottled water? Yes, unfortunately, it might happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t talk about them, they\u2019re tasteless, odorless, they\u2019re not listed on the label, but even so, they\u2019re still present in water. What are they? Nitrates.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chemical compounds used in agriculture, good for plants, but harmful to humans,\u00a0nitrates\u00a0are found in groundwater and aquifers. They exist in nature and they are used in agriculture. It is from their large-scale agricultural use that nitrates come to pollute aquifers, meaning that they end up in BOTTLED WATER.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are tasteless, colorless and odorless. And no, they\u2019re not usually listed on the label.<\/span><\/p>\n

NITRATES are heavy oxidants. They are undesirable substances, harmful to human health.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The ingestion of a large quantity of nitrates may have serious consequences<\/a>, including high blood pressure, thyroid and circulation problems, severe headaches, hives, blood poisoning, severe cyanosis, and, in the long term, even some types of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Infants are at greater risk than adults. In particular, infants less than six months old can become seriously ill if exposed to nitrates.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many European countries, the legislation demands that\u00a0the maximum nitrate limit in water for infants should be less than <\/strong>2.27 mg per liter of NO3-N<\/strong><\/a>, while the adult limit is 11.3 mg per liter.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the U.S. there is no specific regulation regarding nitrates and infants.\u00a0 <\/strong>There is a Maximum Contaminant Level Level of 10 mg\/L of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N)<\/strong><\/a> for all waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nitrates are harmful to babies, and they may also be harmful to pregnant women. There is\u00a0a proven correlation between birth defects and high nitrate levels in expecting mothers.\u00a0Researchers at Texas University have published a study that examines the relation between prenatal exposure to drinking-water nitrates and selected birth defects. They found that higher water nitrate intake was associated with several birth defects. The conclusion was that\u00a0expecting and breastfeeding mothers should avoid drinking water with Nitrate levels greater than 2.27 mg of NO3-N per liter. For further reading,\u00a0this is a link to the study.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Mineral Water and Natural Spring Water are both NITRATE-free, perfectly pure and perfectly safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Comparison[1]\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Less Sodium<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Most mineral waters contain sodium to a greater or lesser degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ideal water should be sodium-free.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we know, salt, or sodium chloride, is a mineral essential for the body, but only in limited quantities, because otherwise there are certain risks, such as cardiovascular disease. Our modern diet contains alarming quantities of sodium, and so limiting the intake is essential for a healthy lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors recommend that people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease should consume water with a\u00a0content of sodium below 20mg\/l.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Mineral Water has less than 5.3 m of sodium per liter, which, according to FDA regulations<\/a>, means we can state \u201cSodium-free\u201d on our label.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Spring Water is Sodium-free!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally Sparkling Mineral Waters<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are naturally sparkling mineral waters and then there are artificially carbonated waters.\u00a0While natural mineral waters are healthy, artificially carbonated waters can hurt your stomach.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does this work?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally sparkling waters occur in selected mineral springs and naturally contain calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) in naturally sparkling water Water stimulates digestion<\/a> and metabolism and gives a pleasant taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

The high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in naturally sparkling water produces a higher concentration of bicarbonate, creating health benefits such as improved digestion, prevention of kidney stones, and neutralization of the lactic acid produced during physical exertion.<\/span><\/p>\n

ARTIFICIALLY carbonated water contains no natural bicarbonates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artificially added CO2<\/sub>\u00a0creates harsh conditions throughout the digestive system and actually increases the release of gastric acidity, ultimately leading to high blood pressure, ulcers, pressure on the diaphragm, and more. In addition, artificial CO2<\/sub>\u00a0gives a bitter, sour, unpleasant taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Mineral Water is naturally sparkling at source, rather than enhanced, and it is one of the best sparkling mineral waters you can find anywhere in the world, since it is also exceptionally pure!<\/span><\/p>\n

Minerals\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

More Calcium<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is natural water and then there is purified water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural mineral or spring water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and is unprocessed, untouched by technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purified water no longer contains anything, and so in effect it is dead.<\/a> Usually, it is just regular tap water, which has been purified.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calcium is the mineral most common in the body and its highest concentrations are found in the bones, teeth, tendons, and nails, but it is also present in cell nuclei. Besides magnesium, we need calcium because it regulates the heartbeat, helps the nervous system, being a remedy against insomnia, and is essential for transmission of nerve impulses.\u00a0Calcium is involved in multiple essential metabolic processes, such as blood coagulation, regulating the permeability of cellular membranes, limiting allergic processes, stimulating gastric secretion, metabolizing iron, efficient use of vitamin B12, and hormone release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the diseases caused by the calcium deficiency are rickets, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, muscular spasms, light-headedness, weakness, insomnia, and irritability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors recommend a daily calcium intake between 800 and 1200 mg<\/a> for adults, derived from both food (dairy products, soy, tofu, hazelnuts, walnuts, broccoli, sardines, salmon) and natural sparkling waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Mineral Sparkling Water<\/strong> is rich in calcium content: one liter provides 24% of an adult\u2019s recommended daily intake<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Spring Water<\/strong> contains 44.9 mg of calcium<\/strong> per liter, just enough for your daily calcium intake if you drink about two liters of water daily.<\/span><\/p>\n

More Magnesium<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Magnesium is essential for your health. It helps maintain both physical and psychological wellbeing because it plays an important role in metabolic processes such as the production of energy, acid and protein synthesis, muscle relaxation, prevention of diabetes and kidney stones, and metabolism regulation.\u00a0Magnesium plays an important role in metabolizing Vitamin C and adjusting body temperature, but it is also a general regenerating factor since it delays ageing and strengthens the immune system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magnesium deficiency causes headaches, trembling, dizziness, insomnia, spasms, numbness and cramps, aching bones, allergies, decreased immunity, and general malaise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cardiac system is also affected by magnesium deficiency, as the mineral is essential for regulating the heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your required magnesium intake can be supplemented by a sparkling mineral water rich in magnesium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors recommend adults should have a daily amount of magnesium between 300 and 320 mg<\/a>, derived from both food (cabbage, beet, plums, pumpkin seeds, bananas) and the natural mineral water.<\/span><\/p>\n

One liter of AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Mineral Water provides you with 16% of the daily intake of magnesium recommended for adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great, smooth taste, no aftertaste<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Because they are rich in minerals, if the balance is not ideal, mineral waters can be sweet or salty, sour or bitter, or just clean and pure, with a beautiful taste and no aftertaste.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more calcium, the sweeter a water will be, the more magnesium, the bitterer it will be, the more sodium, the saltier it will be, while artificially carbonated water is sour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just the right amount of each ingredient will give an excellent taste, with no unpleasant aftertaste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try AQUA Carpatica!<\/strong> The first thing that will strike you is its beautiful taste. It is quite simply clean, and wonderfully pleasant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still Water with a Natural pH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The term\u00a0alkaline water\u00a0refers to the\u00a0pH\u00a0of the\u00a0water.\u00a0The pH scale runs from zero to 14, with 7 as the neutral mid-point. Liquids with a pH of 1 are very acidic, and liquids with a pH of 13 are very alkaline.\u00a0Human blood has a pH of approximately 7.4 and therefore it is slightly alkaline. It is essential that our bodies maintain our pH within a narrow optimal range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, it seems like everybody is saying that alkaline water is best for your metabolism, and it\u2019s true. However, if water is artificially alkalinized (ionization using a process called electrolysis), it doesn\u2019t mean it will actually do the job of alkalizing your body.\u00a0The only thing that neutralizes acid is alkalinity,\u00a0not the fact that water is alkaline<\/em>. If water is alkaline, it doesn\u2019t mean it has substantial alkalinity.\u00a0There have to be\u00a0alkaline minerals<\/a> in the water to start with if it is going to achieve alkalinity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the use of an ionizer doesn\u2019t mean that your water is now better: the source remains an important part of water purity. Alkaline ionizers may even be unsafe, because they don\u2019t remove contaminants.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you want to choose an alkaline water that will actually work when it comes to neutralizing gastric acid, it should have a naturally alkaline pH,\u00a0provided by nature rather than by manmade devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Spring Water has a natural pH of 8.24.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"KeyBenefitys3\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Spring Water is a natural still water, untouched by humans, drawn from a pure spring deep in the Carpathian Mountains. It is nitrate-free, sodium-free. It has natural electrolytes, a beautiful taste and a very high pH: 8.2.<\/span><\/p>\n

AQUA Carpatica Natural Sparkling Water is naturally sparkling, rather than enhanced. It is untouched by humans, since it is drawn from a pure spring deep in Romania\u2019s Carpathian Mountains. It is nitrate-free, sodium-free. It has a high content of natural electrolytes, a beautiful, smooth taste, and no aftertaste.<\/span><\/p>\n
