How much mineral water should I drink daily?

The ideal amount of mineral water depends on personal health goals and lifestyle. Most adults benefit from 1-2 L per day of mineral water to maintain vital levels of the minerals. This quantity will not be much short of a good fraction of the calcium and magnesium needs of the human body. It is essential to consume adequate mineral water regularly to reap the benefits you desire.

Your mineral needs will vary based on your diet and level of activity. Active people will require more magnesium for muscle function. Post menopause women need an increase in calcium. I find you can begin with one liter a day and adjust this according to how your body feels. Your water intake should also be related to your food requirements.

More important than occasional extreme amounts of water is to be consistent. If you drank two liters of water per week, you would not remain mineral-balanced. The body needs a daily and regular input of minerals, otherwise it cannot function properly. Consider keeping water bottles and containers visible and readily available as reminders to stay hydrated. A more regular pattern of intake ultimately improves your health by allowing for the proper replacement of minerals.

Tailor your intake to conditions. Increase during hot weather or strenuous exercise. Reduce when experiencing sensitivity to minerals. Combine mineral water with your food at the same time to encourage better nutrient absorption. Your ideal intake supports rather than overwhelms your system.
