Most of you probably know that water is an essential part of the human body and its importance to it is vital. Water lost through the urinary system and even through respiration must be restored so that our body can be in good physical condition.
When we lose about 2.5% of our weight at the expense of water, our body loses 25% of its efficiency. In order to be active we need to drink enough water.
How much water should we drink per day?
To restore water balance, we must take at least 30 ml of water per kilogram of body weight daily. For example, if you weigh 45 kilograms, you should take 0. 30 * 45 = 1. 350 liters per day.
On hot summer days, doctors recommend drinking at least one more glass above this amount.
How do I choose what water to drink and what do I need to know about it?
The purest, healthiest and most natural drink that comes directly from nature is water. It best quenches thirst without being burdened with calories, colors or preservatives. That is why we are increasingly reaching for bottled water, believing that all waters are the same and there is just "water" inside, which is far from the case.
Water mineralization is extremely important. Few people know the consequences of highly mineralized water and the recommended amounts of fluoride for consumption.
Increased fluoride intake (at concentrations in drinking water above 1.5 mg / l) in infants and children up to 7 years of age leads to an increased risk of developing dental fluorosis, which is characterized by the appearance of yellow-brown staining of the teeth, disruption of the enamel structure and increase of their fragility.
The intake of even larger amounts of fluoride (at concentrations in drinking water above 6-10 mg / l) creates an increased risk of developing bone fluorosis in children and adults, in which the structure of the bone substance is disturbed and the bones also become more -fragile.

Why Mineral Water Can Be Dangerous
It is a common practice for Bulgarian consumers to buy bottled mineral water from stores. There are several reasons for this. First of all, people do not trust the quality of drinking water that flows from domestic taps. Others believe that consuming mineral water is good for health, and others - others do it just out of habit.
Table, Mineral And Spring Water! Which Is What?
In Bulgaria, three types of water are freely sold in stores - table water, mineral water and spring water. Many of us do not pay attention to what exactly we buy. In the West, for example, spring water is increasingly sought after because it has a different effect on health than the other two species.
Exactly How Much Mineral Water Should We Drink
The benefits of mineral water are numerous, but as with most gifts of nature, we should not overdo it. It has the strongest effect on the human body when we drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. The best, although impossible for many, is to drink it directly from the source.
Drink Tap Water Instead Of Mineral Water
According to recent studies tap water is the better choice for drinking - it is preferable to mineralized. Pediatricians even recommend it for young children. In their opinion, a bottle of tap water from home is the better solution for students, instead of giving them money for water with a high mineral content.
They Prepare Tarator On The Black Sea Coast Only With Mineral Water
The big restaurants on the native Black Sea coast prepare the traditional tarator only with mineral water because of the danger of infections after the floods in Varna and Dobrich. Many restaurants in Sunny Beach, Varna, Sozopol and Golden Sands have started preparing summer soup with mineral water instead of tap water to avoid the risk of infection.
