Reverse Osmosis water (ro) is pure and clean, scientifically speaking, it’s almost as pure and clean as Distilled Water, which means to the average person, both types of water are essentially equivalent to each other. So why ruin something so clean and pure? Why Would you want to add minerals to a water that’s completely clean and pure?
Several reasons, it turns out. And we’re writing this article thinking you already know about Adding Minerals to Reverse Osmosis Water so we’ll just concentrate on why you have to do it. Actually, let us be clear, you don’t have to do it if you’re a healthy person. If you’re not at the top of your game, you may want to consider adding it to your water.
Let’s talk about what reverse osmosis and distilled water are. They are types of water so pure, that everything has been removed from them. You cannot notice this when you shower or turn on the faucet but normal water that comes into your home has many impurities in it that are obviously invisible to the naked eye. A common impurity found in many parts of the world is calcium. After many times in the shower, you’ll notice in the shower head white residue forming to the point that if you don’t clean it, water has a difficult time coming out from it. Imagine that having to go through your kidneys! Not a good scene to look at…
But, when you have a super high level of water filtration, like Reverse Osmosis and Distilled water, everything is gone from the water. And that leaves us with a small problem. What if you’re a person with a compromised immune system or what if you’re drinking nothing but water as part of your fasting diet, can you still drink pure water? Well, the issue is that, since you’re not consuming enough foods to give you all the minerals that you need (which is the way normal people get all of their minerals and nutrients), then drinking a liquid that also has no nutrients and minerals can leave you severely malnourished.
So, that’s why you would need to add minerals into your water. Because all the good stuff has been removed through these two specific types of water filtration systems and you’re not getting the normal nutrients you would get through foods, like a normal person would, then you’re having to add all the good stuff back into the water.
There are also a couple more reasons why you would want to add minerals to water, for instance, if you’re an athlete and want to avoid drinking those high sodium, high sugar, power drinks, then maybe you want to make your own drink. Another example might be just taste; maybe you simply don’t like the taste of clean water after growing up with water that has high minerals (and other impurities).
Luckily, adding minerals to RO water is easy. Pour some water into a gallon container and drop a few drops to enjoy your mineralized water.
