Benefits of Mineral water over tap water?

What about adding in another....Disstilled water, which can be caught using a container when it rains or via a disstilling machine or you can buy it now off the shelf. This is water in it's purest form!!!

Seriously? Too many to list. Water is, whether you notice or not, a staple of everyday life; not just in the sense that we drink it, but we use it for everything. Water is, first and foremost, the main ingredient in every non-alcoholic drink known to man. As for tap water, it's used for bathing, washing clothes, cars, pets and other objects and for providing water for sprinkler systems which keep our plants alive. As for recreation, people can entertain themselves in almost any sort of body of water; beaches, lakes water parks and even puddles can serve as the basis for a number of recreational activities. In factories and industrial settings, water is used to power the steam engines that run in some plants, as well as cool off the combustion engines used in high-grade machinery and cars. Water is even used in nuclear reactors as a way of forming the high-pressure steam needed to move the turbines in the reactors. And don't forget hydroelectric power.

You are either drinking water  with more calcium at some times or it's in the food you are eating.  In places there is more calcium in country deep wells than in city water wells which filter such things as lime deposits.

Both have benefits!! Showers are cleaner. Baths can do more to relax muscles. Both unless you have a good filter are really not the healthiest--proved--Our water has things in it  (and pipes that hold the water)that are poison to the body (not deadly but not good). And time adds to these poisons. Showers are easy to get into and quicker. With baths you can add so much-Salts, Bubbles,Oils,-Nice. Both can be enjoyed with others (keep it clean-gang). Both you can hide in (play, storm ). I would hate to choose-love them both.

What benefit are you talking about? Your body will be flushing out toxins, so you will get healthier, but that isn't a benefit you can see. Drinking more water will make your skin healthy and soft, which should be noticeable in two-weeks. You will start to lose a few pounds in a month.

Hard Water--\nHard water is water that has a high mineral content (water with a low mineral content is known as soft water). This content usually consists of high levels of metal ions, mainly calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the form of carbonates, but may include several other metals as well as bicarbonates and sulfates. While it is not generally dangerous to safety or health, it does generally cause potentially costly nuisance problems in the home and in industry. On the other hand, hard water is considered to be ideal for brewing certain styles of beer. Kentucky's distinctive Bourbon whiskey owes its flavor in part to the high calcium content of its groundwater (compared to the pilsener style of beer, the brewing of which requires very soft water). Some hard water chemicals, particularly silicates and calcium carbonate, are also effective corrosion inhibitors, and can prevent damage to pipes or contamination by potentially toxic corrosion products.\n\nThe simplest way to determine if water is hard or soft is the lather/froth test. If the water is very soft, soap will tend to lather up easily when agitated, whereas with hard water it will not. Toothpaste will also not froth well in hard water. More exact methods of hardness detection use a wet titration method to determine hardness

No, because there are no ions in there.  Add some metals, or salt, or acid/base, and then it will.  In tap water, there are those, so tap water does conduct electricity.

Sodium makes you gain water weight, not water.  Water actually flushes away water weight.  Drinking cold water can help you burn calories, because it takes calories to bring the water up to your body temp, but green tea has antioxidants that help flush away impurities in your body.  I would use both.

Although it might seem convenient to make up formula from warm tap water, this is not safe according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Compared with cold tap water, warm water is far more likely to carry lead that has leached out from the plumbing. Lead levels in drinking water tend to be highest in homes built before 1930 with lead pipes; homes less than 5 years old with copper pipes and lead solder, and homes with brass faucets or fittings.

Distilled is better than tap water but you decide which is available to you. Spring water is mostly hype. You can also add it to your favorite strong juicee. I always add cinnamon for taste and the antioxidant effects of cinnamon. Make sure to take raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar as it is the real thing. \n\nApple Cider Vinegar is my primary supplement.

Yes - higher and lower pH's and different mineral contents affect plants. The safest bet would be to get the plant in the right conditions, and then water with the purest water available, preferably distilled.

I think it is one of the better systems.  Anything that can keep bacteria out and is indisctructable (SP?) is worth getting.  Unless there is a hot babe next to you hydrating you, there is probably nothing better.

Yes you are still getting your daily water intake, Crystal Light or no. U can eat fruit & that still contributes to your water intake...not by much but it still has water IN it u know? Its OK to dilute with Crystal Light but too much of the artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can be a nuisance to your health, particularly your lower region (colon, etc). I dont like lemons in my water either so I drink my water ICE cold otherwise I wont drink it either, although they say that water closer to room temp is better because your body absorbs it faster. Actually I bought this big 72-oz cute plastic container from Walmart for like $2. I use that as my goal. If I drink at least 1/2 of that a day I feel better. It makes a difference drinking more water. LIke you, I was an avid soda person too but I notice that when I drink water I feel better physically. Not as tired, clears your face up, it regulates your 'movements' if you will, its beneficial in many ways. Try drinking it cold. Oh yeah, if you have a Sams Club/Costco where you live, buy a case of bottled water. I kept a case in my trunk during the winter months & it would be ice cold by the time I got one. When I am at work & dont have my little plastic container, I try to challenge myself to drink at least 2 bottles of water (0.5L or a pint) during my shift. I usually end up drinking like 3 1/2 though. Hope that helps!

Water from the tap has several ions in it.  Some are added by people (like fluorine) and some arent (like sodium).  Also, water from the tap has several impurities.  \n\nWhen water is distilled, it is purified.  This water is deionized (some people call it DI water).  The water is free of impurities.  Without impurities, chemical "tests" can be run very efficiently and effectively with water.

No way!!!  It is the only water I will drink. I don't want all the weird additives they put in "bottled" water.  I think the "it's bad" comes from the fact that distilled water has fewer salts and other trace things in it.  If you eat food every day, you don't need these minerals from water.  So drink away......

Drinking more water makes your skin look better.
