Question 1

is it possible that drinking a lot of sparkling mineral water can be causing my chronic nausea? there seems to be a direct link between me drinking it and the nausea increasing. why would this happen if so? thank you for your help?

Accepted Answer

: It is not likely that sparkling water is causing your nausea, but can definitely worsen it by increasing acidity and reflux. In order to sort it out switching to still water for few weeks may give you a better sense of what the effect of sparkling water was on your nausea.

Question 4

Mineral water: As long as you are not swelling and have no kidney problems I see no problem with drinking mineral water.  Drinking cold water is never a problem.

No difference: Mineral water from a spring is as good as bottled water.City water is much more controlled and hygienic than bottled water.

Question 7

is it okay that my baby is drinking a mineral water instead of distilled water? she's turning 3 years old this coming august. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any water source that you consider safe enough for you is safe enough for her.She can benefit from many of the minerals. I don't use distilled water for my babies, but understand that you want the best for your baby.

Question 8

hi goodevening! for my baby's drinking water, can i use mineral water instead of distilled water? thank you in advance and godbless.

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Mineral water may contain levels of sodium or other chemicals  that are difficult for young kidneys to deal with.  By 2 years of age, this is likely no longer a concern.  Distilled does not have any of those problems, but remember that the child requires fluoride supplementation.

Question 9

is distilled water the best available water to drink? i heard that it leaches out inorganic minerals & toxins that build up with everyday metabolism.

Accepted Answer

Not true: There are no particular health benefits to distilled water over regular water.  If you do an internet search you find sites that say distilled water is good for you, distilled water is bad for you.  I say it's neither, it's just distilled water.

Question 10

usually i am desperate to drink mineral water.  recently this craving has abruptly stopped.  what may this indicate?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: Tastes often change with age. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
