Mineral water is natural water that comes from mineral springs, containing various minerals and trace elements that can have health benefits. It is typically rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonate, which contribute to its distinct taste and therapeutic qualities. Unlike tap water, mineral water is often unprocessed and maintains its natural purity and composition. It is categorized into two main types: still (non-carbonated) and sparkling (carbonated), depending on the presence of carbon dioxide gases naturally occurring in the spring. Many people choose mineral water for hydration, as it can aid in digestion, improve mineral intake, and enhance overall health. Bottled mineral water is widely available and is popular for both everyday consumption and as a refreshing beverage option. Its unique properties and flavors make it a favored choice among health-conscious consumers and those seeking alternatives to sugary drinks.
