Why drink distilled water?!


Question: on a diet?


Answers: on a diet?

there are no calories in water so distilled water would not make a difference if you are trying to lose weight it just removes the minerals the naturally are in water

The drinking of purified water has been both advocated and discouraged for health reasons. Purified water lacks minerals and ions, such as calcium, which are normally found in potable (drinking) water, and which have important biological functions such as in nervous system homeostasis. Some percentage of our daily consumption of these minerals and ions come from our drinking water. The lack of naturally-occurring minerals in distilled water has raised some concerns. The Journal of General Internal Medicine[2] published a study on the mineral contents of different waters available in the US. The study concluded, "drinking water sources available to North Americans may contain high levels of Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium and may provide clinically important portions of the recommended dietary intake of these minerals," and further encouraged individuals to "check the mineral content of their drinking water, whether tap or bottled, and choose water most appropriate for their needs." Since distilled water is devoid of minerals, supplemental mineral intake through diet is needed to maintain proper health

you shouldn't drink distilled water drink the natural spring water

You should not drink distilled water. It will actually suck up water soluble vitamins and essential minerals and cause you to excrete them more than usual, possibly causing an electrolyte imbalance in your body.

The people saying you shouldn't drink distilled water have no idea what they're talking about. They're just repeating the same old wive's tales without even considering the facts.

I drank distilled water for years with NO - count them - ZERO ill health effects. As for it wearing down your teeth or leaching out your vitamins/minerals? No cavities, and I'm perfectly healthy. I don't drink it anymore just because carbon filtered water is cheaper, but there's nothing wrong with drinking distilled. Go for it.
