Driven by market trends, tradition, and satisfaction, people who drink water for pleasure, not just to quench thirst, fall into two main categories: fans of still water and sparkling water enthusiasts.
When it comes to sparkling water, we’ve noticed a significant increase in its consumer base over recent years. Though sparkling water has been around for over two centuries, its recent rise in popularity raises an intriguing question: why do we love sparkling water so much?What Is Sparkling Water?
Sparkling water naturally contains carbon dioxide or, more commonly, has carbon dioxide added after extraction.
It can be naturally sparkling, where water reaches the surface already infused with carbon dioxide, or carbonated artificially,by adding natural or food-grade CO₂ during an additional processing stage.
The reason Englishman Joseph Priestley invented carbonated water in 1767 wasn’t for enjoyment but for medical purposes. Diseases prevalent at the time motivated Priestley to create carbonated(...) -
Learn in the following article what a reverse osmosis filter is, when it is useful, and what other filtration systems you can choose from.
Water filtration systems relieve you of many concerns. Among the available water filtration systems available on the market, reverse osmosis systems are the most complex. But are they suitable for every household? Find out when reverse osmosis is useful and what other filtration systems are available to you.What is Reverse Osmosis?
As the name suggests, reverse osmosis is the inverse process of osmosis. Therefore, to understand what this concept means, we must first clarify what osmosis actually is.
Osmosis
The term "osmosis" originates from Greek and means "to push." Osmosis is a biophysical process that involves the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable(...)

What are the health benefits of water?Specialists have long recommended it, and this is no longer news — to keep our bodies in optimal condition, we need to consume plenty of fluids, primarily water. But have you ever wondered why this specific amount and what major benefits water consumption offers to the body?
What is the recommended daily water intake?
The recommended two liters of water per day is actually a convention — an average amount that researchers have determined by calculating various bodily needs and benefits. For instance, drinking two liters of water daily helps us burn an additional 96 calories compared to what we typically burn in a normal day.
Water consumption, beyond fulfilling the natural need for thirst, has multiple benefits for the body. Adopting consistent water consumption habits can have specific, targeted effects, from weight loss to skin hydration.Preventing Premature Skin Aging
Regular water consumption, without claiming to be any kind of "elixir of youth,"(...)

"Pure Water" Is Not What You Think
This article marks the beginning of a series of informative materials about drinking water. Water, the most important catalyst for life, often seems simple and ordinary to most of us: "as simple as water." In today's world, with consumer-driven economies, intensive soil exploitation, and pollution, it is far from simple. To bring these insights to the public, we have drawn upon the expertise of "the water prof," biochemist Silvia Enculescu.
From a physical and chemical standpoint, "pure water" does not naturally exist. Scientifically, it is produced only at the end of specific physico-chemical processes in laboratories—and is used exclusively for preparing reagents and culture media. Legally, this type of water is prohibited for human consumption.
Equally important, what is found in drinking water is not referred to as impurities but as its "chemical composition," defined by 45 physico-chemical parameters mandated by law. For water to be drinkable, these(...) -
We don't usually tend to take the need to drink enough water too seriously daily. After all, we always have drinking water available - if you get thirsty, you drink, if not, no, right...?
Well, not really.
Or scientists, at least, would disagree with you. Proper hydration helps intestinal transit, keeps body temperature stable, prevents kidney stones, and, in general, keeps your health and mood in the right parameters. Advertisements on TV with "drink a minimum of 2 L of water per day" seem to be in the public interest after all, don't they?
But summer is a slightly more difficult season to stay hydrated. I don't think we need to explain too much why (hint: it's about sweating water ;)). Even if we inform ourselves and realize the need to drink enough water, it is often difficult to simply remember.
We come to your aid with the following few methods to help you consume enough water:1. Use your alarm or an app
As I said, we need to drink water more often than we get thirsty. But it's not(...)

Find out what water pH is and why it's important
You've probably heard about the pH level of water being an important indicator of quality, but since you've come to this article, you're probably not entirely clear about its meaning. So:
What is the normal pH of water?
In short, pH stands for "hydrogen potential" and expresses the acidity or basicity of a substance on a scale from 0 to 14. Therefore, the ideal and good pH for health would be at 7, the completely neutral value. The lower the pH of 7, the more acidic the water will be. Conversely, the higher the pH, the more basic (or alkaline) the water. In approximate values, neutral waters fall somewhere between pH 6.8 and 7.2.
What should also be mentioned is that this scale runs logarithmically and not linearly. Thus, a Ph of 9 would be 10 times more alkaline than an 8. And a pH of 10, 100 times more alkaline than the same pH of 8, and so on.Carbonated water and still water
Carbonated mineral waters, for example, have an acidic character(...)

Specialists have been recommending it for a long time, and this is no longer a novelty – to keep our body in shape we need to consume plenty of fluids - mainly water. But have you wondered why this amount and what major benefits drinking water has on the body?
What is the recommended amount of water for daily consumption?
The recommended two liters of water are a convention – an average amount that researchers arrived at by calculating the body's various needs and benefits. For example, drinking two liters of water a day helps us burn 96 calories more than we consume on average in a normal day.
Water consumption, beyond satisfying the natural need – thirst – has multiple benefits for the body, and introducing water consumption habits can have effects, "targeted" to a specific goal, from losing weight to moisturizing the skin.
Prevention of premature skin aging
Water consumed regularly, without claiming any "elixir of youth", is the most important in hydrating the skin. That's because(...)

We will not repeat here what everyone knows – water is the driving force of life, including our own, and without it, we could not live. What you may not know is that with a little thought out and a few tricks, drinking water can do you better than satisfying your need for hydration. But let's take them one at a time.
The benefits of drinking water - what do you get out of this phase?
Well, it comes out with all the important things of life, and that's based on one thing: water causes blood to carry cells and nutrients to organs in the body—primarily to the brain. By maintaining the right level of hydration, you help your brain tell your whole body what to do and how to act. And this is not done by drinking only when you feel thirsty. Enough water in the body equals a well-oiled brain equals a properly functioning body, from digestion to locomotion and breathing – the thought bash!
How much water should you drink daily?
The correct answer is the one you probably already know from TV stations(...)

Does water help the body?Although this aspect is quite intuitive, water is not only extremely important for the human body – it is vital. Even we are composed of 60-70% water, and all the food we eat contains water. What do you mean? Only fruits and vegetables contain 90% water, and other foods that we usually pass to the dry food category, such as bread or meat, contain about the same amount of water as that which exists in the composition of the human body. So we can say that we are surrounded by water.
Beyond all these universally known facts, why is water so important to us? What exactly does it help us? Stay with us a little longer and you'll find out.
The importance of water
Just as we need air to live, we need water in the same way. In addition to helping transport important nutrients throughout our bodies, another role of water is to remove toxins from the body. It is enough to lose 10% of the water in our body so that blood can no longer circulate normally, with adverse consequences(...)
