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.

About the tributary of Dâmbovița
Not only representative buildings disappeared from Bucharest's landscape, but also small tributaries of Dâmboviţa, which were blocked by the expansion and modernization of the city. One of them is Bucharestioara, a stream that originated in today's Icoanei Garden and flowed into the Unirii Square area, one of Bucharest's oldest sources of drinking water at one time.

How does light affect water bottles?
"Store the bottle in a place protected from sunlight or frost" – you see such messages on almost all water bottles and bottles – and La Fântâna cans are, of course, no exception.

The problem turned out to be one of storage, at the customer. Many of these situations are related to the exposure of water cans in improper conditions.
The best-known example is the(...)

"Pure water" is not what you think
La Fântâna has built its business and reputation through water cooler and purifier services – impossible things without deep knowledge and understanding of water.
We open with this article a series of informative materials related to drinking water. Water, the most important catalyst of life, seems, for most of us, something trivial and normal: "simple as water". Nowadays, in the era of consumer economy, intensive exploitation of land, and pollution, this is not the case at all. To bring this information to the public, we turned to the experience of the "water teacher", biochemist Silvia Enculescu.
Physico-chemically, "pure water" does not exist(...)

Minerals in water and their benefits
Mineral water, carbonated or still, comes from underground and has a characteristic and constant composition over time. In perhaps the shortest possible definition, mineral water is microbiologically pure water originating from a groundwater or underground aquifer deposit and coming from a source exploited by one or more natural emergencies or boreholes, protected naturally and by strict areas.
We, Romanians, have been making a semantic confusion for a long time – we tend to call "mineral(...)

Let's learn about water
Water is all around us. We drink it, wash things with it, turn it into ice and put it in our juice in summer, swim in it, watch it fall from the sky in various forms, and so on. Water is indispensable to life – the fact that we could not live without it is already a truism. And although we use it so often, there's so much information about water that we don't know.
Let's first recap what we all know about water: It is an odorless, tasteless, and colorless liquid found in nature in liquid, solid, and gaseous(...)
