the explanation behind the benefits of water

Calcium keeps your bones and teeth strong and helps control muscles movement, blood clotting and nerves. Around 99% of the calcium in your body is in your bones and teeth. If you don’t consume enough, your body will pull it from your bones, which could lead to osteoporosis.

Magnesium is vital to more than 300 biochemical reactions in your body. It helps your muscles and nerves, heartbeat, immune system and bone health. Research is also looking into magnesium’s role in hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Potassium plays an essential role in the function of all muscles in your body as well as your kidneys. It also helps to metabolize protein, fat and carbs.

Sodium is needed in your body to regulate blood and fluids and to coordinate the contractions of the heart muscle. The body works hard to balance salt and water to keep everything functioning properly.

Sulfates are related to sulfuric acid. They help detoxify the liver and play a role in your gall bladder function. They’re absorbed into the body in very small quantities but are essential for digestion.
