The Power of Water
We are what we drink
For us, water is a vital source of energy for our body. The water we decide to drink is not just to quench our thirst, it is like choosing a powerful ally for the proper functioning of our body.
Choosing water that is free from impurities and rich in benefits is like giving your body a health boost. Each sip helps with digestion, maintains balance and provides all the minerals our body needs.
70% of our body is made up of water
Every time we drink water, we are making a conscious choice for the well-being of our body. As our body is made up of around 70% water, it plays a vital role in various bodily functions, such as regulating temperature, transporting nutrients, lubricating joints and metabolic processes.
Maintaining adequate hydration is essential for the health and proper functioning of our body.
Why choose low-mineralized water?
Water mineralization is linked to the presence and concentration of dissolved minerals, varying according to the source. Waters with low mineralization offer a light taste sensation, being easily absorbed by the body to maintain water balance. This option is beneficial for the kidneys, reducing the load during filtration.
Choosing water with low mineral content makes it easier to eliminate toxins, allowing the water to transport nutrients and remove waste efficiently.
It is essential to find water that suits individual preferences and needs. For pregnant women, newborns and babies, water with very little mineralization, with a low sodium and nitrate content, is recommended, both for hydration and for preparing food.
For people with kidney problems or high blood pressure, choosing low-mineralized water is crucial, as it has a diuretic effect.
Zero nitrate water
Nitrates are chemicals that can be found in groundwater and surface water, often coming from agricultural activities, organic waste and fertilizers.
When we drink water with high levels of nitrates, there is a risk of these compounds being converted into nitrites in the body. Nitrites can react with other substances in the body to form nitroso compounds, some of which are known to be potentially carcinogenic.
One thing we are proud of is having the purest and most crystal clear water, originating in the interior of the Serra da Estrela, in the magnificent Glacier Valley. An untouched place where there is no human activity, be it industry, agriculture or pollution . This allows us to obtain the purest water, free of nitrates and whose properties give Glacier its incredible composition.
Therefore, when we choose water with zero nitrates, we are taking a preventive measure to reduce the health risks associated with this substance, ensuring safe and healthy hydration.
