High in Minerals and Naturally Alkaline

High in Minerals

It is a fact that no two bottled waters are the same, as all waters have their own unique origin and terroir - a term regularly used for wine, coffee and tea, denoting the special characteristics that geography and the natural environment impart upon particular varieties.

The same applies to water. The quality of the source, rock and environment the water is sourced from is of the essence. Unlike wine, water in a bottle doesn't improve as it gets older, however, water that has been confined in a protected underground source for thousands of years has had more time to absorb minerals and has been protected from industrial pollution.

In the case of Mount Warning Spring Water, the volcanic landscape of the world's largest extinct shield-rim volcano has naturally filtered impurities and added high levels of valuable minerals such as calcium (39mg/l) and magnesium (18mg/l).

Calcium is notoriously difficult to absorb and depends on magnesium for assimilation. The 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium is optimum for assimilation when consumed, reinforcing the water's purity and contribution to good health.

Studies have also shown that calcium absorption is assisted by optimum pH balance. Mount Warning Spring Water's alkaline pH 7.5 maximises the body's calcium absorption rates.

Alkaline
World-wide, the number of health practitioners warning us of the detrimental effects of our modern-day diets and lifestyles is growing. The foods we eat, the water we drink and the 21st century stresses and pollutants we are subjected to cause our body's natural pH balance to become unbalanced and acidic. For our body to remain healthy, it is important to have a slightly neutral pH which is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Anything under 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral and anything over 7 is alkaline.

Our body continuously works to restore its pH balance, but our highly acidic diet keeps it an uphill battle with many bodies in a constant state of acidity. This leaves us at high risk of disease, as nearly all disease processes are associated with an acidic state of blood. Simply put, an acidic body is a 'magnet' for sickness and ageing.

Health practitioners advise that balancing the body's pH level is the first step towards well-being and greater health. One of the best ways to do this is by drinking alkaline water. It is considered to be the most effective way to neutralise acids and remove toxins from the body.

Our bodies are approximately 60% water and our blood is approximately 83% water. If we follow the recommendation to drink at least two litres of water per day and this water is acidic and polluted, imagine what this will do to our bodies?! With tap water and the majority of bottled waters highly acidic, naturally alkaline* and mineral rich Mount Warning Spring Water (pH 7.5) offers the health-conscious consumer a superior choice.

You are not just what you eat; you are what you drink.
