Many people who want to reduce water treatment costs ask about the technique of distilling and enriching water in a shale. We at Skym think that this is a bad solution, very expensive, requires a lot of work and has quite a few health disadvantages.
The dangers of using distilled water as drinking water
What is the distillation process:
Distillation is a process in which water is heated to its boiling point to turn it into steam. The steam is then cooled and condensed back into water. This process removes dissolved substances, minerals, and heavy metals, creating chemically "pure" water .
The reported benefits of distilled water
Proponents of the use of distilled water, such as Rabbi Yuval Asherov and Ran, advocate drinking distilled water because of its "cleanliness" and lack of contaminants. It is claimed that it can help cleanse the body of toxins, especially when used as part of cleansing treatments .
The dangers of long-term use
Despite the possible short-term benefits, there are many disadvantages to using distilled water as drinking water.
Daily :
Deficiency of essential minerals : Distilled water is completely devoid of natural minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which are necessary for healthy bones, muscles, and the heart. Drinking distilled water for a long time may
Cause mineral deficiencies in the body .
Increased acidity : Distilled water is acidic. (pH Below 7). Prolonged consumption of acidic water may disrupt the acid-base balance in the body and lead to health problems, such as erosion of tooth enamel .
Electrolyte removal : Distilled water, due to its purity, tends to "suck" essential electrolytes and minerals from the body during urination. Studies have shown that drinking such water for a long time can cause the loss of critical salts in the body .
Lack of taste and pleasantness : Without the minerals, distilled water has a flat, empty taste, making it feel
Less natural and less satisfying .
Studies and experts
Studies from around the world warn against drinking distilled water long-term :
- Research by the World Health Organization (WHO): WHO report From 2004, it states that demineralized water is not recommended for daily drinking, and that it can harm metabolism and cause a deficiency of essential minerals in the body .
Dr. Gerald Pollack: Water structure expert explains that distilled water is not "alive" and does not support the molecular structure necessary for biological activity in the human body
