The health benefits of mineral water benefit
both the body and mind alike. And the best thing is you can make mineral water
right inside your home. But do you know how to make mineral water? If not, read
through the below post.
5 Step Guide To How To Make Mineral
Water At Home
It is important for you to understand that
mineral water is different from filtered water. While filtered water is just
free of dirt and bacteria, mineral water is pure and rich in life supporting
minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. People might contradict
that it is practically not possible to afford expensive cans of mineral water
on a daily basis. And practically, this is a valid contradiction too. However,
mineral water can be prepared in your home itself. And these 5 simple steps
will show you how!
1. Filter Tap Water
Filtering tap water is the first step to
making mineral water at home. You can use your regular water purifier for this
purpose. Take around 1 or 2 litres of tap water in a jar and transfer it to
your water filter. Let the water get completely filtered. Once the water is
purified, you need to transfer it into an open vessel. Make sure that the
vessel is clean and free of any smell/odor.
2. Add Baking Soda
The next step to making mineral water at home
is adding baking soda to the purified water. Add around 1/8thteaspoon
of baking soda to 1 liter of purified water. Increase the amount to 1/4th of
a teaspoon for 2 liters of purified water. Baking soda/sodium bicarbonate
essentially adds sodium to water. This mineral cures certain health conditions
like indigestion, constipation, bloating, heartburn and even arthritis. This is
the first step of converting filtered water to mineral water.
3. Add Epsom Salt
Once you add baking soda to purified water,
add about 1/8th teaspoon of Epsom salt to 1 liter of
filtered water treated with baking soda. Epsom Salt works like a disinfectant
and keeps humans safe from bacterial attacks. Thus, it largely increases the
purity of the already filtered water.
4. Add Potassium Bicarbonate
The next step is to add potassium bicarbonate
to the purified water that is treated with sodium bicarbonate and Epsom salt.
Potassium bicarbonate maintains the blood pressure in humans. It is
an essential mineral that maintains cardiac health and lessens the risk of
heart attacks largely. Add around 1/8th teaspoon of potassium
bicarbonate to the treated purified water to make mineral water.
5. Mix Well
It is important that the ingredients added to
the purified water be mixed well. You can use a soda siphon for the purpose of
blending all the minerals well in purified water. Soda siphon is a gadget that
is extensively used to disperse carbonated drinks. It comes with a cartridge
and handle. Attach the cartridge with the siphon. Pass the water you made
through the handle. Squeeze the handle as you pass water through it. Completely
purified mineral water is what you get from the other end of the siphon.
The above listed 5 steps are the simplest
means that help you how to make homemade mineral water. It is rich in sodium
and potassium.
