Does distilled water leach minerals from the body? The answer is no. It is a mistaken belief that drinking pure distilled water reduces or draws out minerals from our tissues. There are two kinds of minerals - organic and inorganic. Of course we need minerals for good health, but our bodies have difficulty absorbing the inorganic minerals in tap water.
The presence of inorganic minerals in the body can lead to degenerative diseases such as hardening of the arteries, arthritis, kidney stones, gall stones, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and obesity.
Distilled water is water that has been turned into steam so its impurities are left behind. The steam is condensed to make pure water. In the process, the inorganic minerals are removed from tap water, and the result is remarkable biological mineral absorption for both health and maximum metabolic activity.
We get minerals from the food we eat. Plants have the ability to convert inorganic minerals absorbed from the soil and water into organic forms our bodies can use. Distilled water is easily absorbed by the body and washes away poisons generated by or accumulated in the body.
It is beneficial for people who are on low-sodium diets to drink distilled water as it has no sodium.
Why is a hot water bottle sometimes used to relieve pain? Heating an area on the surface of the body produces certain effects that can increase comfort and the rate of healing. These effects are caused by the body's attempt to maintain a constant temperature.
