What is contained in mineral water. Alkaline mineral carbonated and non-carbonated waters: composition, list, names

Medicinal table mineral water- mineral water intended for both regular drinking (not regular drinking) and medicinal purposes.

According to GOST R 54316-2011, water with mineralization from 1 to 10 g/l inclusive or with less mineralization if it contains biological active ingredients, the mass concentration of which is not less than those listed in the table below balneological standards. Regardless of the degree of mineralization, medicinal table mineral waters include mineral waters containing the following components:

Biologically active component	Component content, mg per 1 liter of water	Name of mineral water group
Free carbon dioxide (contained at source)	⩾ 500	carbonic acid
Iron	⩾ 10	glandular
Boron (in terms of orthoboric acid)	35,0–60,0	boric
Silicon (in terms of metasilicon acid)	⩾ 50	siliceous
Iodine	5,0–10,0	iodine
Organic matter (based on carbon)	5,0–15,0	containing organic matter

Mineral waters that are not medicinal and table waters

Mineral waters with mineralization less than 1 g/l are classified as table waters. Table waters can be recommended for regular drinking over a long period of time. Mineral waters with a mineralization of more than 10 g/l or in the presence of certain biologically active components are classified as medicinal mineral waters. Drinking medicinal mineral waters is recommended only after consultation with a specialist.

Medical uses of mineral waters

Mineral waters are indicated for:

gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophagitis
chronic gastritis with normal, low and high acidity
stomach and/or duodenal ulcers,

(beyond the acute stage), as well as for other diseases (see. List of medical indications for the use of mineral waters). For each type of mineral water, GOST R 54316-2011 establishes a list of medical indications, which is an excerpt from the mentioned List.

Before bottling, in order to preserve the chemical composition and medicinal properties, medicinal table mineral water is usually carbonated with carbon dioxide. However, before using for medicinal purposes, bottled water most often needs to be degassed (without applying excessive heat, which can change the chemical composition of the water). For therapeutic or long-term use For medicinal table mineral waters, specialist consultation is required.

Mixtures of natural medicinal table mineral waters (unnatural waters)

Sometimes during extraction and production, for one reason or another, two or more medicinal table mineral waters from different sources and/or different deposits are mixed. Sometimes such waters are called unnatural. They are not subject to GOST R 54316-2011. “Natural drinking mineral waters. Are common technical specifications" Based on their composition or the fact that they are a mixture of medicinal table waters, they are also positioned as medicinal table waters. Such waters, in particular, include:

chloride-bicarbonate sulfate sodium mineral water "

All the doctors and fitness instructors talk loudly and in unison about what you need to drink more water. In addition, it will be nice if it becomes a habit daily use mineral water.

If the body lacks fluid, it slows down metabolic processes, metabolic products are excreted worse. And this leads to a variety of nightmares ranging from flaky skin to severe digestive problems. A lack of fluid can even be the cause of edema - the cells “store” it. That's why general recommendations, especially relevant for those who want to deal with disordered eating, systematic overeating and overweight, are as follows: drink 30 grams of water per day per kilogram of body weight (but not more than 2 liters). There is a nuance: we're talking about specifically about water (juices, teas, broths, etc. for the body it is not drink, but food). The only problem is to choose what exactly to drink, since along with toxins and other garbage, the legendary “2 liters per day” flushes out of the body not at all unnecessary minerals. The logical solution is to drink mineral water, giving the body what it needs.

Salt to taste

Mineral water has the right to be called a liquid extracted from an officially registered underground source, with the original set of salts preserved. What kind of water is in the bottle should be written on the label. Look for the words "sediment at 180 degrees", "total salinity" or "total salinity" - they all mean the same thing.

Depending on how much chemical elements and other substances managed to be dissolved in water, it is declared medicinal (10-15 g of salts per liter, drunk only as prescribed by a doctor). You should not overuse medicinal waters - this can lead to the deposition of salts and other rather unpleasant consequences. Medicinal table mineral waters contain 1-10 g of salts per liter, are used for preventive purposes and for permanent use also not suitable.

IN table mineral water no more than 1 gram of salts per liter, it can be drunk at any time. And it would be nice if half of those “daily 2 liters” were just such water. You don’t have to worry too much about your choice and focus on your own taste - just drink the mineral water that you find especially pleasant. But if you intend to select a certain pool of mineral waters for constant use, for example, as part of a weight loss program or a maintenance course for any chronic disease, consultation with a specialist is necessary.

Classification of mineral waters according to the salts they contain:

Bicarbonate mineral water ("Arkhyz"). Recommended for people leading active image life, infants and patients with cystitis. Harmful for gastritis.
Sulphate mineral water ("Essentuki No. 20"). Recommended for liver problems; it has a mild laxative effect. Contraindicated in children and adolescents, since sulfates can interfere with calcium absorption, which means bone formation. For the same reason, women over 50 who are at risk of osteoparosis should not drink it.
Chloride mineral water ("Essentuki No. 4", "Aksu"). Regulates intestinal function biliary tract and liver. Harmful for high blood pressure.
Magnesium mineral water ("Narzan", "Erinskaya"). Helps with constipation and stress, not recommended for people prone to stomach upsets.
Fluoride mineral water ("Lazarevskaya", "Sochinskaya"). Recommended for pregnant women and people suffering from osteoporosis. Contraindicated for those who have fluoridated tap water at home.
Ferrous mineral water ("Martialnaya", "Polyustrovskaya"). Shown when iron deficiency anemia. Contraindicated in peptic ulcer.
Sour mineral water ("Shmakovskaya"). Recommended for low acidity gastric juice. Harmful for ulcers.
Sodium mineral water ("Smirnovskaya", "Narzan"). Helps with constipation and poor digestion, is not recommended for hypertensive patients and those prescribed a low-salt diet.
Calcium mineral water ("Smirnovskaya", "Slavyanovskaya"). Recommended for milk intolerance, pregnant women, children and adolescents. May reduce blood pressure. Strict contraindications does not have.

Most mineral waters contain a large range of salts and therefore belong to several classes at the same time. For example, “Smirnovskaya” is sodium-calcium, “Narzan” is sodium-magnesium, etc. By the way, there is no need to cook in a “mineral water”, even a dining room one - when boiling, the salts give sediment and can form compounds that are not absorbed by the body.

With or without bubbles?

Mineral water can be carbonated or without gas. If you are medical indications If you drink, for example, “Essentuki 17”, which can only be carbonated, you have no choice. If there are no such strict frameworks, decide for yourself - water “with bubbles” or without. First of all, the gas can be natural or artificially added. The second option seems dubious to gastroenterologists: the “non-native” gas can interfere with the absorption of mineral substances in the water itself. In addition, there is an opinion that in general any carbonated liquid contributes to the appearance of cellulite. By the way, it happens that gas from natural carbonated water naturally disappears. And before bottling it is again, artificially, added to the water. Taking into account all of the above, I would like to stick to water without gas - sin gas or eau naturelle.

If you still choose soda, keep in mind: firstly, no more than 2 glasses a day (otherwise the main effect of use will be a bloated belly). Secondly, when chronic gastritis With increased acidity and ulcers, drink mineral water quickly, almost in one gulp, and with normal and low acidity - slowly, in small sips.

Complex issue

Real natural mineral water requires delicate handling from those who bottle it. Certainly, perfect option- Drink water directly from the source. But, since “Narzan” does not flow from every tap, let’s return to bottled mineral water.

Most liquids that are declared " mineral water", are born like this: first, water from an artesian well (well, if not from a water supply) undergoes deep purification. Such filtration not only removes everything harmful impurities, but at the same time it rids the water of everything useful that accidentally ended up in it. At the second stage, salts and other minerals are added to the water, bringing the chemical composition to any desired state. Of course, with this approach there may be more or less salts than we would like. And even if there is exactly as much “filling” as is needed, for example, for “Essentuki”, it will still not be a “living” environment, but simply a solution of salts. Of course therapeutic effect There is no need to expect anything from drinking such liquid.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine what kind of water is standing in front of you on the supermarket shelf. It is worth focusing on famous manufacturers and famous springs, glass containers that better preserve the properties of water, and quite high price. Another fairly safe option is local mineral water, which is simply not economically profitable to counterfeit. By the way, in the Moscow region there are quite enough decent sources - in Dorokhovo, Monino, Tishkovo, Zvenigorod, Arkhangelsk, Erin, Istra and so on.

If we are talking about a complete (at least safe) product, the following information must be indicated on the label:

Name of water
Name and contacts of the manufacturer
Chemical composition
Degree and method of mineralization
Source name
Storage rules
Best before date

Natural mineral drinking water- These are underground waters of various chemical compositions, saturated with carbon dioxide (CO 2) and used as medicinal, medicinal-table and table waters.

Medicinal waters include waters with mineralization from 8 to 12 g/l. In some cases, waters with higher mineralization are allowed (Batalinskaya - 21 g/l, Lugela - 52 g/l), as well as with mineralization less than 8 g/l in the presence of increased amounts of arsenic, boron and some other substances in the water.

Healing mineral waters have a pronounced effect on the body and are used only as prescribed by a doctor.

TO medical dining room include waters with mineralization from 2 to 8 g/l. The exception is Essentuki water No. 4 with mineralization up to 10 g/l. Medicinal table waters are used as medicinal waters as prescribed by a doctor and as a table drink, but not systematically.

Table waters are divided into natural mineral table waters (mineralization from 1 to 2 g/l or less - in the presence of biologically active substances) and natural table waters (mineralization less than 1 g/l), which are used as a table thirst-quenching and refreshing drink.

In Russia, about 20 types of medicinal mineral waters are produced in bottles, about 110 - medicinal table waters and about 70 - table waters.

The labels on mineral water bottles indicate the chemical composition of the water. Dissolved salts are represented by electrically charged particles - ions with positive (cations) or negative (anions) charges. The main ions are: three cations - sodium (Na +), calcium (Ca 2+), magnesium (Mg 2+), three anions - chlorine (Cl -), sulfate (SO 4 2 -) and bicarbonate (HCO 3 -) .

If hydrocarbonate ions and sodium ions predominate in the water, then it is classified as a sodium bicarbonate group (Borzhom, Dilizhan, Luzhanskaya, etc.). These mineral waters are sometimes called "alkaline".

The predominance of sodium ions in combination with chlorine ions is typical for sodium chloride, or “salty,” mineral waters (Mirgorod, Tyumen, Rostov, etc.).

The combination of three ions - sodium, chlorine and bicarbonate - creates a group of hydrocarbonate-chloride-sodium waters (Essentuki No. 4 and No. 17, Arzni, etc.), which are also called “salt-alkaline.”

Mineral waters such as Smirnovskaya and Slavyanskaya are hydrocarbonate-sulfate-sodium-calcium.

Some mineral waters are characterized by an increased content of microelements, for example iron (Mariyalnaya, Darasun, Ankavan, Polustrovo), bromine (Talitskaya, Lugela), iodine (Azovskaya).

In low-mineralized water naftusya resort Truskavets medicinal value have organic substances: bitumen, humins, etc.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) contained in mineral waters stimulates secretory and motor functions gastrointestinal tract, promotes better thirst quenching, improves the taste of water.

Low and medium carbon dioxide waters are used: 0.3-1.4 and 1.5-2.5 g CO 2 per 1 liter. In hospitals, sanatoriums, dietary canteens where there are no mineral waters of their own, it is necessary to use the most studied medicinal and medicinal table waters: Smirnovskaya, Slavyanovskaya, Essentuki No. 4 and No. 17, Borzhom, Narzan, Jermuk, etc.

Many mineral waters are universal, i.e. they are used for various diseases: digestive organs, kidneys, metabolism (Borzhom, Essentuki, Narzan, Sairme, Jermuk, Krainka, Arzni, etc.).

Taking into account the disease, mineral waters are prescribed different temperatures: 18-20, 35-40, 40-45°C. In the latter cases, the bottles are heated in a sealed (if necessary to preserve CO 2) or uncorked (to remove CO 2) form.

When water mineralization is 2-10 g/l single dose most often it is 200-300 ml, daily - 0.5-1 l. In case of circulatory insufficiency, the amount of mineral water taken is reduced.

When taking mineral waters, reduce the amount of liquid in the diet. The temperature, quantity and time of taking mineral water are determined by the doctor’s prescription and can be individually changed during the course of treatment.

Well drinking cure is usually no more than 1 month. After a break of 2-3 months, the course can be repeated. The “Recommendations on the principles of organizing dietary (therapeutic) nutrition at the place of work, study and residence in the public catering system” (given by the Ministry of Health of the USSR on January 24, 1980, No. 06-5/8-5) gives rules for taking mineral waters (). It is advisable to have these rules in the form of a stand in dietary canteens, sanatoriums, and health resorts.
