Mineral water refreshes and helps quench thirst. This drink is the most popular remedy for a hangover. However, experts have told in which case it can only harm.

Table mineral water can be called ordinary drinking water. It has a minimal salt content and a small amount of other elements. It is allowed to drink it at least every day, but such mineral water is not used for the treatment of diseases.

In medicinal table mineral water, biologically active substances are slightly more than the permissible norm, and the level of salts is also higher. For the prevention of chronic diseases, it is recommended to drink it for two to three weeks.

There is also medicinal water with mineralization of 10 g/l. “Mineral water will refresh and help relieve fatigue, but table water with a degree of mineralization of no more than 1 g/l is suitable for this purpose, as well as therapeutic table water with a mineralization of 4-5 g/l,” said nutritionist Svitlana Solomeina. She added: “At the same time, you can drink a glass of water no more than 200 ml at a time. Otherwise, you will get an extra load on the kidneys and heart.”

“The high level of mineralization of therapeutic waters is unacceptable even for medical and canteens,” gastroenterologist Anna Volkova emphasized. She noted that an excess of mineral salts can have a negative impact on people with diseases of the kidneys and cardiovascular system, lead to swelling and increased blood pressure.
