Wondering what the real difference is between spring water and filtered tap water? While both are ultimately safer choices than normal tap water, the unique qualities of natural spring water offers many benefits that its filtered counterpart simply cannot replicate, according to NADIA KUMAR of Natural Springs Australia. Here, she explains why spring water is considered the preferred option – from its natural mineral composition to its impressive health profile, and how to get a special offer on your own mineral water dispenser in Singapore.
Where does your natural spring water come from?
Natural Springs Australia sources its water from natural springs that flow from dormant volcanoes in the Victorian Central Highlands. It’s naturally filtered and the purest form of water out there.
But isn’t filtered tap water at home equally good for you?
Filtered tap water removes impurities, including harmful substances, via a filtration system, which can vary in effectiveness. A study by researchers from Duke University and North Carolina State University found that not all types of in-home filters sufficiently remove chemicals from drinking water. In addition, a few could do more harm than good if not properly maintained.
Even when the filtration process works optimally, it can inadvertently strip water of valuable minerals. And this is where spring water has many advantages.
5 reasons to choose spring water over filtered tap water
#1 Naturally pure and fresh
Originating from underground sources, spring water is protected from environmental pollutants and contaminants and doesn’t require processing or treatment. No nasty chemicals or additives here!
#2 Mineral-rich composition
Spring water absorbs essential minerals from its surroundings, such as sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. These minerals not only hydrate the body but also aid in maintaining optimal bodily functions and contribute to healthy bones, skin and teeth.
#3 Health benefits
The mineral composition of natural spring water has been shown to assist in the treatment of migraines, chronic pain, anxiety, constipation, diabetes and heart problems.
#4 Delicious taste
Bottled spring water tastes pure and fresh because it’s not subjected to chemicals like chlorine that can affect the taste of filtered tap water.
#5 Extra hydration power
Natural Springs Australia is naturally alkaline and free from impurities. This makes it easier for the body to absorb, stay hydrated and flush out those toxins.
