Japan’s most authoritative microbiology and immunology expert Fujita Koichiro believes in his book “Mineral water is the best medicine” that mineral water is a natural medicine given to humans by nature, and it must be consumed according to different physiques and needs. Mineral water, who is suitable for low-sodium mineral water?
Nutritional balance is the foundation of good health. People take in nutrients and mineral elements needed by the human body through various foods every day. The lack or excess of nutrients and trace elements are harmful to human health. As the people’s eating habits shift to a more salt-based diet, sodium intake has seriously exceeded the standard. In view of the current situation of people’s sodium exceeding the standard, low sodium mineral water is the best choice for people’s daily drinking water.
For children who drink and eat with their parents, because the various physiological functions of their kidneys are not perfect and mature, serious excess sodium will cause greater additional damage to their kidneys, and excess sodium in the body cannot be excreted in time. , Bring unbearable weight to the immature kidney. In 2016, a survey of 8033 children in Chongqing found that the proportion of obese children and children suffering from hypertension has increased year by year, and a large part of the reason is caused by high sodium intake. Obese children and children suffering from hypertension accounted for 9% and 11%, respectively. Among them, overweight children accounted for more than 33% of hypertension. Strict control of sodium intake is particularly important. Therefore, low-sodium mineral water is especially suitable for children to drink. It can not only meet the needs of children’s body for various mineral elements, but also effectively control the intake of sodium and protect children’s immature kidneys.
When the sodium content of low-sodium mineral water is far better than the international low-sodium standard, the content of metasilicic acid is as high as 54.6mg/L, which is much higher than “Drinking Natural Mineral Water” (GB 8537-2008) and greater than 25mg/L. Related standards. The content of metasilicic acid is also one of the most commonly used and most important boundary indicators for evaluating the quality of mineral water in countries around the world. Silicon is an indispensable element for bone growth. It helps children develop bones and teeth and increase the elasticity and strength of cartilage and connective tissue. At the same time, silicon is usually stored in natural mineral water in the form of metasilicic acid and cannot be manufactured artificially. Drinking more mineral water rich in metasilicic acid can meet the needs of children’s physical development. In terms of controlling sodium intake and replenishing metasilicic acid, full-point water low-sodium mineral water can meet the drinking needs of children and is suitable for long-term drinking by children.
