Hydrating properly with essential minerals for improved wellbeing
Water is the cornerstone of life, but ensuring its purity and mineral balance is critical for optimal health and performance – at home, work, or play. Drinking purified water with a healthy mix of essential minerals can significantly impact physical and cognitive wellbeing.
Contaminants in both tap and bottled water are a growing concern as many studies indicate they can harbour pollutants like toxic metals, bacteria, microplastics, and persistent chemicals such as PFAS (per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances). Known as ‘forever chemicals’ for their long-lasting presence in the environment, PFAS have been linked to health risks, including increased cholesterol, reduced immunity, reproductive issues, and elevated cancer risks. Studies have found PFAS in over 99% of bottled water samples tested globally and in tap water in major cities.
Beyond chemical contaminants, single-use plastic bottles exacerbate pollution. Over 600 billion of these bottles are produced every year globally, and they often leach harmful chemicals into the water and contribute to a global crisis of plastic waste. Microplastics are now present in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, which is where choosing a purification solution may pay a health dividend.
Yet, while advanced purification systems remove harmful contaminants, they can also strip away beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium that support bone health, enzymatic functions, and overall hydration. To address this, systems like Bluewater’s SuperiorOsmosis™ technology purify water and allow for the reintroduction of essential minerals, creating a balanced and refreshing water profile.
Bluewater’s innovative beverage solutions include a scientifically designed mineral blend called ‘Liquid Rock,’ optimised for hydration with a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. This ideal balance ensures better absorption and contributes to bodily functions like muscle performance and cognitive clarity.
Correct hydration is vital if you want tiptop physical performance in daily life. It aids in regulating body temperature, delivering nutrients to cells, and flushing out toxins. Your ability to concentrate and remember things also benefit from adequate hydration, making purified, mineral-enhanced water an essential component of a healthy lifestyle.
For children, hydration is linked to improved attention spans and learning, emphasising the importance of accessible, high-quality water in schools and homes. For adults, staying hydrated supports sustained energy and focus throughout the day.
Bringing smart hydration under-sink solutions for homes and water fountain dispensers for work environments, Bluewater’s IoT-enabled systems enable users to customise their water’s mineral content to meet specific health and taste preferences using an appdriven seamless smartphone experience.
Bluewater’s range of refillable stainless-steel bottles further complements these systems, offering sustainable, long-lasting alternatives to single-use plastics.
By championing purified, mineral-enhanced water solutions, companies like Bluewater are leading the charge in transforming hydration for the better and allowing people to tap into a healthier lifestyle. For Bluewater, clean, balanced water is more than necessary; it’s a foundation for a healthier, more sustainable future.
