Mineral waters can contain high levels of iron, which can be used for drinking and bathing. Iron levels in mineral water can be determined using analytical methods like flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (F-AAS) or optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES).
Iron is a common element in the earth’s crust, and is present in water in two forms: ferrous iron and ferric iron. Ferrous iron is soluble and makes water clear, but when exposed to air, it oxidizes into ferric iron, which is insoluble and makes water cloudy and reddish-brown.
Mineral water generally has more iron than spring water because it’s bottled directly at the source, retaining its natural mineral composition.
Anemia or anaemia is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen. This can be due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin available for oxygen transport, or abnormalities in hemoglobin that impair its function.
Our distant ancestors drank from the rivers.
Those rivers were and are filled with minerals and nutrients.
They hunted wild game.
Their cravings for sweets were satisfied by the consumption of fruits.
They didn’t use supplements.
If what you have available in your house is fresh and natural and you follow your cravings, you might be ok.
Stay away from anyone trying to sell you a diet.
