Drinking pure H2O isn’t good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water? Or would you need more time to dissolve the minerals? What if you threw the pill into the H2O and stirred?
Or am I missing something entirely? I think someone on Lemmy even explained to me the other day what is so bad about distilled water. But I’m stupid today and forgot.
Distilled water isn’t bad for you in moderation, but electrolytes and other solutes which are present in impure water are important in maintaining cellular homeostasis, so you’d want to drink standard water on the side. Dissolving electrolytes into distilled water just means that you’ll have extra clean normal water. Fun fact, Coca Cola and other soft drinks use distilled water!
That homeostasis is important. You would always bloat up the cells in mouth, throat and gut a tiny bit.
So dissolve the minerals before drinking, thats better
