Treatment of kidneys with mineral water: benefit or harm?
Treatment of kidneys with mineral water is carried out only with the help of natural waters, which are extracted directly from sources or wells. They contain a large number of salts and other organic impurities.
Biologically active substances, such as bromine, iodine, fluorine, arsenic and iron, play an important role. As a result, this liquid has a special physical and chemical composition, and also heals the human body. In addition, mineral water for a long time can not lose its healing properties.
This is important!
The strongest therapeutic effect is produced by water with the content of calcium, sodium and magnesium hydrogencarbonate. But not all mineral water is suitable for treatment.
Specialists classify all mineral waters into dining rooms, canteens and curative ones, depending on the salt content in them. In the table mineral water contains from 2 to 5 g of mineral substances per liter. Use this water is allowed without restrictions, both to the sick and healthy people.
In table water for 1 liter, there are 5-15 grams of mineral components. Consumption of such water can be prescribed by the attending physician.
Drinking real healing water is not recommended to get involved in a healthy person, as the concentration of salt in it is very high - reaches 35 g per liter. Take it with great caution and only after the doctor's testimony.
The healing effect of
The effect of a particular mineral water depends on the composition of the components that make up it. Such components can be: sulfates, chlorine, hydrogen carbonate, sodium, potassium, magnesium and sometimes aluminum and iron.
Chlorine affects the excretory function in the kidneys.
Sulfate when combined with calcium, magnesium and sodium can reduce the secretion of gastric juice and its activity.
Hydrocarbonate activates the secretion of gastric juice.
Sodium and potassium maintains normal pressure in tissue fluids. Potassium affects the work of the heart and the central nervous system, and sodium delays the passage of urine.
Calcium increases the contractile forces of the heart muscle, improves immunity, produces anti-inflammatory effect, affects the process of bone growth and dehydrates the body. So, hot calcium water helps in the treatment of stomach ulcers and gastritis.
Magnesium is perfectly absorbed in the human body, reduces spasms in the gallbladder. Understand the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, and have a positive effect on the activity of the nervous system.
Also in the composition of this water is a lot of microelements that are necessary for the normal functioning of the body as a whole, namely:
- Iodine - activates the thyroid gland, takes part in the processes of recovery and resorption.
- Bromine - normalizes the activity of the brain.
- Fluoride - insufficient fluoride content provokes destruction of bones, especially teeth.
- Manganese - has a positive effect on sexual function and enhances the exchange of proteins.
- Copper allows the iron to be converted to hemoglobin.
- Iron - lack of iron in the body causes the development of anemia.
This is important!
Mainly in mineral water there is hydrogen sulphide and carbonic acid. Carbonic mineral waters affect the metabolic processes in the body, improving them. Carbon dioxide, which is absorbed already from the gastrointestinal tract, activates respiratory activity and increases muscle tone.
Hydrogen sulphide water is used mainly for baths. Hydrogen sulphide normalizes the work of the central nervous system and positively affects the condition of the vessels.
What are the mineral waters
? According to the temperature regime, all mineral waters are divided into:
- cold - less than 20 degrees;
- warm - from 20 to 35 degrees;
- hot - from 35 to 42 degrees;
- is very hot - more than 42 degrees.
Healing waters, as a rule, have an alkaline or neutral medium. When ingested in the stomach, then into the intestine, they change their own environment in the body, therefore they affect the digestive enzymes.
Rules for the treatment of mineral water
The volume of this water, which should be taken at a time, can vary depending on the nature of the disease, the composition of the water and its mineralization. In general, doctors recommend the use of warm water, but the temperature can also depend on the nature of the pathology.
The effect of this water may vary depending on the time of its use. It will need to be taken before meals, during or after a meal. It is often recommended to drink water on an empty stomach, but with diarrhea it is not recommended to drink water on an empty stomach.
Mineral water treatment process
At the first stage of treatment, mucus, pathogenic microorganisms, pus that accumulate in the urinary canals are excreted and dissolved from the body. In the second stage of treatment, the body begins production of protective colloids, while the solubility of salts in the urine increases and they stop precipitating, which is why the formation of stones is greatly reduced.
This is important!
When exposed to mineral water, the kidneys receive good prophylaxis against re-formation, because the specific gravity of urine decreases.
Many women occasionally complain of cystitis. Mineral water without gases is the main means of preventing exacerbation of this pathology. You must drink at least two liters of water per day.
