Growing up and living in Singapore, our only natural water source is rainwater. Hence, many of us may not know or would not have heard of other natural water sources. Today we dip our toes into Nature’s Best Water Dispenser, i.e Natural Springs, and find out abit more on what they are.
Spring water is known as Raw or Artesian Water, usually collected at the opening of a Spring. It undergoes organic filtration when it passes through clay, sandstones, and limestones, and as a result, known to be the purest form of water. Thus, the natural spring water supplies the body with the necessary nutrients, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium. Risks of heart disease and osteoporosis can decrease with the increased intake of magnesium and water that is rich in calcium.
As much of your body needs water, a lack of it, makes fighting off any potential diseases that much harder. When you consume spring water, it increases your oxygen level, which can be absorbed by your blood, increasing your metabolism after it reacts with the food you consume to produce energy and heat! (Pro Health Tip: Drinking more water increases your metabolism!).
So what are some famous Drinking Water Springs in the world?
A well-known Natural Spring in Florida is the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, a renowned tourist attraction since 1947. The widely consumed bottled fresh water, Natural Springs Australia, obtains its water from the Black Hills mountains in Victoria.
In Hungary, it has been known that the water obtained from the various springs has different healing properties!
