Health Tips: How much purified water is good for your health? Excess pure water but harm!
One of the most precious things on earth is water. It is directly or indirectly used by all the people in the world. The consequences of water ignorance or mentality are visible today, where climate imbalances are taking place, while water imbalances at the physical level are also becoming serious health problems. Due to the unfortunate consequences of climate imbalance, people in many places are unable to get the water they need to stay healthy.
Most homes these days are equipped with RO systems. The water is filtered, and we consider it pure drinking water. However, the World Health Organisation and the Bureau of Indian Standards have set a standard for water purified by RO or other technologies. Water purity is measured using the ‘Total Dissolved Solids’ (TDS) parameter. If the water is too pure, it becomes hazardous to your health.
According to a report by the Bureau of Indian Standards, water is considered safe to drink if the amount of TDS, i.e., ‘Total Dissolved Solids’ in one litre, is less than 500 mg. However, this amount should not be less than 250 mg; because of this, the minerals present in the water do not reach your body. According to the World Health Organisation, TDS should be less than 300 mg per litre of water. Water is considered safe for drinking if it contains 300 to 600 mg of TDS per litre.
Simply put, which is scientifically sound, pure water is tasteless, odourless, and olorless. Many purify the water with RO or other technologies to sweeten the water and increase the TDS to 100, the level at which particles of plastic and other materials begin to dissolve in the water. Therefore, you set your RO’s TDS at 350.
