Mineral Water = Calorie Free Calcium Source

Mineral Water = Calorie Free Calcium Source

Have you ever wanted to get the much needed source of calcium in your diet but don’t want to also have to gain weight in the process? Well researchers have discovered that mineral water is a great alternative to do both. Not only is it a great source of calcium but it also completely calorie free when doing so. Forget about drinking milk or taking different supplements to get that much needed calcium intake; mineral water can be consumed as part of your daily water intake and calcium intake. The United States recommends 1,300 mg per day of calcium for adults. If you were trying to intake that much calcium through milk, you would need to drink well over three glasses a day. So why not kill two birds with one stone? Drinking mineral water will quench your thirst at the same time giving you the much needed calcium you need in your diet. 

A study in 2004 showed that calcium in mineral water was just as absorbed as calcium in milk. A new study looked at how well the body absorbed calcium with five different products. The five products were: 3 types of mineral water, milk, and a mineral supplement all of which contained 300 mg of calcium. After the study it was determined that the water absorbed the same amount of calcium from all five product. Seeing as the United States recommends 1,300 mg of calcium per day and the amount of water that is recommended is 2 liters; all you would need to do is drink a liter of mineral water that would have 500 mg per liter to ensure you get your recommended amount of calcium per day.
