Water vs Mineral water
Water is a compound containing one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Water covers about 70 per cent of the earth’s crust and is essential for all living organisms. Water comes in many forms like natural water, bottled water and mineral water.
The water that is got from nature can be called as the normal water or regular water. On the other hand, mineral water is water that contains minerals in it. This itself shows that regular or normal water and mineral water is different in its contents.
Unlike normal water, mineral water contains minerals either naturally or artificially added. When water is got from sources like rivers, lake and well, mineral water is got only from regions that are rich in minerals. This means that water from all sources cannot be treated as mineral water. Even water from other sources is converted to mineral water artificially by adding nutrients in it.
While water does not contain any added minerals, the mineral water comes in added minerals, wither in large values or less value. The mineral components in mineral water varies and may include zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium.
When compared to water, mineral water is a good source of nutrients. Unlike normal or regular water, Mineral water has many health benefits. Mineral water can be said to be a daily refresher. In taste also, there is difference. Some of the mineral waters have a harsher taste whereas normal water does not have any taste.
Regular water is got free. On the contrary, mineral water does not come free and has to be paid. This means that mineral water is more expensive than regular water. Mineral water becomes expensive as the water undergoes many processes before it is bottled.
