Is drinking mineral water good for your digestion?

Question

I heard that Mineral Water is good for digestion and can it cure digestive problems?

And is it bad if you drink mineral water if your stomach is empty?

Answer 1

Natural mineral water benefits digestion. Chloride and Bicarbonates are found in mineral water.  They can play a role in digestion and assist in keeping acid balanced within the stomach and upper and lower intestines.

If you drink something that is de-mineralized, such as distilled waters, you will create an acid pH in your stomach and intestines. You will be prone to have heartburn and aggravate acid reflux.  

Knowing this, some companies have introduced mineral revitalization water purification systems.

And no, it is not bad for you to drink mineral water on an empty stomach.  In fact, the Japanese believe drinking water on an empty stomach is good for your health.  However, be sure to check with your doctor first before trying something new.
