Water, which makes up 70-75 percent of the brain, is also necessary for memory. Water accelerates brain functions as a whole. The brain works slower when there is no water. The dehydrated brain's capacity to retain information and create memory is negatively affected, and this is negatively reflected in brain functions and memory. Water containing calcium and magnesium is considered "hard water". Most of us do not pay enough attention to the benefits of calcium and magnesium for our body. 70 percent of the daily recommended calcium requirement is provided by milk and dairy products, 16 percent by dried fruits and vegetables, and 6-7 percent by natural mineral waters. However, it is difficult to determine an exact figure for calcium intake with water, because there is water containing 400 mg of calcium per liter, and there is water containing only a few mg of calcium per liter... For this reason, the labels on water bottles should be read carefully.
The ideal calcium intake is calcium. Drinking natural mineral water that is rich in minerals and has a high pH...
