There are around 21 mineral elements including calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and other found elements which are known to be essential for the human body. Some common minerals essential for health are calcium - for bones and teeth, magnesium- for a healthy nervous system and heart, iron- for the production of haemoglobin, potassium- to keep the muscles healthy, zinc - for a healthy immune system, and sodium- to maintain the balance of water around the cells.
So, where do these minerals come from?
The mineralization of water is possible in several ways But the natural way of mineralization of water occurs when pure water i.e rainwater lands on the Earth's soil. The soil happens to absorb the water and later the absorbed water imbibes essential minerals like potassium, calcium, and sodium as it passes through the layers of soil, this water gets collected under the soil and is called groundwater But if the quality of the soil is unfit or contaminated the quality of the groundwater degrades too.
Also, If talked about springwater or the origination of any river or stream from where the water starts to flow has a high chance of containing alkaline minerals. As that water is untouched by any pollution or contamination, the best example to be given is the origin of the river Ganga i.e Gangotri, the water here is naturally alkaline by imbibing the alkaline minerals from the stones through which the water flows. But as the water flows further through the towns and the cities the water gets contaminated due to pollution and other factors which make it unfit for drinking.
