What Is Oligomineral Water
Oligomineral water is a relatively new term. We all know that drinking at least two litres of water a day is good for our bodies, but not everyone considers that it matters which type of water we choose.
The best approach is to pick the water type that suits your needs and metabolism. We are all different, and so are our bodies' requirements.
Waters in Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, almost all mineral, table, and spring waters have relatively low mineralisation. Oligomineral water is the most common — also known as water with an optimal mineralisation level between 50 and 500 mg/l, making it ideal for everyday consumption.
Oligomineral waters have mineralisation — dissolved solids between 50 and 500 mg/l. They sit between low- and high-mineralisation waters.
How to Choose the Right Water Type
By common sense, water is always mineral because even in tiny amounts it contains minerals that make up TDS (Totally Dissolved Solids) — the solid residue left after evaporation at 180°C. Always read the label on the bottle.
People who actively care about their health often choose minimally mineralised water, but that is not a requirement for a positive effect — it depends on how your body works. If you are prone to kidney stones, oligomineral water is preferable because it encourages diuresis. Athletes, children, and older adults with fragile bones may need water with higher mineralisation.
Taste matters too. Light water may encourage you to drink more to quench your thirst, while hard water satisfies thirst more quickly.
Practical Tips
The most useful approach is to combine and alternate water types depending on your diet and health needs:
- Higher-mineralisation water aids digestion
- Oligomineral water cleanses the body more and suits people with high blood pressure
- It is often recommended by paediatricians for preparing infant formula
Unless you have specific medical conditions — always consult a doctor — alternating soft and hard water lets you benefit from both.
