people often use saline supplements essential to maintain
the energy required for physical activities constant. The need to drink is often wrongly
identified with the necessity to introduce liquids whereas, instead, the organism needs to
reintegrate especially mineral salts. It has happened to everyone to drink liquids with a poor salt content deceiving oneself to quench one's thirst but just for a few minutes because one has to drink again.
Water therefore should not be considered a mere liquid to ingest, but rather its choice results from the desire to preserve the organism.
With an accurate intake of liquids it is likely to avoid frequent psychomotor stress. This is the reason saline supplements have been created.
There are various saline supplements on the market and they are all carefully studied in laboratory to face the strains the body is put through during any sport activity. However, it stands to reason that these products are artificial.
The list that follows
summerises the average allowances recommended by the Italian
Society for Human Nutrition compared with the present leading saline supplement drink,
Gatorade, and San Martino Mineral Water (values expressed in mg/l). The data indicated
above can be check by simply reading the labels on the two products. It is therefore thanks to nature that it is possible to reintegrate mineral salts used during daily psychomotor activities by drinking San Martino Mineral Water: a natural product without colourings, preservatives and sweeteners.
These salts are also essential to those who do not practice sports.
It comes natural to ask why mineral salts are useful. MAGNESIUM is essential to fight against daily stress and it acts as a blood vessel dilator. Together with Potassium, it balances muscular suppleness as well because it reduces the risk of strains and cramps. CALCIUM, in the ionic form, plays an important role in blood coagulation. Moreover, its supply is fundamental to encourage growth and fight osteoporosis. POTASSIUM stimulates the brain cells which generally carry out mnemonic functions. It is essential for the production of proteins and contributes to a correct blood circulation together with Magnesium.
IRON takes part in the chemical reactions which take place in the body. Most enzymes need it to carry out their functions. Iron is also an essential element for the production of hemoglobin. Its deficiency decreases physical resistance and reduces concentration capabilities, therefore performance during working activities as well.
SODIUM and CHLORIDE complete this extraordinary natural composition, making San Martino Mineral Water suited for the reintegration of those mineral salts essential for a correct primary diet.
