Okubaluleke kunazo zonke kulabo abaya emaceleni ezemidlalo noma amaqembu empilo, kuyoba ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi amaminerali ngemuva kokuqeqeshwa okujulile. Phakathi nokusebenza kwezivivinyo eziningi (ikakhulukazi ekuthuthukiseni isivinini noma ukukhuthazela), umzimba womuntu ukwandisa ngokuphindaphindiwe inqubo yokuthuthumela. Ngenxa yalokho, inani elikhulu lamanzi lilahlekile ngokujuluka, futhi umthamo wokujuluka okhukhulayo ukwanda, kuphakamisa ukucindezeleka ngokomzimba umzimba wethu ukubekezelela. Ngaphezu kwamanzi ngokwawo, ukujuluka kuqukethe nosawoti wamaminerali (ubukhona babo bubangelwa ukunambitheka okusawoti). Kodwa izakhi eziningi ezakhiwa lawa usawoti (isibonelo, i-magnesium, i-sodium, i-potassium) zibaluleke kakhulu ngokugcina ukuhambisana kokubunjwa kwemvelo yangaphakathi nokwenza imisebenzi ebaluleke kakhulu emzimbeni, njengokubamba iqhaza ekulawulweni kwenhliziyo nesimiso senhliziyo, impulses, ukuphambana kwemisipha yomzimba. Ngakho-ke, uma emva kokuqeqesha, ungazalisi ukulahlekelwa kwalezi zimaminerali, bese uqhubeka nokuphila ngendlela enempilo kubantu abanjalo bangase babe engozini.
Ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi amaminerali kusiza ukuxazulula inkinga yokulahlekelwa lezozinto ezibalulekile ezisuswe emzimbeni ngesikhathi sokuthuthumela. Noma yiluphi uhlobo lwamanzi amaminerali aqukethe lezi noma ezinye izakhi ezidingekayo kithi ngezilinganiso ezihlukahlukene (Yebo, uma lokhu kungamanzi amaminerali okhiphe emithonjeni, hhayi nje i-soda). Ngokuqondene nezintandokazi zabantu lapho ukhetha umkhiqizo othile womkhiqizo esitolo, lokhu ngokoqobo kungabizwa ngokuthi yindaba yokunambitha. Kuvela ukuthi ukunambitheka kwalokhu noma ukuthi ezihlukahlukene zamanzi amaminerali kunqunywe isethi futhi isilinganiso saloti sichithwa kuso.
Ukubaluleka kwamanzi amaminerali kubo bonke abalandeli bokuphila okunempilo kuchazwe nokuthi lo mkhiqizo unokuqukethwe okwekhalori (okungafani netiyi elimnandi noma ikhofi, okuyinto abesifazane besimanje abathanda ukuhlukunyezwa ngesikhathi sokusebenza ngosuku). Ukusebenzisa amanzi amaminerali, uzothola ngesikhathi esisodwa umphumela womphumela wokuvuselela umzimba (lesi senzo senziwa ama-bubbles afanayo ehlakazekile emanzini amaminerali carbon dioxide), kodwa ungavumeli ukwedlula ngokweqile nokubonakala kwesisindo somzimba esiningi.
Ngokuqondene nezintandokazi lapho ukhetha amanzi angcolile noma angabonakali, khona-ke kubantu abaphila ngendlela enempilo, kokubili izinhlobo zokudla zizosiza ngokufanayo. Kodwa-ke, ngisho nesistimu yokugaya ukudla okunempilo, umuntu akufanele angene kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwamanzi amaminerali amakhulu, ngoba ngokudla njalo umkhiqizo onjalo, imiphumela emibi yokungena ezindongeni zesisu kungenzeka. Futhi kubantu abavele benesifo esithile sepheshana lomzimba, kungcono ukuthenga amanzi angabonakali ngamaminerali, futhi kuyadingeka ukuba udle amanzi ngegesi isikhathi esifushane ngemuva kokuvula ibhodlela (lapho kwenzeka khona ingxenye yegesi echonswe nge-plug evulekile, futhi izindonga zesisu ngeke zibe yingozi kakhulu).
Ukuba khona kwama-sweeteners noma ama-flavourings emanzini amaminerali kwenza lo mkhiqizo ube mnandi kakhulu, kodwa uma uthenga amanzi ukucima ukoma kwakho ngosuku olushisayo ehlobo, kufanele usayikhetha umkhiqizo ngaphandle kwanoma yiziphi izithako ezenziwe ngokufakelwa. Iqiniso liwukuthi amaminerali amaminerali amnandi kanye nama-flavour avimbela amancane kakhulu kunomkhiqizo wemvelo ohlanzekile.
Njengoba sibona, kulabo bantu abaphila ngendlela enempilo, ukubaluleka kokuphuza amanzi amaminerali ukugcina umzimba ngezwi kuhlale kubaluleke kakhulu.
