Lifestyle

When discussing a healthy diet and lifestyle, the focus is often placed on the balance of macronutrients and micronutrients, while the importance of fluid intake is frequently overlooked. Water is the primary component of the human body, accounting for approximately 60% of an adult’s body weight. Although the primary need for water is maintaining fluid balance, or hydration, scientific research shows that the chemical composition of the water we drink has profound functional effects on the body. Natural or mineral-enriched water is not merely a thirst quencher—it is a source of bioactive elements whose regular consumption supports the body’s physiological processes.

What makes functional water different from regular water?

Unlike ordinary tap water or filtered drinking water, mineral water contains dissolved minerals and trace elements in specific concentrations. From a scientific perspective, the value of water is determined by its total dissolved solids (TDS) and the proportions of its individual ions.

The bioavailability of these minerals—their ability to be efficiently absorbed from the digestive tract into the bloodstream—is what makes mineralized water a valuable addition to the daily diet. Since minerals are present in water as charged ions, the body often absorbs them more quickly and efficiently than mineral supplements in solid form.

Key minerals and their functions in the body

Magnesium: The catalyst of cellular metabolism

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It is essential for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy source of cells. This mineral:

• Supports neuromuscular function, helping to prevent muscle cramps and tension.
• Regulates nervous system excitability, contributing to reduced mental and physical fatigue.
• Supports the stable function of the heart muscle.

Electrolytes: Sodium (Na⁺) and potassium (K⁺)

These two ions work together by regulating the sodium-potassium pump in cell membranes. This mechanism controls fluid distribution inside and outside cells, ensuring stable blood pressure and normal nerve impulse transmission. During physical activity, stress, or exposure to high temperatures—when the body loses minerals through sweating—rapid restoration of electrolyte balance becomes particularly important.

Bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻) and acid-base balance

Bicarbonate ions play an important buffering role in the body. They help neutralize stomach acid, relieving digestive discomfort, and support the body’s overall acid-base balance, which may become disrupted during intense physical activity or due to certain dietary habits.

How to incorporate minerals into your daily routine

Optimal body function requires consistency and a conscious approach to hydration. Since modern intensive agriculture may reduce the mineral content of everyday foods, choosing mineral-rich water is an effective way to help compensate for this shortfall. Unlike sugary soft drinks, high-quality mineral water provides hydration without added sugars or artificial preservatives.

Be More mineral sparkling water range

Based on the principles of balanced nutrition and modern science, Be More has developed a range of lightly sparkling mineral-enriched waters designed to support the body’s specific needs. All beverages in the range are free from sugar and preservatives, providing the body with clean, easily absorbable electrolytes.

The range consists of three functional varieties, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your body’s current needs.

1. Be More Mineral Pure – Pure everyday hydration

Mineral Pure is designed for those who appreciate the natural, clean taste of mineral water without added flavors.

• Enriched with magnesium citrate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and Himalayan salt.
• One 330 ml can provides 40% of an adult’s daily magnesium requirement (150 mg), supporting effective everyday hydration at the cellular level and helping maintain normal nervous system function throughout the day.

2. Be More Mineral Refresh – Citrus freshness for recovery

Mineral Refresh offers a crisp, refreshing flavor with notes of lime and lemon. Natural citrus flavors create a clean and invigorating taste experience.

It is an excellent choice during periods of intensive mental work, after physical exercise, or on hot days, helping to quickly replenish minerals lost through perspiration and reduce feelings of fatigue.

3. Be More Mineral Tropical – Exotic taste with functional benefits

Mineral Tropical delivers a fruity taste experience through natural mango and pineapple flavors, making it a healthier alternative to traditional sugary soft drinks.

• Highly bioavailable magnesium (150 mg per can), combined with a balanced electrolyte complex, supports energy metabolism and normal muscle function.
• The added magnesium gives the water a distinctive yet pleasantly mild tartness that perfectly balances the tropical fruit notes.

The entire product range is plant-based (suitable for vegans) and manufactured in Estonia, ensuring high quality standards and rigorous local production control.

Incorporating natural and mineral-enriched water into your daily routine is a science-based way to support the body’s homeostasis—the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Good health begins with meeting the body’s basic needs, and choosing high-quality hydration is one of the cornerstones of that foundation.
