Question about conductivity – TDS – PPM in water and in the body

Question:

We have a ppm value of around 120 in Vienna. The filtered water, the alkaline and the acid water all also have 120ppm +/- 3
Is that normal? Doesn't this mean that nothing is shared and filtered there?
At what pH level can you safely start drinking?
Why is Lauretana water so soft and has a pH value of 14 at 6,5 ppm

Answer:

Dear Prof. L.,

Since these TDS questions keep coming up, I looked into them again.

The question is purely quantitative, as I have already explained with regard to water quality, the measurement does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about it.

It affects conductivity. This is quite high in our body, expressed in TDS ppm.

Here are a few examples for comparison.

approx. conductivity TDS ppm
Human organ system10.400,00
Distilled water1,00
reverse osmosis10,00
Graduate15,00
Vienna Hochquell 1211,00

Munich315,00
Berlin WW Alexanderplatz562,00
Graz Andritz waterworks376,00
Würzburg waterworks Galgenberg818,00

Higher electrical resistance (lower TDS ppm) requires increased electrical energy expenditure for nervous system communication and therefore increased stress with lower conductivity. Since we have to consume around 3,4% of our body mass in water every day, its conductivity has a significant influence on that of our organ system, especially if we continuously consume water with low conductivity (= high electrical resistance). Since the mobile water content of our body is between 50 and 60 percent, we replace half our body mass through water changes within about 2 weeks.

When we change the water, we primarily separate ourselves from acid-indicating H+ ions. Therefore, urine and sweat, but also the expiratory aerosols when exhaling, are only in the alkaline range when we are sick. Because we constantly produce acidic ions through food metabolism. We get the energy we need to live from the hydrogen produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons (carbohydrates). We breathe out the carbon (CO2) separated from food in an amount of around 1kg every day.

For all of these metabolic processes we primarily need minerals such as calcium and magnesium. If we don't consume some of these through water (with a high TDS), we have to eat them, i.e. ingest them in addition to calorie-containing food. This means that we then have to eat more than we actually need to for the energy we need. Water low in minerals makes you fat! Have you ever seen a reverse osmosis salesman who is slim?
