Who doesn't want to live a healthy life? Based on Google's report alone, Indonesians are mostly looking for health during 2020. This is natural because we all want to prevent the dangers of the COVID-19 pandemic which has been going on for one year.

Among all the health tips that you have read, chances are, you have often heard the advice to consume lots of water. It's no secret, but today's situation makes it even more important to keep our bodies healthy. But now the question is, do you know the qualities of good drinking water?

First of all, most of you probably don't know that there is a difference between regular water and mineral water. The regular water you drink comes from wells or lakes, while mineral water is taken from mountain springs, which are rich in natural minerals. To be safe for consumption, the regular, plain water must go through a series of filters which can cause the erosion of mineral content and other useful substances. On the other hand, mineral water does not undergo too many processes that can cause its "benefits" to be disturbed. This factor is what makes people consume mineral water more.

Based on Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 492 of 2010, good drinking water must pass a test by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), which meets three requirements: Physical, Chemical, and Microbiological. Good drinking water should; (1) Have no color, any smell, and no taste. (2) Does not contain toxic chemicals such as Hg (mercury), Pb (lead), As (arsenic), Cd (cadmium), or Cr (chromium). Last, (3) Free from harmful bacteria that can cause stomach aches or diarrheas.
