You know that flat, "dead" taste of distilled water? That’s your tongue telling you something is missing. Natural water gets its subtle flavors from dissolved minerals—like a whisper of calcium or a hint of magnesium. Without them, water tastes blank. It’s like hearing a song with no bass.
Some people argue distilled water is "cleaner." But clean doesn’t mean fit for drinking. Rainwater is distilled by nature, but you wouldn’t rely on it exclusively. Your body evolved to drink water that’s alive with trace elements.
