Distillation boils water into steam, then condenses it back into liquid. This process strips away everything: bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and yes, essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Think of it as the water equivalent of a white-walled, empty room—sterile, but lifeless.
Sounds great for a lab experiment, right? But your body isn’t a beaker. You actually need those minerals for your heart, muscles, and nerves to function. Drinking distilled water long-term is like eating a meal of plain white rice—it fills you up but gives you nothing nutritious.
