Here’s the weird part: your body actually prefers a little company in its water. Tap water gives you trace minerals—tiny amounts of calcium and magnesium that your cells use every day. Distilled water is so pure that it can actually pull minerals out of your body if you drink nothing but it for weeks. That’s not dangerous for most people, but it’s a fascinating quirk, isn’t it?
But don’t panic! Drinking a glass of distilled water here and there is totally harmless. Your body is a smart machine. It’s only a problem if you replace all your tap water with distilled water for months. Think of it like eating plain white rice for every meal—fine for a day, but you’d miss the vitamins.
