Description of the resort Fiuggi

Fiuggi Resort the most famous thermal resort in Italy, located eighty kilometers southeast of Rome, in the foothills of the Apennines in the province of Lazio.

Distance to Naples - 180 km. In an hour you can reach the Tyrrhenian Sea. Currently the small town of Fiuggi is second only to Rome in terms of the number of hotels. The history of the resort began with a small spring, which was awarded attention back in the Middle Ages by famous people of that time.

Dad Boniface VIII ordered water from this source for his treatment as early as 1299, as evidenced by the Vatican archives.
Starting from this year, the hydropathic resorts of Fiuggi are switching to year-round operation. IN low season in the first half of the day the Antikolana hydropathic will be open. Consultation with a thermal specialist - by appointment only.

Treatment course includes only drinks mineral water on an empty stomach according to the scheme prescribed by the doctor. Usually, water - several glasses at regular intervals - is taken in the morning on an empty stomach and in the afternoon. During this procedure, it is recommended to walk in the park or dance on a specially equipped dance floor of the park.

It turned out that almost half of the respondents drink less than one liter a day or do not drink water at all. It is worth recalling that most experts advise adults to consume at least one and a half liters clean water in a day.

This is necessary in order to maintain the water balance in the body, to prevent chronic dehydration, which is the main cause of many diseases.

To maintain good health, you need to drink high-quality water and in the required quantity. Moreover, it cannot be replaced by tea, coffee, carbonated drinks. Some scientists believe that many ailments and diseases are directly related to the lack of fluid in the body.

With age, its amount in the body decreases, dehydration occurs. The brain reacts to the lack of water in the body with a number of unpleasant sensations: weakness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, dysfunction of organs, and then of the whole organism.

Throughout life, two processes take place in our body: destruction and restoration. After about 30 years, destruction begins to prevail over restoration.

Over the years, the amount of water in the body gradually decreases (dehydration occurs), obvious signs of aging appear, in particular, flabby and wrinkled skin becomes.

But the loss of water with age is not only wrinkles, a decrease in skin elasticity, it is a loss of energy and metabolic disorders. Why is the drinking course of water at the Fiuggi spring necessary and useful?

WHY FIUGGI OR WHICH WATER IS BEST ASSOCIATED BY THE BODY?

ORP (RedOx - Reduction/Oxidation) is one of the most important characteristics of water and determines the degree of electron activity in redox reactions.

It is measured in millivolts. The energy that is released during such reactions in the body is spent on maintaining homeostasis and cell regeneration, that is, on ensuring vital processes. The cells of our body have a negative potential - from -100 to -200 millivolts.

The water we drink every day has a positive redox potential. ORP conventional drinking water(from the tap, bottled, etc.) is almost always greater than zero and is in the range from plus 300 to plus 500 mV.

Now in the world there is a lot of information about "activated" water, which has a negative ORP value and has powerful restorative properties.

Known to be real natural waters from healing sources have higher regenerative properties than “treated” and “processed” waters. The high regenerative properties of Fiuggi water are explained by the fact that it has negative ORP values.

The ORP of Fiuggi water at the source is from -23 to -32 millivolts, which means that the ORP of Fiuggi water is very close to the ORP of "blood, the internal environment of the body."

Cold mineral water Fiuggi (temperature in the spring 12.4 C), which has no analogues in chemical composition in the world, has not only diuretic properties, but also decomposition and removal of kidney stones and prevention of their formation.

Basic research carried out at the University "La Sapienza" in Rome showed that the secret of usefulness lies in the content of a special organic molecule (fulvic acid) in it, which in reaction with stone or sand softens its structure and eventually decomposes and completely removes it.

All about mineral water in Fiuggi

Mineral water from natural sources Fiuggi has been known for its miraculous properties since the time of Pliny. That is why the emperors Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Caracalla and Nero chose this place for their summer residences, building magnificent villas here.

Fiuggi water not only destroys kidney stones, but also prevents their formation, enhances the solubility of calcium oxalate and slows down the process of its crystallization, thus providing reliable prevention, thanks to the correct ratio of calcium and magnesium in its composition.

And this happens due to the strengthening of the detoxification process, that is, the cleansing of the cells and tissues of the body from toxins and decay products. It's all about the unique hydrogeological features of the area, chestnut and pine forests, the "correct" ratio of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.

The high reducing properties of Fiuggi water are explained by the fact that it has negative ORP values.

The ORP of Fiuggi water at the source is from -23 to -32 millivolts, which means that the ORP of Fiuggi water is very close to the ORP of blood, the internal environment of the body.

ORP (RedOx - Reduction/Oxidation) is one of the most important characteristics of water and determines the degree of electron activity in redox reactions.

It is measured in millivolts. The energy that is released during such reactions in the body is spent on maintaining homeostasis and cell regeneration, that is, on ensuring vital processes.

The cells of our body have a negative potential - from -100 to -200 millivolts.

The water we drink every day has a positive redox potential. The ORP of ordinary drinking water (from a tap, bottled, etc.) is almost always greater than zero and ranges from plus 300 to plus 500 mV.

Drinking the required amount of pure water per day is an excellent investment in your health for the future.
