Hey water lovers, it’s April—and while flowers may be blooming and days are getting longer, we’re taking a moment to slow down and recognize something we all experience but rarely talk about openly: stress.
Whether it’s the pressure of juggling work, family, relationships, or just the unpredictability of life, stress can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds. So this month in The Droplet, we're spotlighting one mighty mineral that quietly supports us through it all: Calcium.
Why Calcium? It’s More Than Just for Bones
Most of us think of calcium and immediately picture bones and teeth—and yes, it’s essential there—but calcium does much more behind the scenes. It plays a powerful role in regulating neurotransmitters, helping your brain send and receive signals. That means it influences your mood, your anxiety levels, and even your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Not getting enough calcium can actually heighten feelings of irritability and restlessness. On the flip side, supporting your system with naturally calcium-rich water might just be the gentle nudge your nervous system needs to find more calm and balance.
So… Which Waters Should You Sip This Month?
Glad you asked. If you’re looking to incorporate more calcium into your life naturally, these two selections from www.salaciousdrinks.com are easy, elegant choices:
🌿 Fiuggi (Italy)
Often hailed for its kidney-cleansing properties, Fiuggi is also a silent hero for calcium intake. It’s a still water with an incredibly smooth mouthfeel and a subtle taste that makes it easy to drink glass after glass. If you're someone who struggles with staying hydrated or just wants a daily water that quietly supports your body, Fiuggi might be your match.
💎 San Benedetto (Italy) – Millennium Still & Rose Sparkling
Ah, elegance in a bottle. Both the still and the rose-hued sparkling options from San Benedetto's luxury line offer a refined dose of calcium. The Rose Sparkling, in particular, is a sensory delight—light bubbles, gentle mineral notes, and the kind of chic bottle you’ll want to show off. These are perfect for unwinding after a long day, or setting the tone for a restful night.
Let’s Be Clear: Hydration Helps, but the Right Water Heals
This month, instead of reaching for another coffee or collapsing into the couch at the end of a stressful day, try adding a calcium-rich natural water into your routine. You may notice that your mood feels more stable, your sleep deeper, and your nervous system a bit more at ease.
Water may be simple, but when it’s natural and full of the right minerals, it becomes something so much more—a daily act of self-care.
Stay hydrated, stay grounded, and sip with intention.
With calm and care,
