(N/A) Demineralised water is not suitable for drinking because it lacks essential minerals like $Ca^{2+}$,$Mg^{2+}$,and other trace elements required by the human body. Distilled water is also not ideal for drinking as it lacks these essential minerals. To make such water useful for drinking,it must be remineralized by adding controlled amounts of essential minerals and salts,and it should be aerated to improve its taste.
