Drinking water has become a difficult task these days.
Indeed, water is the most important part of the diet and an essential substance for all life activities. Timely replenishment of water can promote human excretion, digestion, lubricate joints, regulate body temperature, maintain Cell morphology, replenishing blood volume…….
Therefore, in daily life, normal people should drink about 1500ml-2000ml of water per day. Of course, in the case of high temperature or increased physical activity level , the water demand is also appropriately increased.
But also because of the importance of water, human beings are no longer satisfied with the simplicity of being cool and white.
Is alkaline mineral water anti-aging? Maybe it’s just an IQ tax.
Recently, according to media reports, a well-known water company in Yunnan claimed that drinking pH9.3 alkaline mineral water can significantly resist aging, lower blood sugar, relieve hyperuricemia and metabolize body acidity.
Through the company’s official website, public account, small program, as well as external marketing slogans, water bottle packaging, etc., consumers are guided to recognize that alkaline water has some “disease treatment” effects. Such as tumors, gout, osteoporosis, hyperuricemia and other diseases
It is reported that in response to this kind of false advertising, the relevant departments will attach great importance to the response at present, and multiple departments will jointly conduct an investigation.
Alkaline water is just a concept
The concept of “acid-base constitution theory” has been refuted many years ago, and there is no such concept in proper terminology.
Each part of the human body has a different pH level, and there is no medical data or evidence to support the use of alkaline water to change the pH of the body.
On the contrary, drinking alkaline water for a long time may increase the burden on the stomach, cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, and even increase the burden on the kidneys to excrete alkali.
In some special circumstances, such as disease, the body may produce more acids or bases.
But the human body itself has a self-acid-base regulation system, which can freely adjust the acid-base substances after food metabolism and the acid-base substances produced by its own physiological activities, so that The PH value of body fluids is maintained at 7.35–7.45.
Therefore, if you want to rely on drinking water or eating certain foods to adjust the acidity and alkalinity, you are just taking off your pants and farting.
Mineral water, does it add minerals?
Mineral water does contain some minerals, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, strontium, metasilicate and other mineral salts, so people always think that after Mineral water after disinfection treatment can also be supplemented with trace elements for drinking.
But in fact, taking it for mineral supplements is a bit tricky.
Just like calcium, the calcium content of a certain mountain spring is 20mg per liter, and our daily calcium intake is recommended at 800mg.
If you want to supplement calcium by drinking it, you need to drink 40 liters of water every day to make up, so it is better to eat some green vegetables.
The best water is, of course, cold water
You should know that the water after boiled is plain water. In the history of our country, there has always been the habit of drinking plain water. After all, boiling water can effectively disinfect Sterilization is healthier than drinking cold water directly.
After all, self-boiling water can not only boilIn order to kill all kinds of microorganisms, it can also allow excessive minerals to settle down, and at the same time let the volatile chemicals in the water volatilize.
Some people worry about the safety risks of self-boiling water?
Don’t worry, the 106 national drinking water testing standards can help you check.
Some people worry that drinking too much yin and yang water is bad for their health?
Don’t worry, the so-called yin and yang water is to mix raw water such as tap water, well water, and river water with hot water, but if you directly mix cold water with hot water, it will indeed make the raw water in the raw water. Viruses and bacteria harm the body.
But as long as it is completely boiled, the water source itself can ensure hygiene and safety, and cold water, hot water, mixed water… can be drunk with confidence.
A water purifier, is it necessary to buy it?
Actually, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.
The tap water itself meets the national standards, and it is safe as long as it is thoroughly boiled.
However, the water purifier can remove “impurities” other than water molecules in the water, and the taste will be relatively better, making the water more pure, and at the same time avoiding the scale caused by hard water.
Therefore, as to whether to buy or not, it depends purely on your needs and financial resources.
