Water is the source of life, whether you are rich or poor, you must drink water. There are a variety of water related products on the market, including mineral water, mineral water, purified water, and natural drinking water. There are also various strange consumption concepts such as bamboo charcoal water, postpartum water, glacier water, weakly alkaline water, and small molecule water. How should we ordinary people choose when facing so many concepts?

(1) Mineral water. True mineral water is good and has certain health benefits. But if some mineral water contains disproportionate amounts of minerals, it may not necessarily be good. Especially some mineral water is actually artificially mixed with several mineral trace elements in pure water, which is difficult to ensure the natural normal proportion, and may also lack some trace elements that are needed. Authentic brand water should be chosen for drinking.

(2) Pure water (distilled water, space water) removes all harmful substances and elements. If pure water is used for drinking and cooking, all trace elements in the water will be gone, and over time, there may be potential damage. Used for brewing tea and drinking, to maintain a good taste of the tea, but not for excessive use. Especially for the elderly and children, it is not suitable for long-term consumption.

(3) Re filtered tap water. The tap water treated from the water plant has been monitored for 35 bacteria and other factors. However, it is better to use a simple and economical activated carbon purifier to filter and reuse the water that passes through the water pipe network and water tank to the faucet.

Daily water use should also be noted. Drain the stagnant water from the water pipe all night in the morning. Drinking water can be stored for a few hours before use (but should not exceed one day). Aged old water stored for more than 3 days, whose molecular structure cannot be deformed by impact, is not suitable for drinking. Boiling water usually lasts for 3 minutes. Do not boil it for too long. It is not good if the water is not boiled or boiled for too long. Water that has been boiled repeatedly or stored in a thermos for several days should not be consumed.

How to drink water?

Adults generally need to supplement about 2 liters of water per day, during which about 800 milliliters can be obtained from food, so they also need to drink about 1200 milliliters. If it's summer, or if you exercise a lot and sweat a lot, you should drink more. The air in the north is dry, so you can also drink plenty of water appropriately.

Drinking water should be rare and repeated, and it is important to have an understanding of how to drink water automatically, rather than drinking it when feeling thirsty, especially for elderly people who are not sensitive and need to replenish water in a timely manner. Drink a glass of water when getting up in the morning, and avoid drinking too much water before going to bed at night to avoid frequent waking up. Don't drink a lot of water immediately after vigorous exercise, it's better to drink slowly. People with stone constitution and those with kidney stones should drink plenty of water appropriately to reduce urinary salt precipitation.

Three Precautions for Drinking Barreled Water

Be careful not to put bottled water in sunny areas. Barreled water illuminated by sunlight is more prone to algae growth and bacterial growth, leading to an oversupply of bacterial colonies. Pay attention to preventing counterfeit bottled water, and consumers must go to legitimate water delivery points to purchase bottled water. Note that the bottled water should be used up within a week after opening.
