It is said that drinking more water is good for the body, so men have also started to increase the intensity of drinking water, hoping to make themselves healthier. However, you may not know that drinking water is actually a science. If you do not understand the following, drinking more water may harm your health.
1. "Killing Machine" in Water
Boiled tap water may contain carcinogenic high chloride compounds, and the water quality may age after being stored for a long time (overnight). Nowadays, various domestic water treatment machines are also on the market, such as the once popular mineral kettles. Such equipment has follow-up maintenance issues, just like drinking fountains, which may become a source of secondary pollution of drinking water.
2. Long standing boiled water
After boiling water for a long time, the nitrogen-containing organic matter in it will continuously be decomposed into nitrite. In particular, boiled water that has been stored for too long can inevitably be contaminated by bacteria. At this time, the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic compounds accelerates, and the formation of nitrite increases. After drinking such water, the combination of nitrite and hemoglobin can affect the oxygen transport function of the blood. Therefore, residual water that has been boiled repeatedly in a thermos for many days, and water that has been boiled on the stove for a long time, have changed in composition and are no longer drinkable. You should drink boiled water for no more than 24 hours once. In addition, bottled and barreled purified water and mineral water should not be stored for too long. Large bottles or barrels of purified water or mineral water should not be consumed for more than 3 days
