What happens if you drink spoiled water

On this earth, all living things cannot live without oxygen and water. As environmental pollution becomes more and more serious, water quality has become a concern for people. Many people with a high quality of life never drink tap water in their daily lives. They choose to order bottled mineral water. Bottled mineral water also has a shelf life. What will happen if you drink spoiled water? Let's find out.

1. Can you still drink expired bottled water?

If bottled water has been expired for a long time, the bottled water mainly contains some alkaline ions, which are used to neutralize the acid in the body. If the shelf life is exceeded, these ions will be free and produce new harmful ions, which are not good for health! Mineral water bottles are made of polyethylene. After the shelf life, the material will age and release carcinogenic toxic substances. If it encounters high temperature during storage, it will accelerate the release of toxic substances.

Theoretically, whether it is purified water or mineral water, it is best to drink it within seven days after opening. In fact, there is no big problem with purified water. This deadline is to prevent impurities in the water dispenser from being sucked into the water by the suction of the bucket and polluting the water source. As for mineral water, since it is a natural water source, after six or seven layers of purification, there are still certain minerals and tiny algae in it. Drinking this kind of thing is beneficial to the body and not harmful. However, if it is exposed to direct sunlight or stored for a long time, the minerals and algae will be photosynthesized to produce green algae that can be seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, do not drink expired bottled water. After all, bottled water has a shelf life within a specified period of time. If it is expired, do not drink it casually, as it will harm your health.

2. What should I do if I eat spoiled food?

Method 1

If you eat spoiled or unhygienic food, it may cause severe poisoning, while milder cases may cause diarrhea and vomiting. At this time, we can directly boil a few slices of ginger into water to drink, and make sure that the water we drink throughout the day is ginger water. Ginger can detoxify all kinds of poisons. As long as you drink ginger water in time, the symptoms can generally be relieved.

Method 2

If you have diarrhea after eating something spoiled, you can eat some egg yolks, which have the effect of stopping diarrhea. The eggs need to be boiled for a longer time until the yolk is cooked through, and then only the yolk is eaten when eating. This method is very effective. If the egg yolk feels a bit old or dry, you can drink some water.

Method 3

If you eat spoiled food, you can eat some raw garlic, which can effectively relieve diarrhea caused by eating spoiled food. If the situation is particularly serious, be sure to go to the hospital.

Method 4

After eating spoiled food, we can drink some carrot soup. Carrots are alkaline foods and can effectively alleviate the reactions caused by eating spoiled food.

Eating spoiled food may cause indigestion, gastrointestinal inflammation, or food poisoning, depending on how long the food has been spoiled. Therefore, we must be careful not to eat spoiled food, even if we feel it is a pity or a waste. In daily life, you can use some correct methods to preserve food to prevent the possibility of food spoilage.
