Is it good to drink purified water?

At the entrance of many communities, you can see many purified water vending machines where people can get water when they need it. But some people think that such water is not good. So is it good to drink purified water? In fact, everyone's body needs are different, so the specific type of water to drink should be considered separately. Purified water is not truly pure. It is only relative to the tap water at home and is not suitable for drinking for a long time.

1. It is not safe to drink purified water regularly

The China Green Food Development Center said: "Safety, high quality and nutrition" reflect the quality characteristics of green food. The first characteristic is its safety, that is, the food will not cause harm to the body if consumed in a reasonable manner and in normal amounts. As we all know, an adult needs to drink about 2000 ml of water every day to maintain a balance of water intake and expenditure. If an adult drinks about 2000 ml of purified water every day, will it cause harm to the body in the long run? Professor Jin Riguang of the Water Resources Research Center of Beijing University of Chemical Technology said: "The water molecules in purified water are extremely connected in series and coiled, which is not easy to pass through the cell membrane, causing the beneficial life-related elements in the body to be lost to the body. Some sensitive people are less thirsty the more they drink, and the more they want to drink, which reduces the body's immunity and even causes certain diseases." A cardiovascular disease expert and professor in my country pointed out: "Long-term drinking of soft water with few minerals is one of the causes of atherosclerosis." The Naval Medical Research Institute provided a clinical response: "Zhoushan island soldiers generally felt weak after drinking rainwater for half a year." After testing, it was found that rainwater lacks minerals and its water quality is similar to that of purified water. This is an example of harm to the body caused by a reasonable drinking method and normal drinking amount. Can this be said that purified water is a safe food? In my country, hundreds of millions of adults drink tap water, natural water or mineral water, about 2000 ml of the same amount of purified water, every day. They have been drinking it for more than ten years or even decades and have never heard of or seen a single report of harm to the body. In comparison, it is safe to drink tap water, natural water and mineral water regularly, but it is not safe to drink purified water regularly.

2. Pure water has no nutrition

The China Green Food Development Center said: "In addition to safety, high quality and nutrition are also important characteristics of green food, which are specifically reflected in the green food product standards, requiring it to have excellent sensory characteristics, quality and nutritional value." In this way, green food not only requires excellent sensory characteristics and quality, but also requires excellent nutritional value. Does purified water have excellent nutritional value? The answer is definite: No! As we all know, when purified water is processed, while removing pollutants in the water, it also removes trace elements and macro elements that are essential to the human body. Water is an important way for the human body to obtain minerals, and it is also the main source under special conditions. Professor Wang Zhansheng from the Department of Environment at Tsinghua University emphasized: "At least the current dietary structure of Chinese residents is relatively simple and cannot fully and naturally supplement various elements, so the nutritional benefits of drinking water cannot be ignored." Water nutrition expert and professor of the Healthy Drinking Water Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Promotion Association said: "It has been confirmed that there are nearly 10 trace elements in water that are necessary for the body. With the current dietary structure in my country, many trace elements are difficult to obtain from food and are mainly obtained from water. The absorption rate of calcium in water can reach more than 90%, while the absorption rate of calcium in food is only 30%."

The above article describes the harm caused to the body by drinking purified water for a long time. I believe that friends who have read this have already understood that drinking purified water for a long time is not good for the body. I also hope that everyone eats healthily and does not fall into misunderstandings. The boiled water at home is cleaner and more hygienic, and there will be no problem of lack of trace elements.
