Can I drink overnight mineral water?

Water is an indispensable element for the human body. It is also the highest substance in the body. Without water, it is hard to imagine what our lives would be like. Water is both static and dynamic. It is the most precious thing in nature. No living thing can live without water. It is the bridge for regulating the balance in nature. Mineral water is ordinary water without bacteria. It has been disinfected and sterilized and sealed in a container. But if we open the bottle cap and leave it overnight, can we still drink this water? Will bacteria be produced?

To put it simply, mineral water is just ordinary water without bacteria. There aren't any nutrients in it that could cause bacteria to grow. If you pour it into a cup first and the rest is still in the bottle and isn't contaminated, it's absolutely fine to drink it overnight or even for a few nights. But if you drink from the bottle while eating, the food residue in your mouth may be brought into the bottle, which would be bad.

Water that cannot be drunk:

1. Aged water: commonly known as "dead water", which is water that has been stored for a long time without moving. For minors, regular drinking of this kind of water will significantly slow down cell metabolism and affect physical growth and development; for middle-aged and elderly people, it will accelerate aging; the incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer is increasing in many places. According to medical research, this may be related to long-term drinking of aging water. Relevant data show that the toxic substances in aged water also increase with the increase of water storage time.

2. Thousand-boiled water: Thousand-boiled water is water that has been boiled on the stove overnight or for a long time, as well as water that has been boiled repeatedly in an electric water heater. Because this water has been boiled for too long, it contains high levels of non-volatile substances, such as calcium, magnesium, other heavy metal components, and nitrite. Drinking this kind of water for a long time will interfere with the gastrointestinal function of the human body and cause temporary diarrhea and abdominal distension; the toxic nitrite can also cause hypoxia in the body, and in severe cases it can cause coma, convulsions, and even death.

In fact, there are still some requirements for the water we drink. Generally, overnight water cannot be reused. Not only that, it cannot be drunk when it has not been used for a long time. After all, it is drunk into the stomach, so it must be as clean as possible to prevent bacteria from growing in the body. In severe cases, it may cause diarrhea and vomiting, so everyone should pay attention.
