Is it good to drink purified water for a long time

Everyone thinks that purified water is the cleanest water, so people often buy a lot of purified water to drink when they are thirsty. Some people even use purified water to cook. So is it good to drink purified water in large quantities for a long time? What harm does purified water do to the body? Today, the editor has sorted out a lot of questions about whether it is good to drink purified water for a long time. Let us learn about it together;

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. Everyone knows that 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 pure water every day, will it cause harm to the body in the long run? Professor Jin Riguang from the Water Resources Research Center of Beijing University of Chemical Technology said, "The water molecules in pure water are extremely connected in series and coiled in structure, which makes it difficult for them to pass through cell membranes, causing the body's beneficial life-related elements to be lost to the body. Some sensitive people find that the more they drink, the less thirsty they are. The more they drink, the more they want to drink, which reduces the body's immunity and even causes certain diseases." A professor and cardiovascular disease expert 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: "Soldiers on the Zhoushan islands generally felt fatigued 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 pure water. This is an example of harm to the body caused by proper drinking methods and normal drinking amounts. Does this mean that purified water is a safe food? Hundreds of millions of adults in my country drink the same amount of tap water, natural water or mineral water as purified water (about 2000 ml) every day. They have been drinking it for more than ten years or even decades and have never heard of or seen any reports 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 pure water is processed, while removing pollutants from 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. The editor also hopes that everyone will eat healthily and 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.
