What happens if you drink acidic water for a long time

Water is one of the essential substances our body needs. As people pay more attention to water quality. There are many different types of drinking water available on the market today. The most important of these are acidic water and alkaline water. Many people actually don’t know what effects acidic water has on our body. In fact, our body is alkaline. Drinking acidic water frequently may cause an imbalance of acid and alkalinity in the body.

Because acidic drinks taste very refreshing, they are favored by many people. Many people drink acidic drinks every day, but this is very harmful to human health. This bad habit should be changed.

Steps/Methods:

Although acidic beverages can give people a good taste and increase the body's appetite, because the human body's physique should be alkaline to be healthier, this will cause the body's acid-base balance to be disturbed, leading to an acidic physique.

If a person drinks acidic beverages frequently, it will easily reduce the body's resistance and immunity, especially it is easy to cause the occurrence of diseases. If you have an acidic constitution, you should be more careful not to drink acidic beverages.

Drinking a small amount of acidic beverages can help the body increase appetite and is very effective in treating loss of appetite. However, drinking too much will irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing the secretion of gastric juice to be unable to proceed normally, affecting the digestion and absorption of food.

Note:

People must pay more attention to adjusting their eating habits to avoid some adverse factors that may harm human health. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases and protect human health.

The physical and chemical properties of strongly acidic water are as follows: usually the pH is between 2.0 and 3.5, with a high redox potential of 1000mV to 1200mV; dissolved oxygen is between 10ppm and 50ppm; strong oxidizing power; storage life: 1 month in a closed container, 3 days in an open container, the concentration of active chlorine decreases after ultraviolet irradiation; the sterilization speed is fast, but it is slow-acting when there is organic matter or after being neutralized.

Sterilization mechanism

The bactericidal mechanism of strongly acidic water is generally believed to be low pH and high ORP (oxidation-reduction potential). However, some recent studies have shown that it is due to the combined effects of hypochlorous acid and the chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, OH, etc. generated at the same time that the cell components necessary for bacterial survival are decomposed, denatured, and damaged.

Features

① Strong bactericidal power and wide bactericidal spectrum. Tables 2 and 3 show the comparison of the bactericidal effect of strong acidic water and other drugs. It can be seen from the table that strong acidic water begins to show bactericidal effect after 5 seconds. Compared with other drugs, it has a wide bactericidal spectrum and good bactericidal effect.

② Harmless to the human body. Currently, some disinfectants on the market are mostly chemical substances, which are carcinogenic, irritating to the skin, or have bad odors. Secondly, acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid have redox potential.
