Is it good for pregnant women to drink mineral water frequently?

Pregnant women must pay attention to their health during pregnancy, because physical health directly affects the development of the fetus. If the diet is unscientific, it can easily cause fetal maldevelopment. It is okay for pregnant women to drink mineral water frequently, because mineral water contains relatively more minerals, but it is not recommended to boil the water when drinking mineral water, just heat it slightly.

Can pregnant women drink mineral water?

Pregnant women can drink mineral water. Mineral water generally contains more calcium and magnesium and has a certain hardness. At room temperature, calcium and magnesium are in ionic state and are easily absorbed by the human body, playing a good role in calcium supplementation. Moreover, mineral water is rich in macro- and trace elements that are beneficial to human health. In particular, the reasonable content of trace element indicators specified in the mineral water standards plays a role in disease prevention and health care for the human body. Therefore, pregnant women can drink mineral water, especially calcium magnesium bicarbonate mineral water, strontium metasilicate mineral water, zinc mineral water, lithium mineral water, etc., which are helpful to the development of the fetus and the health of the mother.

Precautions for pregnant women to drink mineral water

1. Do not boil.

When drinking mineral water, it should be drunk unheated, cold or slightly warmed, and not boiled.

Because mineral water generally contains more calcium and magnesium and has a certain hardness, calcium and magnesium are in ionic state at room temperature and are easily absorbed by the human body, playing a good role in calcium supplementation. If calcium and magnesium are easily precipitated with calcium carbonate during boiling, this will not only cause the loss of calcium and magnesium, but also cause sensory discomfort. Therefore, the best way to drink mineral water is at room temperature.

2. Storage conditions.

Store in a dry, cool and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight.

3. The water dispenser must be placed in a cool, dark place and never in direct sunlight to avoid the growth of green algae. If it is really difficult, measures should be taken to add a light-proof cover to the bucket.

4. The opened bucket of water should be drunk within 2-4 weeks in autumn and winter, and within 7-10 days in spring and summer.

5. Do not keep the water dispenser powered on for a long time or boil it repeatedly. Water that has been boiled repeatedly will increase the nitrite content and is not suitable for drinking.

6. Used empty barrels should be placed in a clean place. Do not pour dirty water or throw dirt (such as cigarette butts) into them, which will make it difficult to clean and disinfect the mineral water factory.

7. Water dispensers should be disinfected regularly, preferably once every six months. Avoid secondary pollution and ensure that drinking water is safe, hygienic and beneficial to health.

8. Once bacteria are produced in water, it can be heated to eliminate them.
