The harm of long-term drinking of purified water

Most citizens of this era were drinking purified water. Because many friends think that purified water is relatively clean and free of impurities. Purified water is water that has been filtered by a machine. After the tap water is filtered, the impurities it contains and some trace elements and minerals that are beneficial to the human body are also filtered out. In fact, it is not good to be too pure, because the harm of filtered purified water is more than you think.

More importantly, purified water is usually packed in sealed barrels. Once opened, bacteria will slowly grow. Some friends can drink a bucket of purified water for a long time, so the bacteria content in the water may be several times that of tap water. But the harm of purified water is not just these.

Artificially filtered pure water is a "foreign body" to human cells. After pure water loses its mineral elements, its water structure and function also undergo corresponding changes. The water molecules are excessively connected in series, becoming a coiled structure, which is not easily absorbed by the human body through the cell membrane. Moreover, since this ultra-pure water does not contain any minerals, it has a strong dissolving ability, causing the life-driving elements in human cells to reverse osmosis and be lost out of the body. Therefore, purified water is not only unsuitable for the elderly and children, but also for middle-aged people who lose a lot of salt in their bodies after sweating during exercise. They should not drink purified water in large quantities.

So what kind of water is suitable for long-term drinking? Experts say: We should drink natural water that is unpolluted, undegraded, and meets the physiological needs of the human body. Good natural water should come from high-quality water sources, be slightly alkaline, and be rich in various minerals needed by the human body.

Therefore, knowing the harm of purified water, we should not only drink purified water in our daily lives, especially the elderly and children, who need to absorb more minerals and nutrients from water, so drinking purified water may cause osteoporosis. Therefore, you cannot just drink purified water. The correct approach is to drink natural water for a long time or drink natural water and purified water together.
