Everyone should drink water, but how to drink it is not necessarily clear to everyone. Should we drink hot water or cold water? How to drink water is the right choice for our health? Let's introduce these healthy diet knowledge to you.
Next, let's analyze the difference between cold water and hot water in nutrition.
There are many mineral components in natural mineral water or tap water, such as calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc. these minerals exist in the water in a free way. When the cold water is heated, the vast majority of these minerals will be separated out from the water, and will form scale after a long time. Of course, they can not be taken into the human body, and become beneficial nutrients for the body.
Then why do we Chinese still drink hot water? Don't foreigners drink at all? The reasons are as follows:
1. The first is national habits. The traditional Chinese idea is that drinking hot water will make the gastrointestinal tract mild and comfortable, but this factor has little to do with health. If a person only drinks cold water when he is young, there is no concept of intestinal tenderness.
2. Water quality problems. Because of the water quality deviation caused by environmental pollution, the water quality of some domestic urban tap water can not even meet the national standards, so there will be many impurities and microorganisms in tap water or cold water, which can be effectively killed after heating.
3. In fact, foreigners don't drink hot water at all. For example, they drink coffee when it's cold. Just like Chinese people drink tea, it can also keep warm.
In general, if the white water you choose is safe from the perspective of microorganisms, you can drink it directly. After all, the minerals will be destroyed after boiling. But if it's our city's tap water, it's better to boil it before drinking it. You know the truth.
