Beware! Don’t drink these 4 types of water!

1. Don’t treat beverages as water

Excessive consumption of beverages, especially sweet drinks, will increase the burden on the kidneys and even cause kidney stones.

2. Raw water

Raw water that has not been boiled or effectively treated may contain bacteria and many microorganisms that are harmful to human health. It may pose a potential threat to health and may easily cause acute gastroenteritis and some infectious diseases.

3. The water in the water dispenser has not been cleaned for a long time

Most water dispensers use bottled water, which is safe and hygienic if the quality meets the standards.

Compared with the water, the water dispenser itself needs more attention because bacteria may grow when the water dispenser is in use. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will be a safety hazard. It is recommended to clean the water dispenser once every 1 to 2 months.

4. Extra hot water

Frequent consumption of extremely hot food or hot drinks can pose health risks. Food or hot drinks at 65°C or above can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. When overheated food enters the esophagus, it will cause physical damage to the esophageal mucosa. When the mucosa is damaged, gastric acid reflux will also irritate the damaged area. This repeated damage can easily lead to cell canceration, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer.
