Drink freshly boiled water because its temperature is extremely high, which can burn the mucous membrane of the mouth and esophagus, and even cause esophageal cancer. In addition, the water quality in some areas is poor, and the impurities and harmful substances in the water after boiling may not be completely removed, and drinking it directly may cause harm to the body.
To ensure safe drinking water, we should let it cool naturally to a suitable temperature after boiling it before drinking. If you want to cool the water quickly, you can pour hot water into a large container, then add the appropriate amount of ice or cold water, and stir well. If you want to drink water at the right temperature more easily and quickly, you can choose to buy an electric kettle, which has a temperature control function that automatically boils the water and cools it to the right temperature.
In addition to paying attention to drinking water safety, we also need to pay attention to controlling the amount of water we drink every day. In general, adults need to drink 15-2 liters of water, but the specific amount of water to drink needs to be determined according to the individual's weight, gender, age, exercise and other factors. If you drink too little water, it will lead to a lack of water in your body and affect your health. If you drink too much water, it can lead to water poisoning, which is also harmful to your health.
Therefore, we should develop good drinking habits, drink water regularly and quantitatively, and do not wait until we are thirsty to drink water. In addition, we should avoid drinking raw water, water that has been stored for a long time, and unboiled water to avoid harm to the body. Finally, let's develop healthy drinking habits and stay healthy!
