Water is the source of life, 60% of the human body is water, it can be said that water can not only supply our life activities but also an important part of our life activities.
Every part of our life activities is accompanied by the cooperation of water, so timely replenishment of water in daily life has become a vital part of human activities.
Drinking water can help maintain the water balance in the body, promote metabolism, help digestion and absorption, promote heart health, etc., and can also help beauty lovers.
Adults need to drink 1.5L-2L of water every day to maintain daily life activities, so we must ensure the quality of drinking water while ensuring the amount of water we drink.
Drinking enough water can maintain the normal needs of our life activities, so the health of drinking alcohol directly affects our physical health.
In daily life, there are many kinds of water for us to choose from, such as pure water, mineral water, cool white water, etc., and it can be said that there are many varieties of water on the market.
Compared with these expensive waters, many people think that it is cost-effective to drink boiled water, because tap water is boiled, and all kinds of microorganisms and bacteria in the water are killed by high temperature sterilization.
For water boiling tools, many families choose to use water dispensers, and many families use electric kettles.
However, some people say that long-term use of electric kettles to boil water will cause cancer, and the manganese substances in the kettle will damage the human nervous system, etc., so will long-term use of electric kettles really lead to cancer or poisoning?
1. Whether the electric kettle is harmful and how to choose it correctly
The electric kettle that we use every day in our lives is now facing a lot of rumors.
Some people say that drinking water from an electric kettle for a long time is easy to cause cancer, some people say that there is manganese in the electric kettle, which will cause cancer if you drink it every day, and some people say that his family drinks water from an electric kettle every day, and it is okay to drink it for several years.
So today we will prove the "innocence" of the electric kettle.
The reason why there is a saying that drinking a kettle causes cancer is because there are two kinds of stainless steel kettles, one is a high-tech steel material, and the other is our common stainless steel, these two materials are not seen in daily life, and the material can be determined according to the manual.
The main components of stainless steel that we are familiar with are nickel and chromium, but due to the high price of nickel, in order to save costs, it is replaced by low-cost manganese by unscrupulous merchants.
Due to the change of raw materials, many people are worried about the problem of excessive manganese.
First of all, we need to make it clear that manganese is not a toxic element, but an essential trace element for our body's metabolism, which can help the body's metabolism, nerve development, calcium absorption, etc., which need the help of manganese to complete.
There is no problem with the intake of trace amounts of manganese in daily life, of course, if the intake is excessive, it will indeed bring health problems to the body, if the manganese element precipitates more in the human body, the manganese element accumulated in the body will cause metal poisoning, muscle pain, dizziness and fatigue.
But in fact, the manganese in the kettle is not a threat to health.
Professor Xiong of Beijing University of Chemical Technology gave a more scientific explanation: although the electric kettle contains manganese, this element cannot be released in our daily use, even if the water is boiled continuously for 1000 hours, and the kettle is kept boiling, only manganese ions are released.
In addition, the acceptable manganese content in the human body is 10 ml a day, and it is difficult for the electric kettle to release potassium, plus the human body has a certain tolerance, so the electric kettle will not lead to excessive manganese.
To sum up, we can see that the normal use of electric kettles in daily life will not cause us to drink "manganese", let alone cancer due to excessive manganese, and electric kettles are not the cancer killers in our lives.
We should stay away from the water that is boiled, drink it directly, which will easily lead to esophageal cancer, if the water in the water dispenser at home is more than seven days, we should also pay attention to try not to drink it, the bacteria and microorganisms accumulated here are seriously exceeded, and it is not good for our body.
2. How to use the electric kettle correctly
There is no harm in electric kettle, but we must keep our eyes open when choosing a kettle, and we must pay attention to this problem when using the kettle.
Two suggestions for the "selection" and "use" of the kettle, after adoption, ensure that you can drink healthy water.
The first thing you need to pay attention to is to choose the right kettle for you.
The materials of the more common electric kettles on the market are divided into: glass, stainless steel and ceramic.
The most common electric kettle is stainless steel, when purchasing, we must pay attention to choosing a kettle with food-grade words, the implementation standard is GB9684-2011, with such words are in line with national standards, after national inspection into the market.
If you choose a glass electric kettle, try to choose a kettle made of borosilicate glass, which is more stable and safer to use.
Ceramic kettles are not common in life, but if you buy them, try to choose one with no patterns and colors on the inner wall, which is more beneficial to the health of boiling water.
In addition to the above requirements when buying an electric kettle, you can also see whether it is easy to use according to the evaluation of many netizens, whether it is easy to scale, whether there is no problem with boiling water, no strange smell, etc., and then place an order after comprehensive opinions from all parties.
The second is the use of electric kettles.
When using an electric kettle, it is often found that after using the kettle for a period of time, something yellow will appear at the bottom of the kettle, but it is difficult to remove, which is the scale generated during the cooking process.
Although limescale does not cause stones and affects people's health, it can affect the health of the kettle.
If limescale is present in large quantities in the kettle, it will affect the heating of the kettle, and if people drink such water, it will cause health problems such as tartar, periodontitis and muscle weakness.
Cleaning up limescale is a very simple thing to do, using baking soda, which is an alkaline substance that can neutralize limescale.
Put an appropriate amount of baking soda in an electric kettle, and then heat and boil the precipitation, and the scale will naturally fall off, or you can apply the baking soda to the limescale and wipe it with a towel.
With the above methods, we will soon be able to get a "brand-new" kettle, which will be cleaned in this way, and it will be very shiny as if it were new.
If there is a lot of limescale, you can use vinegar to clean up, also pour the vinegar into the electric kettle, let the kettle boil, because the main element of limescale is calcium and magnesium, they will disappear under the neutralization of white vinegar.
Vinegar and baking soda are common kitchen seasonings in our lives, so go clean up your kettle.
3. How to drink water correctly
Now that we've learned how to use an electric kettle to boil healthy water, how do you drink water that is best for your body?
It is important to pay attention to drinking water in moderation. Many people know the benefits of drinking water, and drink a lot of water every day, knowing that if you drink too much water, it will lead to water poisoning, and the stomach will feel bloating and painful, affecting our appetite.
We must drink water in rations, and the average adult needs 1.5L-2L of water. For people who exercise regularly, you can drink more water, and you can follow the above ration in your daily life.
Be sure to drink water in small amounts and many times, rather than drinking too much water at once.
In life, we can prepare a water cup at work or at home, but it doesn't need to be too big, generally 200ml can be drunk, you can drink a glass of water each time, so that you won't feel pressure, if you drink a big cup at once, it will increase the burden on the kidneys for the body.
Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water, make it a habit to drink water in your life, rather than forcing yourself to drink water.
Forcing ourselves to drink water, drinking a lot of water at once, will not only not be good for our body, but will also increase the burden on our body.
Learn to drink water actively, in the early morning, before going to bed, after exercise, after meals, at work, etc., it is very suitable for drinking water, do not take drinking water as a task, but learn to enjoy the process of drinking water.
summary
The electric kettle we use regularly will not cause cancer or damage to the mental system.
If people drink water from an electric kettle for a long time, it will not cause the problem of excessive heavy metals, even if they drink water with scale, it will not cause stones, and these rumors do not need to cause panic.
When using a kettle in life, we must pay attention to the way of use, first of all, for safety reasons, we must choose a big brand of electric kettle with a good reputation, so that it is safe and secure.
When using the electric kettle, we should pay attention to cleaning the scale of the electric kettle frequently, and at the same time learn to choose the right water source and use it correctly and safely, so as to ensure that we drink water healthily every day.
In addition to the use of electric kettles, we should also pay attention to the way of drinking water, and try to consume enough water every day according to our physical condition, and pay attention to drinking healthy water.
When the electric kettle brings convenience to our lives, it does bring certain problems, and I hope that through today's introduction, you can understand that if you use the electric kettle correctly, and all kinds of rumors about the electric kettle do not need to be listened to.
For many rumors, we must maintain a scientific attitude to listen, rather than blindly following them.
For the life activities of the human body, drinking water is indeed a science, what kind of water to drink, how much water to drink, when to drink water, etc., these problems will affect our health, so we must learn to drink water scientifically and reasonably.
