Since childhood, many of us have heard that it is impossible to dilute hot tea with non -fought water, because this can cause digestive violation. We decided to figure out if this recommendation has a scientific rationale.

Periodically users on the network Interested, is it possible to mix boiled and raw water. Discussion of this issue appears not only in Runnbut also on foreign resources Reddit And Quora. The answer was given to him "Popular mechanics", "Rambler/female", channel “Scientific. Science for everyone ".

There are several versions explaining why it is harmful to add raw water to boiled. According to one of them, non -fed water - “living”, and after boiling it becomes “dead”: beneficial substances under the influence of high temperatures are destroyed. It is believed that "living" and "dead" water has a different structure, so their mixing causes intestinal disorder.

In fact, water is a simple molecule. The oxygen atom is insidious with two hydrogen atoms. When heated, water can turn into steam, but chemically remains unchanged. There are no vitamins in the water, but there may be impurities and bacteria.

A hundred years ago, many drank water from wells, and it could contain pathogenic organisms, which can only be rid of boiling. Not knowing the reasons, but simply from life experience, people considered raw water dangerous to their health and tried not to add it to drinks or dishes. The historical memory of this, apparently, is the main reason why people are afraid to mix boiled and raw water so far.

Now we use a modern water supply and filters or buy bottled water. To understand whether it is possible to add it, let's figure out which water is better cleaned.

Water water. Almost 90% of Russians Live in houses with a central water supply. Water Multistable cleaning passes And it is considered suitable for drinking. But the quality of water may differ from the region to the region, and the residual concentration of the disinfectant is also preserved in it - chlorine.

Filtered water. For many, the use of home filters is an alternative to water purification with boiling. Built -in reverse osmosis filters All impurities are so well removed that the water after this may require artificial mineralization. But most often people use filter-puppies and forget to regularly change cartridges, because of which in them Bacteria begin to multiply. And the benefits of such water are very conditional.

Boldwood. According to the VTsIOM survey, 16% of Russians regularly drink bottled water. In principle, this is the same filtered waterbut spilled in plastic containers. With improper storage, like Reminds Rospotrebnadzor, such water after a while can become dangerous to health.

Boiled water. Water boiling is a simple and effective way to purify water and kill harmful bacteria. Recommended Bring the water to 100 ° C and hold on fire for at least one more minute. One study showed that the system of instant boiling along with water filtration reduce the concentration of by -disinfection of drinking water about 90%. When even a little raw water is added to boiled water, the liquid becomes non-fed.

If you are confident as filtered, bottled or tap water, then it can be completely mixed with boiled water. And if you have doubts, then use water only after boiling. It is 100% disinfecting water, so it cannot cause diarrhea or other digestive disorders.
