Drink RO water purifier purified water, really will be “no nutrition”?

Recently, there are a lot of partners in the background asked me a question: "water purifier filtered water is not nutritious? Will drinking it for a long time be bad for the body?" To be honest, this question is really representative, because it concerns the basic needs of life that we all have to face every day - drinking water!

Today, we will talk about this topic. In the end, RO reverse osmosis water purifier water has no nutrition? Drinking such water, what exactly is the impact on health? We do not engage in profound and complex terminology, with the most simple and easy to understand way, to make this clear.

What is RO reverse osmosis water purifier?

First of all, let's talk about what RO reverse osmosis water purifier is in the end. Simple to understand, this machine is a high-tech version of the “fine sieve”. It has a very powerful membrane inside, called “RO membrane” (Reverse Osmosis Membrane), the pore size is many times smaller than a hair, the tap water impurities, heavy metals, and even bacteria and viruses are blocked, only to allow pure water molecules through.

When you hear it like that, you might think, “Wow, isn't that great, getting rid of all the dirt!” But also because it is filtered too clean, many people began to worry: that is not even good for the human body minerals and trace elements are filtered out?

RO purified water, really no nutrition?

Let's start with the conclusion: strictly speaking, RO reverse osmosis treatment of pure water does not contain almost any minerals or trace elements. Because it pursues a “high degree of purity”, even calcium and magnesium, which are naturally present in ordinary drinking water, will be filtered out.

Are you getting nervous? Don't be! Although it seems to lose some “nutrients”, but you know what - these so-called minerals from the drinking water, in fact, the impact on our health is minimal!

Tip: Minerals are mainly taken in by food

Many people may mistakenly believe that most of the minerals and trace elements we need every day come from drinking water. But in fact, according to scientific research, humans get less than 1% of minerals such as calcium and magnesium from drinking water! It's our daily diet, such as milk, vegetables, fruits and nuts, that actually provides these nutrients. So, is it possible to put the worry of “no nutrients” to rest a little bit?

Why do we need to choose cleaner “unpolluted” water?

Back to real life, tap water in addition to “beneficial” minerals, there are many we do not want, should not be ingested but have to face the problem:

1. Heavy metals in the city pipeline old, contaminated water sources and other issues, will lead to residual lead, mercury and other heavy metals in the tap water. And these things, even if a small amount into the human body, may be long-term accumulation, triggering chronic poisoning.

2. Residual chlorine and carcinogenic by-products in order to disinfect and sterilize the water company will add chlorine, but if the transport process and some organic matter combined, it may generate “trihalomethanes” and other potentially carcinogenic, this is not a joke.

3. microbial impurities even boiling may not be able to completely kill some heat-resistant germs, not to mention sand and rust such as the naked eye visible particles of ...... So, rather than obsessing about whether RO filtration takes away a little bit of the “benefits” of the irrelevant, it is better to be glad that it helps! we So, instead of worrying about whether RO filtration has taken away a few insignificant “benefits”, let's be glad that it has helped us shield ourselves from those dangerous and troublesome problems in our lives.

Tip: Children and the elderly are more suitable for pure, safe drinking

For children with weakened immune system and the elderly with decreased metabolism, clean, pollution-free and pure drinking is obviously more friendly. You can choose the most suitable equipment for yourself according to your family members.

Pure ≠ unhealthy, the key depends on your living habits

Of course, I know there are still some friends who are worried: “Since it's so clean, it won't work to drink this kind of ‘monotonous’ for a long time, right?” In fact, the solution to this problem is particularly simple, that is - balanced diet + reasonable supplementation! For example:

- usually eat more calcium and magnesium-rich snacks, such as almonds or sesame seeds;

- according to the need to choose the market's mineral-rich cartridges with the use of (many brands have this feature);

- daily attention to the structure of the meal, diversified intake of the required nutrients... ...In this way, there is no hidden danger of the so-called “lack of nutrients”! Moreover, compared to the potential risks brought by those uncontrollable factors, this “small regret” is really nothing, it is not worth mentioning~!

How to buy a reliable home RO unit?
Finally, let's give you a few more suggestions for selection. If you decide to start RO reverse osmosis equipment, must remember to pay attention to the following points:

- brand quality: big brand usually mature technology, perfect after-sales service;

- cartridge life and replacement cost: regular maintenance is the key, don't be greedy for cheap ignore the subsequent investment;

- wastewater rate: now on the market has been Wastewater rate: now the market has a low wastewater balance technology products, more resource-saving!

Tip: look at the feedback of the neighbors, always not wrong ~ buy before asking more people around you have been used, they stepped on which pit may be able to help you save a lot of things!
