Is water 0 calories?
It can be said that water itself does not contain any heat. For example, boiled water itself does not contain calories, but it contains different minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc and copper. However, some water may contain calories because some substances are added. Take carbonated drinks as an example. There is no heat in the water that only adds carbonated water, but most carbonated drinks will add sugar, which virtually increases the chance of getting fat. For example, a bottle of 500ml coke contains 54-60 grams of sugar, and WHO believes that everyone should consume 25 grams of sugar every day, so a bottle of coke is more than doubled, which is why drinking coke can't replace water.
In addition, functional drinks generally contain more sugar, but because they are mainly used for nutritional supplement after heavy exercise, correct drinking can supplement energy and electrolytes, which is beneficial to health, but drinking in large quantities is risky. There are also some protein drinks, mainly containing a lot of protein, which have no calories and belong to low-calorie drinks.
Will the water expire? How to preserve drinking water?
When we buy bottled water, we may find the expiration date written on the package. Can I continue to drink expired water?
Bottled water will expire.
Although water itself will not expire, bottled water generally has a shelf life. Bottled water is usually packed in plastic. The longer it is stored, the plastic will gradually melt into the water, and the chemicals in the plastic will gradually pollute the water quality, such as bisphenol A. If you drink these polluted water frequently, harmful substances will slowly accumulate in the body, which may endanger intestinal health, immunity and respiratory function. In addition, bottled carbonated water may leak over time and lose its original flavor. So bottled water should be stored in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight. It is recommended to drink before expiration. If it's expired, it's best to throw it away.
Tap water can be stored for 6 months.
According to foreign reports, tap water can be stored and drunk for up to 6 months under the condition of correct storage, at which time the risk of side effects is the lowest. However, everyone should drink tap water poured into the cup as soon as possible, and don't leave it for too long, so as to avoid harmful substances in the air endangering health. Tap water should be stored in clean, sterile food-grade water containers, and stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, for up to 6 months.
