DON'T RE-BOIL WATER

Most people believe that boiling water is one of the best means to purify it. We all boil water for making the rejuvenating drink- tea, or making soups, or any other hot drink. But, after boiling if some water is left behind, what do we do? We normally re-boil it again for some other use, right?

But now experts are warning against re-boiling the left over boiled water. As with any other liquids, when we boil it again, it thickens, the same happens to water too, increasing or concentrate the dissolved salts in the water.

Some of the harmful things that happen when we re-boil water-
1) Changes in the chemistry of water- Boiling water will reduce or alter the amount of dissolved gases in it. This will not only alter the taste of water but also increase the amount of unwanted chemicals and salts in the water.
2) Amount of nitrate- Nitrate salts usually dissolved in water are not harmful. But re-boiling the same amount of water, can change the nitrates into toxin- nitrosamine, which is carcinogenic, leading to some cancers.
3) Calcium- Yes, calcium is good for our bones and teeth. But re-boiling increases the dissolved amount of calcium, which can lead to the formation of kidney and gall-bladder stones.
4) Arsenic- Re-boiling will increase the amount of arsenic in the water.Arsenic in greater amount can cause cancer, heart attacks, mental disorder, infertility. Prolonged use of reboiled water can cause skin and circulatory system damages.
5) Fluoride- Increased levels of fluoride in re-boiled water can lead to bone damages, making our bones brittle, leading to more fractures, tenderness and pain. Younger children can damages their teeth and tooth enamel with excess fluoride in water.

Kindly do not use re-boiled water to make babies formula, as it contains less oxygen and more unwanted salts and metals. So, always boil the exact amount of water you need each time. Moreover, water becoming a scarce commodity in many places around the globe, don't waste this precious liquid.
