Can children drink purified water? Can children drink soda water?

In our daily life, in addition to boiled water, we also have purified water and soda water. So can children drink purified water or soda water? What is the difference between soda water and purified water?

You can drink a little, but not for a long time. The concentration difference between inside and outside the cell is the driving force for water absorption through osmosis. The mineral content of purified water is too low, resulting in a large difference between the two, which will cause absorption disorders. In addition, long-term drinking of purified water will also cause children to lack certain minerals, and some industrial raw materials used in the purification process of purified water may have adverse effects on the liver function of infants and young children.

You can drink soda water, because soda water can alkalize the child's urine. When the child has urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, it is more appropriate to drink soda water. After giving the child soda water, the urinary tract irritation symptoms will be significantly relieved. Many children eat more meat foods, which are acidic foods and will cause excessive acid substances in the child's body. Soda water is an alkaline beverage. Giving children soda water can help the acid-base balance in the child's body. However, you must control the amount of soda water you give your child, and it is not advisable to drink too much soda water.

1. Different sources: Soda water is an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, which is weakly alkaline and can be used for disinfection and sterilization in medicine. Soda water can be formed naturally, or it can be quickly dissolved by a machine or using weak alkaline effervescent tablets or soda effervescent tablets. Purified water refers to H2O without impurities, referred to as purified water or pure water. It is pure and clean water without impurities or bacteria. It is made by electrodialysis, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, distillation and other appropriate processing methods, sealed in a container, and does not contain any additives. It is colorless and transparent and can be drunk directly.

2. Different taste: Soda water is artificially produced, so it may contain some sweeteners, which makes it taste slightly sweet and taste better. Purified water does not contain any additives, and its taste is not much different from boiled water, and it has almost no taste.

It is not recommended to drink purified water for a long time. Drinking purified water for a long time is not good for the body. Purified water contains relatively few minerals, or some purified water does not contain minerals at all, so purified water is an acidic drink.

1. Long-term drinking of acidic beverages can destroy the acid-base balance in the body, causing the body to become overly acidic, which can cause certain immune dysfunctions, thus leading to decreased immunity and weakened disease resistance.

2. Purified water contains relatively few minerals, which will cause trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients in the body to dissolve quickly with the water and be excreted from the body. Therefore, drinking purified water for a long time will cause the body's nutrition to become unbalanced.

3. Purified water contains relatively few minerals, so it also contains relatively few negative oxygen ions. Drinking purified water for a long time will cause a deficiency of trace elements.
