Could the water expire? Did you ever feel a change in the taste of the water in the cup or the bottle that is not sealed the next day?

There are many studies that have proven that water loses its properties, because it not only consists of H20 molecules but also contains a lot of other molecules and ions that can change its normal taste when left for a while.

Throughout its presence in the cup or bottle, water is subjected to some chemical reactions, because it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, which changes the natural pH of the water and makes it more acidic, according to what a “healthy” website said.

Experts advised to avoid drinking from an untightly sealed cup or bottle in which the water has remained for more than a day, because this may expose you to pollution and facilitate a decrease in the pH of the stomach, which helps the growth of bacteria and algae and makes them increase in growth, and the longer the time of leaving the water, the more harmful bacteria that are You could be exposed.

In addition, the leftover bottle or cup with water contains particles and bacteria that come through the saliva and sweat that spread into the bottle or cup through the lips.

And always care must be taken to consume water in sufficient quantities, as water constitutes about 70% of the body, as it helps to control body temperature and pressure, and is an important element to dissolve nutrients, salts and vitamins, and it also helps in the processes of digestion and absorption of nutrients, and contributes to the elimination of toxins and waste , As well as energy production, as well as preserving the freshness and beauty of the skin, and its deficiency causes dryness and imbalance in the body’s vital processes, which lead to death or coma.
