Scientists have established that a person will not be able tosurvive without liquid for more than ten days at normal air temperature. The hotter it is outside, the shorter the period - this is natural. The daily norm of water consumption, at which we will feel great, is at least one and a half liters. If you start drinking less, a serious failure will occur in the body: metabolism will be disrupted, the skin will wither and age faster, kidney stones will appear, etc. Water is the source of our life. But, unfortunately, the liquid that flows through our pipes does not correspond to this statement. Impurities, heavy metals, chlorine, sand - this is only a small list of what a lab technician can detect. And this is not to mention the bacteria that still manage to multiply in it. Of course, you can boil water, filter it, process it. But in this case, useful elements also perish. If you settle it in jars, as our mothers and grandmothers did in the past, then not all harmful substances evaporate or settle to the bottom. But there is another rather interesting method of purification – freezing. Surprisingly, melt water has truly magical properties. Its daily use leads to acceleration of metabolism, rejuvenation and improvement of health in general. Nutritionists advise drinking melted liquid for quick weight loss. By the way, many celebrities prefer to cook or buy only such water for this reason.
To drink or not to drink - that is the question
Why you shouldn't drink store-bought melt water
- High probability of buying a fake
Almost all manufacturers claim that theyextract melt water from snow collected in the mountains. When buying a bottle of this life-giving drink, first read the information on the label. It should indicate where and how their product is made. Imagine the harm to your health caused by unprocessed and unfiltered liquid poured straight from the tap.
- Lack of useful properties
Experts say that melted snowor ice cannot be stored for a long time. Think about the benefits of melt water devoid of useful elements? By the way, it contains practically no salts or minerals. Therefore, prolonged use of this liquid can cause irreparable harm to the body. For some reason, some manufacturers forget to report this on the labels. Why you should drink homemade melt water Melt water molecules are more homogeneous. They are smaller in size, so they penetrate the cell membrane more easily. The one that flows from the tap does not have such high indicators. In some cases, it does not even penetrate the membrane. And, therefore, does not participate in the metabolic processes occurring in the body. As a result - premature aging, various diseases, obesity. The benefit of melt water is also that with its help you can get rid of allergies, lose excess weight, reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. It is recommended to take it for ulcers, gastritis and other stomach diseases. However, you must first consult a specialist.
How to prepare melt water
So now you know what the benefits aremelt water. Do you want to start treating yourself with it? Then you need to learn how to prepare the life-giving drink correctly. Of course, you can simply freeze and defrost what flows from the tap. However, in this case, chlorine and some impurities will still remain in the ice cube. The harm from such a liquid is exactly the same as from ordinary one. To begin with, you should prepare a container of the appropriate size for freezing ice and storing melt water. Plastic containers that can withstand constant temperature changes can be purchased in regular supermarkets. When choosing the right volume, calculate that one person needs six glasses of liquid for two days (i.e. 1200 ml). Simple freezing in plastic First, you should filter the water poured from the tap to remove all large impurities. You are unlikely to be pleased with such additives in a glass as rust, stones, sand, etc. To reduce the harm from chlorine, let the liquid settle for at least a day in a dark and cool place. During this time, all volatile components will evaporate. On the second day, pour clean water into a special container and place it in the freezer for eight hours. Anything that does not freeze during this time should be immediately poured into the sink. This is where the substances and impurities that are harmful to our health remain. Place the container in boiling water for thirty seconds. After you take out the ice, place it in an enamel or porcelain pan. Leave it to melt on the table at room temperature. Never heat it on the stove or in the microwave. Heat treatment will cause irreparable harm to the healing liquid. Freezing in glass containers Some experts say that storing and freezing water in plastic containers is harmful to your health. When heated and cooled, the liquid will absorb the chemicals released by the plastic. Therefore, it is better to use heat-resistant glass. So, first filter the water. Pour it into a bottle, leaving a third empty, and put it in the freezer. If there is more, it will simply burst or crack in the refrigerator. Defrost in the same way as in the previous case. By the way, it is better to take distilled liquid for making ice. It goes through several stages of purification, so it will contain a minimum amount of harmful impurities and bacteria. And useful ones, unfortunately, too. Freezing boiled water Filtered water should be boiled in an enamel pan. Try to turn off the liquid before large bubbles begin to appear on the surface. After that, cool it and pour into containers. When defrosting, make sure that the middle does not have time to melt. Please note that the healing liquid prepared in this way should be drunk within the next six hours. After this time, it loses all its beneficial properties. Of course, the harm from it will be less than from ordinary water that flows from our taps.
How to use melt water properly
To ensure that melt water brings benefits and not harm,learn how to use it correctly. First, do not abuse it. Do not try to use it everywhere (for tea, for cooking, and to quench your thirst). Drink three to four glasses of melted liquid daily. It is recommended to drink melt water 30-40 minutes before you sit down at the dinner table. Second, do not pour completely defrosted liquid into a glass. If you did not have time to throw out the part with impurities, pour out everything. You can’t even imagine what harm the substances remaining in the water can cause. Try to make ice again, but do not forget to set a timer. By the way, only a few manage to make the perfect drink the first time. To make your task easier, you can grind everything in an icebreaker. Add frozen ice cubes to melt water - this will extend its shelf life. Be careful! Drink the drink in small sips so as not to catch a cold or get a sore throat. Do not drink hot tea, coffee, etc. for the next 20-30 minutes. Otherwise, your tooth enamel may crack or your gums may start to ache. To reduce the harm of melt water, introduce it into your diet gradually. Start with 100 milliliters per day so that your body has time to get used to the liquid, completely purified from impurities, salts, minerals and additives. Based on your lifestyle and body weight, increase the daily intake to 700-1200 ml. Please note that this is not a medicine or a panacea. Do not stop the treatment prescribed by your doctor under any circumstances! Use this remedy only for disease prevention or to cleanse your body. Always consult with your doctor first.
