Boiled Water Mistakes: 3 Habits Quietly Harming Your Health

• Reboiling water increases toxic chemical concentration (nitrates, arsenic, fluoride), damaging kidneys and digestion.
• Over-boiling for 20-30 minutes depletes oxygen, affecting hydration and taste; 5-10 minutes is sufficient.
• Storing hot boiled water in low-quality plastic leaches harmful BPA, risking hormonal imbalance and cancer.
• Experts advise boiling for 2-3 minutes after bubbling, cooling naturally, and using within 24 hours.
• Store boiled water in glass, steel, or copper containers, always keeping it covered to maintain purity.

Why It Matters: Boiled water is healthy, but incorrect boiling or storage can introduce toxins and reduce benefits.
