Scale, I believe you should have encountered in everybody's life. The white granular impurities in the boiled water are scale. At the bottom of the containers we often use to boil or fill water, there is usually a layer of white scale. There is a saying that drinking too much scale can lead to stone disease, which can affect your health. Is that true? Today Yiai Xiaobian will come to talk to you about scale.

Do you really know scale?

Scale is formed after mineral salt is deposited in water and is an insoluble impurity. The main components are calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, magnesium hydroxide, etc. In general, water with a high content of minerals such as calcium and magnesium in the water is called "hard water". During the heating process, some minerals are not evaporated. After the insoluble calcium sulfate and the soluble calcium bicarbonate have been decomposed in it, the released carbon dioxide becomes insoluble calcium carbonate, and substances such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate are released from the water and scale is formed after depositing on the surface of the container.

Does regular drinking of scaled water cause stones?

Have you ever heard that? It is easy to get stones if you drink scaled water regularly. In fact, this statement is wrong. There are many factors contributing to the etiology of stone disease, and there is no conclusive scientific evidence that regular drinking of scaled water is directly related to stone disease. On the contrary, proper intake of hard water may also be beneficial to your health. Because calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate and other minerals in scale are not directly harmful to the body. Calcium and magnesium ions in scales are limited to the concentration of stones, and it has been reported that mineral components in scales are decomposed by gastric acid in the human body, and those that cannot be decomposed are discharged with feces, with negligible effects on the body.

Although scale does not have a special effect on health, hard water with a high content of calcium and magnesium ions tastes dry and unsatisfactory to drink, and it is believed that a layer of white scale will also discourage many people from drinking, so it is best to remove scale. Here we share with you a few tips to get rid of scale. Interested buddies can try it.
