Copper Bottle Side Effects: Is it right or wrong to wash it by rubbing it? Know the way of drinking water suggested by doctors

News India Live, Digital Desk: Copper Bottle Side Effects: In the homes of us Indians, drinking water kept overnight in a copper pot or jug ​​is considered an old and auspicious tradition. Grandmothers used to say that this keeps the stomach clean and the body healthy. Keeping this in view, nowadays we all have replaced plastic bottles and bought fancy ‘copper bottles’. Be it office or gym, it is common to see a copper bottle in everyone’s hand. But friends, wait. Are you using it correctly? A renowned surgeon in Mumbai has warned that “incorrect use” of copper utensils can make you sick, or even a victim of copper toxicity. Let us understand in simple language what are those 4 mistakes that we often make.1. ‘Avoid’ sour things, the biggest and common mistake! People put lemon water, juice or vinegar in a copper bottle for weight loss. The doctor says that this is an “alarm bell”. Copper reacts very fast with acid. When combined, it becomes like poison, which can cause stomach ache, vomiting and even stomach ulcers. Keep only plain water in a copper vessel.2. Do not rub the bottle from inside too much. We are so crazy about cleaning that we clean the bottle from inside by rubbing it with an iron awl or a brush. This should not be done at all. When you do this, the copper layer peels off and when you fill it with water, a large amount of copper starts dissolving in the water. It is harmful for the body. To clean it, just use salt and lemon juice gently and wash thoroughly.3. Drink only in the morning, not the whole day. “Excess of everything is bad.” Copper water is beneficial, but it does not mean that you should drink water from the same bottle again and again for 24 hours. Doctor’s advice is that 2-3 glasses a day (especially in the morning on an empty stomach) is enough. If you drink copper water throughout the day, the amount of copper in the body will increase excessively, which can put stress on the liver and kidneys.4. Identification of real copper: Cheap and adulterated bottles are also available in the market. If your bottle has a coating of some other metal inside or is not genuine copper, then it will be of no use. Always buy ‘BPA Free’ and pure copper bottles.
