Know About Copper Water Bottles

Water is one of the most important elements of life. Without water, there would be no life! Transparent, odourless, colourless and tasteless, water is essential for most living organisms even though it is a known fact that the liquid does not have any organic nutrients in it. The human body, especially, relies heavily on water since it uses this fluid for almost all the important body functions. 60 to 70% of our body is made up of water. What’s more, human blood is 90% water!

It is improbable that someone could survive without any water for more than a couple of days. So, when we are talking about an indispensable element like water, shouldn’t we think about the quality of water we drink? 

Benefits of drinking adequate water
We need at least eight glasses of water in a day since it serves various purposes that no other substance can serve.
Here are a few essential functions that water primarily fulfils:

• Water regulates body temperature
• It flushes out toxins and waste
• It helps in forming saliva and mucus
• It keeps our joints lubricated, avoiding friction
• It cushions internal parts such as the spinal cord, brain, and tissues
• It helps in maintaining normal blood pressure levels
• It enables the blood to carry oxygen to all parts of the body
• It promotes healthy skin
• It is essential for our kidneys
• It helps to lose weight
• It pushes minerals and other nutrients to different parts of the body
• It supports the digestive system and regulates metabolism

It is no secret that staying hydrated is key to maintaining good health, but on an average, we fail to maintain the required intake of water on a daily basis.

Using copper bottles to store drinking water

Storing and drinking from a copper vessel, Tamra jal, is an ancient Ayurvedic practice. Before we had so many fancy water filters, people used copper for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. In Sanskrit tamara translates as copper and jal water. Tamra jal balances all three doshas and is typically consumed by yogis first thing in the morning as part of their daily meditation practice. Tamra jal has a host of health benefits including boosting immunity, conducting spiritual energy, and reducing inflammation in the body. Below are the advantage of using copper bottles to store drinking water...

• Kills microorganisms present in the water
• Gets rid of molds, fungi, bacteria, and algae
• Adds copper’s qualities to water
• Neutralizes any toxins present in the water
• Prevents water-borne diseases
• Keeps our digestive system healthy
• Fights anaemia
• Regulates the functioning of the thyroid gland
• Stimulates the brain and improves its functioning
• Slows down the ageing process

What you need to know about storing drinking water

What is also interesting is the fact that most households in India use plastic bottles to store water. Prolonged usage of recycled or low-grade plastic bottles for the storage of drinking water can lead to more harm than you think. Our ancestors, for centuries, relied on copper containers to store water. However, this trend seems to have died out over the last century or so. If we were to refer to ancient Ayurveda texts and modern science-backed studies, this method of drinking water storage would come up trumps compared to any other means.

In a world that is obsessed with RO purifiers, UV filters and a whole lot of made-up marketing jargon, the concept of using copper vessels for drinking water storage may sound archaic to most people.   

However, this concept is anything but outdated. Did you know that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (or EPA) has officially registered copper as the only solid material that successfully kills bacteria and protects human beings from potential health risks? The oligodynamic effect (copper ions dissolving in water) works wonders on drinking water when it is stored in a copper utensil or bottle for more than 8 hours, eliminating any harmful entities present therein.

Cleaning tips of copper water bottle

A newly-purchased copper bottle or vessel needs to be cleaned before you use it for the first time. You can follow the steps given below for cleaning/rinsing your copper bottles:

• Step 1: Wash the copper bottle with normal water
• Step 2: Use a mixture of lime, salt, and vinegar to clean the inside portion of the bottle
• Step 3: Use mild soapy water to clean the outer surface
• Step 4: Rinse the bottle with normal water and leave it to dry

Make sure you avoid using harsh detergents, soaps or scrubs on either the inside or the outside of a copper bottle, since this may damage the surface. Due to oxidation, it is natural and completely normal for copper bottles to get stained or darken in colour with time, but cleaning them using the aforementioned step-wise process can ensure that your bottles stay clean and last longer.
