Maintaining health is a big issue today. Therefore, from food to water you should take only hygienic things. When it comes to water, you should always drink purified water that is stored in a good quality container.
You need to be attentive while buying a new water container, because it could affect rest of your life. Many serious diseases are caused because of using inappropriate containers. Such containers are made up of some chemicals that react badly to water and enters our body through it.
One of the frequently used water container is plastic but it is very injurious to our health. Plastic constitutes of some harmful chemicals, which are leaked into water and make it contaminated and unsafe for drinking.
Plastic contain two harmful chemicals, one is BPA (Bisphenol-A) and other is phthalate. Both of these are water soluble and when you store water in a plastic container, these chemicals dissolve in water and come into your body. These chemicals are so harmful that they can cause cancer. Hence use of plastic is very injurious to our health.
Therefore, a plastic container decreases the purity level of water and also changes its taste. The dangerous characteristics added to the stored water by these containers are very poisonous and affects the health of user.
One other container used to store water is glass. It is not at all harmful for our health. It does not contain any chemical that gets dissolved in water and make it unfit for drinking. They don't even require any inner coating to store water. That is the reason, why glass is preferred over plastic to store water.
When it comes to choosing a water container, one should go for stainless steel as it is tough, robust and not very costly. It keeps the water as it is and does not add any adulterant to it.
Hence, don't buy drinking water containers unless they are made of glass, stainless steel or carry a tag that says, BPA free. Drink to your health, with glass.
