Water is the most essential element to sustain life on this planet. 70 per cent of human body is made up of water. You may have not known this but in ancient times, our ancestors and even our grandmothers followed the practice of storing water in containers made of copper. Their aim was probably to safeguard drinking water but there's more to the story. In today's modern world where we have UV filters and RO purifiers to purify water, the storage of water in metal containers may sound old-fashioned and not needed. Storing water in a copper vessel creates a natural purification process. It can kill all the microorganisms, molds, fungi, algae and bacteria, present in the water that could be harmful to the body and make the water perfectly fit for drinking. In addition, water stored in a copper vessel, preferably overnight or at least for four hours, acquires a certain quality from the copper. Copper is an essential trace mineral that is vital to human health. It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps neutralize toxins. Drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water that has been stored in a copper vessel is another easy way to supply your body with enough copper. In addition to that, here are 12 reasons why drinking water from a copper vessel is beneficial for you: 1. Helps the digestive system perform better 2. Aids weight loss 3.Helps heal wounds faster 4. Slows down ageing 5.Helps maintain heart health and beats hypertension 6. Mitigates the risk of cancer 7. Protects you from infections 8. Regulates the working of the thyroid gland 9.
