DRINKING WATER STORED IN BRASS VESSELS GOOD FOR HEALTH........................

DRINKING WATER STORED IN BRASS VESSELS GOOD FOR HEALTH........................

Ancient Indian wisdom said that drinking water should be stored in brass vessels for good health and it has been proved scientifically by researchers.

Microbiologists say that water stored in brass containers could help combat many water-borne diseases and should be used by us.Water-borne diseases remain a serious threat in many poor regions of the world,with around 2 million children dying each year from diarrhoea. Efforts to provide safe drinking water have difficulty reaching remote areas.




People believe that traditional brass water containers offer some protection against sickness.It has been found that bacteria are indeed less likely to thrive in brass water pots than in earthenware or plastic ones.
Copper can disrupt biological systems.Pots made of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, shed copper particles into the water they contain. The amount that circulate into the brass water vessels could not harm humans.

Brass water pots also easily outperformed plastic ones, the researchers discovered.

BUT MANY PEOPLE USE PLASTIC DRINKING VESSELS BECAUSE THEY VIEW THEM AS MORE MODERN.
