Why Drinking Water From a Clay Pot is Better Than Drinking From Plastic

Plastic water bottles have been getting a lot of negative press lately. However, what many people don’t realize is that the water coming out of your tap isn’t much better than the water in your plastic bottle especially if you live in an area where the municipal water supply has chlorine added to it, which most tap water does. Not only that, but these plastic bottles end up in landfills, polluting our environment and filling our oceans with trash. The solution?

Clay pot makes water alive

The clay pot releases bio-electricity when it comes in contact with water. This produces an electrolytic field around and inside of it. The electrons are extracted from water and circulated to neutralize free radicals throughout your body. You can imagine you’re drinking healthy mineral water, not tap water, once you drink from a clay pot. Also, because clay absorbs toxins and bacteria within it, especially when used regularly for preparing water, you are avoiding all kinds of harmful substances in tap water such as fluoride and chlorine or other dangerous chemicals that may be present. In addition to that, it removes heavy metals such as lead & mercury that might be present in our food as well (canned fish or others) because they get stuck into pores within clay itself.

Health benefits

The health benefits of clay pot water are considerable, especially when compared to tap water or plastic. Clay pots create water that is high in vital minerals, including sodium and potassium. These minerals have an alkalizing effect on our bodies and balance out acidity in our systems. Plastic bottles often contain bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to an array of health conditions including heart disease, obesity, and cancer. BPA has no effect on taste—it’s undetectable by human taste buds—but it does add up over time. When we drink from plastic bottles frequently, we absorb small amounts of BPA with every sip.

The advantages of clay pot water for pregnant women

Health experts say that if pregnant women drink water from clay pots, it can help them with their health. As pregnant women are more vulnerable to microorganisms and bacteria, it’s very important for them to be healthy. Drinking water from clay pots can save them from acquiring various diseases because clay pots don’t transfer any disease-causing organisms into water or beverages. But plastic cups and bottles do get easily infected with germs, fungi and other microscopic organisms which can lead to different kinds of diseases in humans. Moreover, these microscopic organisms may find their way into our stomach when we drink anything kept in a plastic cup or bottle. Drinking water on an empty stomach early in morning is not at all good for children because it causes loss of appetite during their growth stage.

History

The art of making clay pots, called brazing, has existed in China for several thousand years. Brazed-clay pots are known to better regulate water temperature and reduce unwanted chemicals from leaching into your drink. Although there are many industrial factories that still make high-quality clay pots for everyday use, there is also a growing trend in villages and communities where brazers have begun creating these vessels at home uusinggrowinguusinggrowingsinguusinggrowinguusinggrowingsingsingsing local materials. The reason is mostly economic because these family-run operations can produce pots much cheaper than factory-made versions because they have no overhead or utility bills.

 

Choosing the right vessel

You may not realize it, but your choice of water container can have an impact on your health. Of course, you need to drink plenty of water every day to keep your body functioning at its best—but how that water comes into contact with your lips can be just as important. Many people drink their daily water intake from plastic bottles or BPA-lined mugs, which can leach carcinogens into your system; however, by drinking out of clay pots (or other non-BPA vessels), you remove that risk completely. These traditional tools also offer another advantage: They filter and purify air molecules as they sit in sunlight, potentially making them healthier than water stored in modern containers that are regularly washed.

How to use it

If you're looking for an easy way to make your water taste better, consider investing in a clay pot (also known as an earthware pot). Not only are they pretty and eco-friendly, but they'll also keep your water cool. You can place them outside or in your home—clay pots are extremely durable, so you don't have to worry about accidentally dropping it and breaking it. If you want to sip some delicious water while minimizing plastic use, investing in a reusable clay water bottle is just what you need. Then use that bottle with your new pot! It's simple: feel good about saving money, reduce plastic consumption and drink awesome tasting water. It doesn't get much better than that!

Where to get one?

They're becoming more popular because there's less plastic being used in our water clay pot industry. If you don't know where to get one ask your local grocer or give them your specifications and have it custom ordered. Once you receive it be sure to clean it well before use by boiling water and letting it sit inside for 30 minutes. You can also sanitize in three simple steps with bleach but be sure not to leave in for longer than an hour as it may strip away some of its natural properties that are beneficial for drinking water.

Conclusion

Hydrogen and Bacteria, Dead or Alive? There’s definitely something to be said for traditional clay pot water, which has been heated from clay pots for hundreds of years. Whether it’s because of additional minerals that leach into your water, or because of bacteria that survive in clay pots or even thrive inside them, is still up for debate. But at least one thing is clear: it can’t hurt to drink water out of a clay pot (unless you have allergies). Ultimately it will probably come down to personal preference—but one thing seems clear: traditional methods may be healthier than most modern technologies.
