Drink Water Stored in Silver and Copper Vessels

Ayurveda has always suggested drinking water stored in copper (Tamba) and silver
(Chaandi) vessels. The water stored in these vessels has the ability to balance all three doshas
in the body and it does by positively charging the water. Copper has numerous antioxidants
and anti-bacterial properties that help boost the immune system of the body.

It also has anti-cancer properties. Water in the silver vessel has the power to remove free
radicals from the body and gives a cooling effect in the intestines and smoothens the process
of digestion.

1. It helps create saliva

Water is a main component of saliva. Saliva also includes small amounts of electrolytes,
mucus, and enzymes. It’s essential for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth
healthy.

2. It regulates your body temperature

Staying hydrated is crucial to maintaining your body temperature. Your body loses water
through sweat during physical activity and in hot environments.

Your sweat keeps your body cool, but your body temperature will rise if you don’t replenish
the water you lose. That’s because your body loses electrolytes and plasma when it’s
dehydrated.

3. It protects your tissues, spinal cord, and joints

Water consumption helps lubricate and cushion your joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This will
help you enjoy physical activity and lessen the discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis.

4. It helps excrete waste through perspiration, urination, and defecation

Your body uses water to sweat, urinate, and have bowel movements.
You also need enough water in your system to have a healthy stool and avoid constipation.

Your kidneys are also important for filtering out waste through urination. Adequate water
intake helps your kidneys work more efficiently and helps to prevent kidney stones.

5. It helps maximize physical performance

Drinking plenty of water during physical activity is essential.

6. It helps with nutrient absorption

In addition to helping with food breakdown, water also helps dissolve vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients from your food. It then delivers these vitamin components to the rest of your
body for use.

7. It improves blood oxygen circulation

Water carries helpful nutrients and oxygen to your entire body. Reaching your daily water
intake will improve your circulation and have a positive impact on your overall health.

8. It prevents overall dehydration

Dehydration is the result of your body not having enough water. And because water is
imperative to so many bodily functions, dehydration can be very dangerous.

Benefits of drinking water from a matka (clay pot)

1. Natural cooling springs

Clay pots are porous in nature which helps in cooling water. These pots will not just give you
cool water to drink but, will also provide you with the healing attributes of the earth. Most
significantly, clay pots possess the ability to chill water in accordance with the climate.  This is
one quality that no other container has. They are also pocket-friendly in nature.

2. Alkaline in nature

Since clay is alkaline in nature it helps to maintain the Ph balance in our bodies, since the
human body is known to be acidic in nature. Alkaline clay then reacts with the acidic
water hence creating a proper pH balance. Hence, acidity and gastronomic pains are
relieved.

3. Improves digestion and metabolism

Drinking from an earthen pot can boost metabolism without dangerous chemicals like BPA
(Bisphenol A) which can be found in plastic bottles and containers. This further helps in
keeping testosterone levels balanced, as opposed to plastic, which in turn brings down
body testosterone levels. The minerals present also help to improve digestion.

4. Treats a bad throat

The water stored in an earthen pot is gentle on the throat. It is an ideal drink for
people suffering from cough or cold. It is the best option for people suffering from
respiratory diseases during the summer since water from the fridge can be too cold to
consume and the water that's been kept outside in plastic bottles is too warm. The
water out of clay pot is perfectly chilled rich in earthy goodness to quench your thirst.

5. Prevents sun strokes (during summer)

We all know how common sunstrokes are in summer. Well, now you can curb it easily,
just start drinking water from an earthen pot. Since it proves the body with necessary
nutrients and vitamins to maintain body glucose and prevents us from heat strokes.
