In our day to day life we pursue so many things, some knowingly and others unknowingly, simple acts of necessity some times indirectly lay a huge impact on our health without our conscience.
It might be drinking water, eating some junk foods or gulping some random bud craving beverages. Everything has its effects, some might be good, some bad and others worse. Anyhow, let us walk through the subject of using the plastic bottles.
In a bid to save a few bucks we often compromise in getting in few new things. Water bottles are on the top of such. An average healthy man at-least consumes more than a liter water, which justifies that a 1-liter bottle is not at all enough to sustain the day. So, we end up filling our cheaply bought water bottles.
What if I refill and use the plastic bottles?
Now, experts claim that we must stop doing this, they add that the bottles carry a lot of moisture on their bodies. And to our surprise, this moisture has a bacteria which is far beyond worst than our expectations.
It is believed that this is the same kind of bacteria that is found in toilets. Scientists declared that the ridges and tiny cracks in plastic bottles can harbor dangerous germs, such as ‘norovirus’.
They also added that drinking water from the used plastic bottle is almost licking toilets. This might also result in nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
What if I wash them?
Yes, this helps, but briefly. Cleansing might free the bottle from bacteria but plastic can easily attract germs and so will be the consequences, dire.
Anyhow, plastic breaks down if washed too much.
What to use?
The material of the bottle plays a vital role, so, stainless steel bottles have aesthetic properties and note down that they must be strapped on the top.
Though they might be expensive, spending a few bucks for own health is not that bad it seems.
