I have been drinking copper water for some time, thought it would be nice to share some research and results.
I thought it would be best to open with the hard science of how hospitals are now covering high touch areas with copper to prevent the spread of disease.
It would be amazing if hospitals already had this in place but it is a good start. Copper has some serious antimicrobial properties without a doubt. I would not go as far as drinking swamp water out of it, but it would be better than nothing.
My motivation to start drinking copper water was from the video below by Sadhguru. He makes a really good point about the composition of the human body and how it is comprised mostly of water. So by logic if you could take care of the water you drank the majority of your health will be taken care of. I started by installing a reverse osmosis system in my house. I would strongly suggest this for your drinking water, if you have kept up with recent news our water systems are under attack. After 6 months I changed the first stage filter and it was essentially the color of rust.
If you are not hip to Sadhguru he has helped me a great deal with various aspects of life. There are very few people for me that make complete sense with everything they say, Sadhguru is one of those. He is also hilarious a lot of the time, very much in a far side comic strip way.
The results for me personally have not been tremendous but my girlfriend was helped a great deal with some of the issues she was having. Anytime I start feeling unwell the first thing I do is get out the vessel and fill it. Seems to always help with whatever ailment I am having. I would say that cleaning can be a hassle if you want it to always be shiny. I also strongly advise getting one that you can fit your hand easily inside. I use pitambari powder and a scotch bright pad, seems to be the best combo from experience.
Hopefully this post will inspire you to look into how to better prepare and consume your water more consciously.
Thanks!
