5 Health Benefits of Drinking Water in a Copper Vessel

My first recollection of a large copper filter was at my grandmother’s home along with neatly lined copper glasses on the shelf. Back then, what was a norm was somewhere lost as life sped by. Fancy cutlery and less expensive products made way into the houses.

Sometime last year, I chanced upon an antique looking copper filter in one of my travels. Not only did it revive loads of forgotten memories where we, a bunch of cousins drank from the copper glasses to stay cool in the summer, but also made me realize that this is something I should be introducing to my boys.

Copper helps to charge the water positively and needless to say when you consume it, there are various health benefits of drinking water in a copper vessel.
