Drinking packaged water may seem like a safe option, but it comes with various side effects. Take a look:
Chemicals from plastic bottles can leach into the water, altering its taste and potentially causing health issues.
Certain bottled drinking water lacks important minerals like calcium and magnesium, in contrast to natural spring water.
When water is distilled using chemical procedures, some bottles may release toxic byproducts which, if ingested over time, can adversely affect one’s health.
According to studies, bottled water contains microplastics that can enter the body and possibly lead to several health problems.
Drinking packaged water regularly can be more expensive than tap water.
The manufacturing, shipping and disposal of plastic bottles lead to resource depletion and add to plastic pollution.
