Old Water Bottle Danger: Are You Accumulating Toxins? Experts Warn on Health Risks

• Using the same water bottle for too long can lead to toxin accumulation due to bacterial, viral, and fungal growth.
• Science and Ayurveda emphasize clean, appropriate containers for safe water; dirty bottles contaminate even clean water.
• Keeping water in a daily-use bottle for days allows germs to multiply, causing stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.
• Ayurveda links impure water to dosha imbalance, weakened digestion, and reduced immunity.
• Replace plastic bottles every 6-12 months, or immediately if they smell or show scratches; clean daily with soap and warm water.
