Nowadays the fridge has become an important part of our life, especially in summer, when cold water and food items need to be kept safe for a long time. But some common mistakes are also made regarding keeping water in the fridge, especially regarding the use of plastic bottles. Here are some important things and precautions that should be kept in mind while keeping water in the fridge.
Keeping water in a plastic bottle – why it can be harmful
BPA and other chemicals: Many plastic bottles contain chemicals like BPA (Bisphenol A) which can dissolve in water in cold or hot temperatures and affect the body's hormonal system.
Re-using old plastic bottles: Repeated use can cause cracks in them and bacteria can grow.
Environmental damage: Repeated use of plastic and its non-destruction is also a threat to the environment.
What are the right options?
1. Steel bottles: These are not only safe, but also last for a long time and are easy to clean.
2. Glass bottles: These are considered the safest option from a health point of view, but are a little fragile.
3. Food grade BPA-free plastic: If you have to use plastic, make sure it is BPA-free and food grade.
Some more important precautions
1. Wash the bottle thoroughly before storing water.
2. Change the bottle every few days or sanitize it thoroughly.
3. Do not store water in the fridge for too long. Fresh water is always better.
