New Delhi: Consuming water from an earthen pot (Matka) has several health benefits. Matka water is not only a substitute for steel and plastic containers but also has its own set of health benefits. This is the reason why many households still swear by the clay pot, as it has many therapeutic benefits.
Natural cooling properties
Storing water in a clay pot aids the natural cooling of water. The clay pot has tiny pores on the surface and water evaporates quickly through these pores. The evaporation process ensures the heat of the water inside the pot is lost, which lowers the temperature of the water.
Good for throat
While the fridge water is too chilled and the water kept outside is too warm, Matka provides the perfect drinking water in summers. With its perfect cooling effect, it is gentle on the throat and can be easily consumed by people suffering from cold and cough.
Prevents sunstrokes
Sunstroke is a very common problem which strikes a lot of people in summers. The vitamins and minerals from the water stored in clay pots will help in maintaining the body’s glucose levels and will also provide a gentle cooling effect to your body.
Alkaline in nature
The human body is acidic in nature, while the clay is alkaline. Water from these alkaline pots when consumed by you reacts with the acidic nature of our body and helps in creating a proper pH balance. This is the reason why drinking Matka water helps in keeping acidity and stomach problems at bay.
Boosts metabolism
When we drink water stored in plastic bottles, it contains toxic chemicals like Bisphenol A or BPA, which harm the body in many ways. It is said to bring testosterone levels down and is also known to be an endocrine disruptor. Whereas, drinking water from a clay pot balances testosterone levels and even improves your body’s metabolism.
