Clean water is essential for health But you need to know the type of water you drink because not all of them are equally beneficial for the body. Every time More and more research and studies warn of the risks associated with drinking plastic bottled water.
To provide more information on this, nutritionist Blancanutri said on Instagram that plastic bottled water is not the best option because “releases microplastics that act as endocrine disruptors which are chemicals that enter our bodies, capable of imitating our hormones and alter the proper functioning of our body”explains the expert.
Endocrine disruptors can influence the onset of many metabolic, respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological pathologies but those that will be most affected will be those of a hormonal nature (menopause, fertility, PCOS, thyroid, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.).
For the nutritionist, the best alternative for continuous water consumption would be to buy it in glass “but as it is very expensive, it is better to use a water filter (carbon filter, osmosis, etc.) either in the tap or filter carafe”he concludes.
