Many problems bother us in the summer season. The body temperature is very hot during summer anyway and due to this there are always digestive issues. During this, we should take great care of eating and drinking and try to keep the body cool. But have you ever tried to know why eating and drinking with copper utensils is prohibited in summer?

Most people advise that it is not right to eat and drink with copper utensils. But you should also know why it doesn't happen.

We spoke to Celebrity International Dietician and Nutritionist Shikha Agarwal Sharma of Fat to Slim Group and tried to know why it is not right to eat with copper utensils during the summer. He told us in detail what is the reason for this and what could be wrong with the body.

Why cooking food with copper utensils is bad?

If we talk about copper utensils, then you can still take water in them, but cooking food in it can be very bad. The reason for this is that sometimes due to this the amount of copper in the food increases and it causes many side effects in the body.

As-

  • Bleeding nose
  • Loss of appetite
  • Body heat
  • Get diarrhoea
  • Get bloating

What things should not be taken in a copper vessel?

According to Shikha Aggarwal Sharma, milk and sour things should not be used in copper utensils in summer. This is because they cause an acidic reaction. Sometimes milk curdles due to this and sour things get spoiled. In such a situation, your body is also harmed.

If such things are taken in a copper vessel in summer, then these problems can occur in the body-

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Bloating

Food made with copper utensils is not at all safe for children.

In the summer season, both cooking and eating food in copper utensils are not safe for children. In such a situation, children are not able to remain active throughout the day and they may also have the problem of dizziness. In summer, you should take special care that children should be kept away from copper utensils in this way.

Is drinking water in a copper glass also bad?

The effect of copper is hot and in such a situation it can have more effect in summer, but there is no problem as far as drinking water is concerned. But still don't drink water only from copper glasses all the time. If you drink water in a copper glass at night in the morning, then it is fine, but if you drink only copper water all the time, then avoid it a little during summer.

Like copper, cooking with aluminium utensils can also be very bad, but these utensils are used the most. If you also feel that you are making this type of mistake during summer, then avoid it. This season is anyway very hot and bad, in which it is very important to pay attention to health.
