Trace mineral - COPPER [ Part 2]

Just because copper water is good for us doesn’t mean we over consume it. Let's understand why ..... Copper toxicity can have the below mentioned adverse effects in our body : * slows liver function * excess copper in the body lowers your zinc levels. And, zinc plays an important role in fortifying our immune system, DNA creation and repair, healing, recovery, hormonal health (especially testosterone levels among men)etc * slow thyroid function by impacting the production of T3 & T4 * lowers dopamine (often called the feel-good hormone) thus worsening stress & anxiety * promotes the growth of bad bacteria or candida( SIBO - small intestine bacterial overgrowth). Candida overgrowth makes it difficult for you to gain or lose weight, can cause thrush/vagina infections/ vaginal discharge among women, bad breath, a yellow coating on your tongue, headaches, migraines, joint aches, and more. So, how should we consume water stored in copper vessels ? 🤗 watch out for the post tomorrow 🙂
