Water is the source of life, it can be said that any life form on earth can not survive without water, 72% of the human body is water, which shows the importance of water.
Studies have shown that an adult’s normal daily water intake is around 2L, which includes not only the water we normally drink, but also the water in our daily diet. Adults lose water every day through urine, sweating and evaporation of skin moisture, so the organism needs more water. Cups as we drink water necessities, its material is diverse, the advantages and disadvantages of different materials are also a variety of opinions, then we will talk about the daily life of plastic cups, glass cups, ceramic cups and insulation cups, which cup is more healthy for the organism?
1.glass cup or bottle
Glass is made of high borosilicate glass forged at a high temperature of more than six hundred degrees, it is cheap, beautiful appearance, and can be seen everywhere in life. Not only favored by the majority of young people, even older people are also fond of glass cups.
The glass itself does not contain organic chemical substances, even if you add 100 degrees of boiling water will not be deformed, and will not make its own chemical molecular structure changes, so it will not cause harm to the body. In addition, the glass mug is easier to clean than other kinds of water cups. Secondly, the glass is more stable, so its safety factor is also relatively high.
However, when using, be careful not to inject hotter boiling water in the icier glass water cups, in addition, the glass water cups are not strong insulation, children in the glass water cups to prevent burns. But the current market also for the poor insulation of glass cups to make some improvements, such as the use of double glass cups, greatly reducing the thermal conductivity of the glass. Although the advantages of double glass cups more, but the price is also higher than ordinary glass cups. Some businesses in the sale of glass cups will also give a free thermal insulation cup cover, a good-looking thermal insulation cup cover believe that buyers will not refuse, let alone free, which also largely solves the problem of poor insulation of glass water cups. Due to increased competition in the market and changes in the sales environment, so that the market appeared more colorful, colorful glass, is also one of the ways to attract the attention of buyers. Many young people prefer this kind of original glass mug, but this kind of water cup with pigment is not suitable for daily drinking.

2.plastic cups
With the improvement of living standards and the popularity of health awareness, plastic water cups to drink less and less people, the supermarket plastic water cups are used as dental cups but also harmless, will not bring harm to the human body.
Usually, the plastic water cups bought back from the mall have a triangular-shaped mark at the bottom, the number on it can reflect the quality of the cup, but also indirectly tell buyers whether they can be used for drinking water.
- 1. The bottom logo is PET
- The bottom logo for PET mug, its main component is polyethylene terephthalate, which will be deformed above 70 degrees Celsius, will release the location of harmful to humans, and even carcinogenic in the case of prolonged use, so this type of mug can never be used for drinking water, and can not be used to store oil, vinegar or soy sauce and other condiments.
- 2. PP logo at the bottom
- The bottom of the PP logo of the main material for polypropylene, can be heated in the microwave oven, but the cleaning should be extra careful, otherwise it will become a petri dish of bacteria, use detergent to wash a few times after use, dry and then stored away.
3. The bottom of the logo for PC - The bottom of the logo for the main material of PC polycarbonate, usually in the space cup, the bottom of the bottle can be seen, although it can be used for drinking water, but the water temperature should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will lead to the release of chemicals in the cup.
- We all know that the production process of plastic water cups is very simple, but in the process of production will add a large number of plasticizers, this chemical will be released into the water when added to the boiling water, the human body introduced too many chemicals, a serious threat to health.
- Here we suggest that if you have to drink from a plastic water cup, you can add some cold water first, then add some boiling water. Because no matter how good the quality of plastic water cups, the nature of some easy to decompose chemicals, so use some caution, plastic water cups do not have too long a life, or add hot water will intensify the release of toxins.
3.ceramic cups
Ceramic mug is made of clay or some other inorganic non-metallic raw materials made of mug, its appearance is beautiful, cheap, but the quality of ceramic mugs on the market varies, in the process of buying attention from the appearance of color, cup bottom and other aspects of comprehensive consideration.
In general, the whiter the color of the ceramic mug indicates that the composition of the composition of the less, containing less inorganic chemical substances, the less harmful to the human body, so do not buy because of some ceramic mug color bright and beautiful to buy, to know the entrance of things, health is the most important.
To sum up.
As the saying goes, “A glass of water in the morning, no regrets in old age.” Wake up the first cup of warm water, can wake up the body cells, regulate blood circulation, improve the body’s metabolic capacity, so wake up in the morning to drink about 500 ml of warm water.
Secondly, to select a healthy water cup, when drinking water to pay attention to the water temperature, do not drink overnight tea water, and do not drink the water set aside for too long, to pay attention to drinking water health, to ensure the health of the body.
