Abstract :
Water is an essential element for the survival of
all living creatures on earth. No life is possible without
water. Drinking water is quite essential, similarly, proper
drinking manners are significant in maintaining health. In
the present study, we recommend a specific shape of
drinking water utensil as an essential and influencing factor
for human health. The shape of the drinking water utensil
should be a curved surface, rather than a plain cylindrical
water bottle, we recommend the old Indian Lotay for the
best drinking water utensil. To support our hypothesis we
conducted a questionnaire-based double-blind study based
on STORB guidelines. The study was conducted on 400
people from different circumstantial and age groups, based
on 16 questions. We found that the people drinking directly
with the modern day plastic water bottles are more prone
to the digestive issues such as indigestion, acidity, and
gastritis. Hence we strongly oppose the existing water bottle
shape (cylindrical with a narrow neck) for drinking,
because it physiologically harms the human health.
