A new study suggests that drinking water from plastic bottles can increase blood pressure.
According to the study, microplastics have also been found in liquids in glass bottles, and experts said that these particles are associated with high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The latest survey found that blood pressure decreased in research participants when they stopped consuming all liquids, including water from plastic and glass bottles, and drank only tap water for two weeks.
Researchers from Austria’s Danube Private University said the study concluded that drinks in plastic bottles should be avoided.
Research results show for the first time that reducing plastic consumption can lower blood pressure, possibly due to the reduction of plastic particles in the blood, which may reduce cardiovascular health risks.
