With the warmer seasons approaching, it’s time to bring your water bottles out of retirement. With our bodies being made up of mostly water, it’s super important to always stay hydrated. We all know how hard it can be to hold yourself accountable for drinking water throughout the day and the guilt we feel when we don’t meet our intake goals. So here are some ways where drinking water can not only be easier for you to remember but can also be fun.

The benefits of staying hydrated

Health experts state that a person’s water intake should be around 13 cups per day. However, when the weather is hot or if you find yourself in high altitudes, your water intake should be much higher than the recommended average. Water not only boosts your physical performance, but there’s a plethora of other helpful functions it can provide: 

• Helps to prevent kidney damage and kidney stones
• Regulates your body temperature
• Flushes waste and toxins out of your body
• Lubricates your joints and spine which can prevent body aches
• Boosts healthier skin

How to know if you’re not drinking enough

Can you remember a time when you were told that you weren’t drinking enough water because you weren’t feeling well? Your body is great at letting you know what it needs and that includes when it’s feeling dehydrated. It’s important to always listen to your body in these instances otherwise it can lead to you requiring emergency care. Here are some ways in which you can tell if you need to increase your hydration: 

• Frequent headaches, migraines, or muscle cramps
• Dry mouth and lips from not being able to produce saliva
• Urine is a darker color
• Feeling nauseous or dizzy
• Not being thirsty

When you’re very dehydrated, the symptoms can show up as extreme dizziness and even confusion.

Custom water bottles help kids stay hydrated

Custom water bottles can help encourage kids to drink more water. We all know the difficulties of getting your kids to adopt healthy habits. But having a fun water bottle could possibly make that task a little easier. With a multitude of fun colors and designs to choose from, this allows your little one to show off their personalities and express themselves everywhere they go. Additionally with some water bottles having designs that allow for clip and carabiner attachments, this can help your child keep it with them during their next adventure. 

Reduced your carbon footprint

These days it’s nearly impossible not to find plastic water bottles available for purchase in most stores. With their cheap pricing, it makes for a quick purchase when on the go. But these one time use bottles are terrible for the environment and tend to get stuck in our oceans and landfills. By getting a reusable water bottle, you’re helping to reduce your carbon footprint in the world. Not only that, but this will also save you money as well because it’s long lasting.

Promotes accountability

A reusable water bottle can help lead you to becoming more mindful about keeping hydrated. By always carrying it with you or having it accessible in your home or workplace, your accountability will increase with each day. This can also help you to build a daily routine so drinking water can start feeling less like a chore.
