Stay Hydrated Whatever The Season

Whatever the season, staying hydrated is essential for our overall health and wellbeing. Hydration is especially important in hot weather, as we lose more fluids when we sweat, and can become dehydrated more quickly. During the colder months, staying hydrated is important, as we can still become dehydrated due to the dry air.

 With the right approach coupled with the right product, it's easy to make sure we get enough fluids all year round. Here are our tips:

 1. Follow the 8×8 rule of hydration. Make tracking your liquids easy with a water bottle that can hold 2 litres.

Health experts commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon a day. Keeping a 2-L water bottle with you throughout the day helps ensure that you're drinking enough water to stay healthy. Having one large bottle means you won't have to worry about refilling it as often as smaller bottles. So whether you're out in the field, at the gym, in the office, or out for a hike, having a 2 litre water bottle with you will help you stay hydrated and healthy.

2. Invest in a good thermal mug.

Choosing a good quality thermal mug is a wise decision for anyone looking for a long-term, sustainable and cost-effective solution for keeping their drinks hot or cold. Thermal mugs are made with a double wall steel construction, meaning that the air between the walls is vacuum-sealed which helps keeps drinks at their desired temperature for extended periods of time. These mugs also come with a lid to ensure that your drink stays secure and you don’t have to worry about spills. In addition to the insulation, thermal mugs come in a variety of stylish designs and colors, meaning there is sure to be something to fit your lifestyle. Investing in a good thermal mug is an investment you won’t regret; you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite hot or cold drinks for seasons to come.

3. Consider hydration bladders.

Hydration bladders make the perfect water storage solution for your outdoor adventures. They are lightweight and can hold up to 3 litres of water, making them ideal for long, strenuous hikes and treks. The hydration bladder is easy to fill, transport and attach to any backpack. Additionally, the tubing with the bite valve allows for hands-free hydration and makes it easy to stay hydrated without having to pause and reach for a water bottle. The construction of the bladder is durable and leak-proof, and the wide-mouth opening allows you to easily fill it up with water or add ice cubes. With a hydration bladder, you can be sure that you will be ready to take on any outdoor adventure with clean and safe hydration.

4. Travel with a tumbler.

When it comes to staying hydrated on the go, having a reliable tumbler by your side is a game-changer. A tumbler is not only convenient but also environmentally friendly, as it eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, having a tumbler with you ensures that you always have access to your favourite beverages. Whether you're hopping on a plane, taking a road trip, or simply navigating through your busy day, having a tumbler with you ensures that you can stay hydrated and refreshed at all times. It's a small investment that yields big rewards in terms of convenience, sustainability, and overall well-being.
