Water On-The-Go

Below are tips for staying hydrated: 

1. Measure: In order to stay adequately hydrated, tracking your daily water intake is important, especially if you're really active.

2. Routine: Tie drinking water into a routine. Drink a glass of water every time you brush your teeth, eat a meal or use the bathroom.

3. Challenge a friend. Kick off a healthy competition with a friend or your kids to see who can drink the most water or meet their goal most often.

4. Take it with you. It can be challenging to drink enough water when you are on the go. Fill your water bottle before you leave home, and bring it along on your daily travels.

Reusable water bottles accomplish all of these tips. A reusable bottle is more than just a bottle: it's your everyday companion. It develops personality and character the more that it is used, and it can be maintained for years.  You can reduce waste and save money. And, a reusable bottle can help you keep track of how much water you drink. Knowing the size of your bottle, or using a bottle with measurements, allows you to track the number of times you refill your bottle throughout the day and know exactly the amount of water you have consumed.

Instead of just thoughtlessly buying disposable water bottles, take a minute to really think through what you need on a daily basis as well as your personal preferences in order to support your guzzling goal. Having your ideal bottle by your side will make it more enjoyable to stay hydrated. Below are my recommendations for my favorite water bottles.

Single Wall Plastic Bottle Clear by Room Essentials

Buy at Target

Buy similar bottle at Amazon

This is my everyday, all day, water bottle. The measurements on the side help me to keep track of my daily water intake throughout the day to ensure I am getting a sufficient amount. It is large and doesn’t have handle, grip or insulation, so I typically do not use during workouts or on-the-go. But this is my favorite way to drink water during work and at home. Oh, and coming in at under $10 it’s so affordable. 

Nalgene Narrow Mouth Bottle

Buy on Amazon

Buy at Scheels

Nalgene has been a popular water bottle brand throughout my life, but this narrow mouth nozzle is easier to drink from than the traditional size so I just recently became a Nalgene fan. It has measurements on the size of the bottle so I can calculate how much I’ve consumed, and the strap makes it easy to carry. 

Hydration Nation Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Buy on QVC

Buy on Amazon

This is my favorite affordable stainless steel water bottle. The blue color is so pretty, and the double insulation keeps water cold without sweating on the outside. This feature is imperative for workouts. The cap fits nice and tight, too. 

Vacuum Sealed Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Buy at Amazon

Buy at Walmart

This is my favorite water bottle ever! I have had it for over 4 years and counting, so it is worth the investment. This bottle is good for cold and hot drinks, keeping any beverage at the right temperature. It is durable. It doesn’t sweat. It is lightweight. It washes well. Nothing beats this!
