Often referred to as the life giving substance, water is essential for good health and wellbeing. It allows your body to stay hydrated and properly perform all its functions. After all dehydration can increase fatigue, reduce productivity and affect both your physical and mental wellbeing. Drinking enough H2O during the day can give you more energy and boost physical performance. What's more, it can improve metabolic function and promote weight loss. The recommended daily fluid intake for adults is 2 litres for adults, while kids should drink between 1 to 1.5 litres of water on a daily basis.With that being said, it becomes clear how important it is to carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go, whether be that to work, school, or a fun outdoor trip.
Although drinking enough water is the first step to staying hydrated, placing it in a plastic bottle is not a wise choice. Disposable plastic bottles in particular, can affect both your health and the environment. They contain a chemical known as bisphenol A (BPA) that can have negative health effects. Exposure to BPA can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and other conditions. Research also suggests that it can affect the behaviour, brain and prostate gland of fetuses, toddlers and children.
Exposing plastic water to heat and cleaning them in the dishwasher can cause the outer layers of the plastic to break down. This is usually not visible to the human eye, but can cause harmful chemicals to leak into your water. That's why, you should stray away from using plastic battles, instead consider storing water in stainless steel bottles like the Klean Kanteen ones that contain no harmful chemicals like BPA, lead or Phthalates. For instance, the kids Klean Kanteen bottles are made from top quality sanitary grade stainless steel that is highly resistant to stain and rust. This makes it ideal for storing not just water, but other beverages for your kids like milk and fruit juices.
While plastic bottles can retain flavours form other beverages stored in them, with the kids Klean Kanteen water bottles you won't have this issue and they won't alter the taste of water or other liquids.
