We all know that it is important to stay hydrated, especially during the summer months. This is true for everyone, not just athletes, but anyone who spends time outside in the heat. We can become dehydrated very quickly, especially since many of us are not getting enough water to begin with. To stay hydrated, water is the best option. It is easy to get pulled into the marketing of sports drinks and flavored water beverages with low or no calories, but beware of sugar, sugar substitutes, and added sodium. Juice is full of sugar as well. The easiest, healthiest option is always water.
I know lots of people who hate drinking plain water. They'll say, "I need something with bubbles" or "I need some flavor in my life." I was one of those people for a long time. I was drinking around five cans of soda a day! I got headaches if I went too long without one. I was addicted. Then, one day, I found out I was pregnant. I was ecstatic about being a mother. I read countless articles on pregnancy and three pregnancy books. I was determined to be the best mom I could be even before the baby arrived. That meant changing my diet completely. I was already overweight and I wanted to make sure my baby was healthy, so I stopped buying soda all together. Water became my best friend.
I felt so much better after I quit soda. Most of my headaches went away. I lost weight, despite my pregnancy. My skin looked amazing. Giving up soda was the best decision of my life. I do, still order a coke when eating out on occasion, but I refuse to bring it into my home. I know that if I do, I could easily fall back into my old ways.
Now, I drink water. Clean, clear, wonderful water. I always take a water bottle to work, or anytime I leave the house. I keep lemons to squeeze a little flavor in the mornings, but mostly I drink it plain. Well, I did until I got a new water bottle. I received the InfuseFruit 25oz water bottle in exchange for an honest review of my personal experience. There are many bottles like this out on the market right now. It is a regular bottle shape with a basket inside for fruit, herbs, or tea to flavor your water as you drink it.
I have used something like this in the past, but the quality of Infusefruit is much better. The bottle itself is hard plastic and is very durable. If that isn't enough, it comes with a soft neoprene cover with a handle for easy handling and extra protection. The top has an extra locking feature so that it won't spill while in a bag or during transport. The fruit basket is removable so you can take it out if you are out of fresh fruit one day. The basket is easy to manage and the holes are the right size for letting flavor out, and keeping fruit (and those annoying seeds) inside.
The InfuseFruit bottle is a great way to start adding more water to your life. You add your favorite fruits, herbs, or tea for a great tasting, healthier beverage. It was fun for me to experiment with flavors. My favorite is fresh, sliced lemon with mint leaves, refreshing and hydrating.
