The importance of being well hydrated
According to the report on the importance of hydration from the International Chair of Advanced Studies in Hydration at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
1. -Thermoregulation and fluid balance are fundamental factors in sports performance.
The most abundant and essential component for the functioning of the human body is water, which is why we can go several weeks without eating but only a few days without drinking.
Essential for the proper functioning of bodily functions such as cooling, supplying nutrients to muscle cells, removing waste substances, lubricating joints, and regulating electrolytes in the blood.
Good hydration should maintain a balance between fluid intake and fluid expulsion. Approximately 80% of the energy produced by muscle contraction is released in the form of heat, and our body releases it in the form of sweat to prevent an increase in body temperature that could have serious health consequences. However, cooling the body also causes a significant loss of fluids.
2.- Dehydration is the dynamic loss of body fluid due to sweating without fluid replacement or with insufficient fluid replacement, producing negative impacts on health.
3.- Electrolytes are particles (sodium, chlorine and potassium) found in plasma and sweat, which help regulate the balance of fluids in the body. An electrolyte deficiency can cause muscle cramps, weakness and apathy.
4.- Thirst is the natural need or desire to drink, caused by the decrease in water content in the tissues. When performing intense exercise, the loss of thirst does not mean that the balance between the water lost and the water ingested has been restored, so during exercise, correct hydration guidelines must be encouraged, adapting to the individual and the training program.
As an approximate value, it is accepted that the need to ingest 1 litre per 1,000 kcal is necessary, distributing its consumption appropriately throughout the day. And as regards training, both before (400-600 ml 1 to 2 hours before), during (start early at regular intervals) and after (as soon as possible,)
After long-duration exercise, a drink containing sodium is recommended.
Why use reusable bottles?
Original corporate gifts can achieve a mutual benefit for the environment and for the recipient of your personalized gift. In addition to achieving its main objective: the visibility of your brand
You are probably already aware of the advantages of using reusable materials for the environment, such as generating less waste by increasing the useful life of the product, less consumption of natural resources and a greater reduction in emissions that wear out the planet.
Using these items, mostly made from eco-friendly materials, is the most direct path to sustainable development. They help you meet your constant hydration needs without waiting until you are thirsty, and they allow you to save money.
Reusable bottles help us take care of our health because they are made from easy-to-clean materials (it is recommended to clean them once a day), which allow them to be safely reused and subsequently recycled without loss of quality.
Both stainless steel and glass are materials that do not change when in contact with water or liquid, so the flavor does not vary.
For many training companies, they are the preferred merchandising gifts to differentiate brands in offices and student environments.
Recycled PET bottles are the favourite for excursions, gyms and all kinds of sports activities, very light to carry, their durability and resistance make them a very good option to keep up with the pace of the little ones and their low cost is an incentive for those companies looking for cheap promotional gifts with which to reach a large number of customers.
Bottles or containers to keep you hydrated during exercise.
While exercising, it is very important to drink water. Proper hydration makes it possible to maintain a constant temperature by promoting sweat evaporation and heat dissipation.
The type of exercise you do determines your preference when choosing a reusable bottle.
If you like to exercise outdoors, such as running or walking, whether for leisure or obligation, depending on the duration of this activity and especially whether it is to be carried in your hand, bag or backpack, you can choose between bottles that are more or less small and lightweight.
If you like to exercise in the gym or in a gym, you can choose larger capacity bottles such as one-litre bottles with an easy-to-open and close cap designed to be used without wasting time and with just one hand.
Stainless steel thermal bottles for everyday use
At home or at the office we need to drink liquids continuously and that is why one-litre bottles can help you to remember that you should stop to drink water even if you are not thirsty, since the recommended daily amount is two litres per day.
But there is nothing like a good coffee brought from home, and for this it is very important that it stays hot or cold for as long as you need.
In this case, wide-mouth bottles are very convenient, as they also allow you to put ice inside.
Reusable bottles for children
It is evident that the pandemic has changed our habits and these changes are here to stay. Our children's backpacks contain, in addition to books and pencil cases, bottles of water, to protect them from possible infections by drinking directly from the source.
Which bottle best suits your lifestyle? To accompany you on your outings or in your routines?
