Cupple is the ideal solution if you like coffee-on-the-go but feel you need to hydrate at the same time. Bottled water sold in shops is not tested nearly the same as tap water, and massively overpriced. You’re paying for plastic, shipping of water (often from overseas) and marketing. Once discarded, plastic bottles break down into microplastics, which drop down storm drains and go into the sea, where they are accidentally ingested by marine creatures.
Don’t fill hot liquids to top to avoid scalding, and avoid wide-mouth bottles with hot drinks for children. Don’t place metal bottles in the microwave.
The water bottle features a leakproof lid and carry loop, and the double-walled insulated cup features a sculpted cup lid to keep drinks hot for a few hours. The outer sleeve (made from powder-coated stainless steel has a twist-on design to protect the cup and lid inside.
This ingenious invention saves you having to take two cups/bottles, as it twists together to become one product. On average, we’re supposed to drink around 2 x this bottle each day of water, so obviously a little more if you drink more coffee (or wine!) The Cupple is sold in a wide range of beautiful colours, and designed to last years, then is easily recycled.
How Much Water Should We Drink?
We need water to keep cool, remove waste, and help our joints, brains and eyes (fresh water is also found in raw product like watermelons and bananas). The average person needs around 1.2 litres of water a day (more for athletes, hot weather, some medical conditions and after vomiting/diarrhoea).
So how much is 1.2 litres? Around 6 x 200ml glasses. So drink 2 glasses when you wake up, another 2 before lunch and dinner, and in a couple of weeks you’ll be hydrated. The caveat is that your body loses water with tea, coffee, cola and alcohol. So add an extra glass, for each one of those you drink. It’s easier to reduce caffeine and alcohol, so you are not guzzling water all day to compensate.
What Kind of Water Should Pets Drink?
Spring and filtered water are fine, you may find health and fur improves. But vets say that (unless medically given) to avoid distilled water (removes minerals and electrolytes). Never give fizzy water to pets, as it could cause bloat. Don’t let pets drink from puddles. It may taste nice to them, but could contain remnants of bacteria, oil or antifreeze.
