S’wheat Bottle is a new type of reusable bottle, this one is made from wheat straw, rather than plastic or metal. The Slide Lock Lid ensures a secure leakproof seal, with an easy to use sliding mechanism, for quick access to your drink.
Don’t fill hot liquids to top, and avoid wide-mouth bottles with hot drinks for children.
Sold in pretty colours, this bottle weighs just 270 yet is designed to last at least 10 years. To keep in top condition, hand wash in warm soapy water, rinse well and air-dry. Once the carabiner is removed, it’s dishwasher-safe. Not for microwave, fridge or freezer. Avoid use with carbonated drinks.
How Much Water Should We Drink?
Water helps to keep our bodies and brains in good order. The average person needs around 1.2 litres a day (more for athletes, hot weather, some medical conditions and after vomiting or diarrhoea). Fresh water is also in fruits like bananas and watermelons.
So how much is 1.2 litres. Around 6 x 200ml glasses. So drink 2 glasses on waking, another 2 before lunch and dinner. And in a couple of weeks, you will 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?
Vets say that spring and filtered water are fine (you may find health and fur improves). But they say to avoid distilled water (removes minerals and electrolytes).
Never give fizzy water to pets, this could cause bloat. Don’t let pets drink from puddles. It may taste nice to them, but could contain bacteria, oil or antifreeze.
