A study published by the National Library of Health and Medicine goes over the importance of staying hydrated as well as health advantages of the same. Even if you didn’t go over it, you probably know how important it is to stay hydrated and probably make some effort to consume the minimum daily recommended amount of H20.

If you work, exercise or travel a lot, you probably carry your own water bottle wherever you go. If you don’t, maybe give it some thought!

What’s Available?

If you’re looking to buy water bottles for sports or daily use today, stainless steel and insulated water bottles will probably be among your best options.

We’re going to elaborate on why such bottle designs are recommended and what advantages these two design types have to offer.    

Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Stainless steel water bottles have been around for a while and have recently become extremely popular among the old and young alike. Advantages of stainless still bottles include:

Durability

Much stronger than plastics or other available materials, stainless steel bottles can be dropped, thrown and sat on without you worrying about causing damage. Further, the same are also built to last which means even after years of use, your stainless steel bottle will probably be usable.

Temperature

Though not as great by way of insulation as purpose built insulated water bottles, stainless steel bottles do offer a degree of temperature control ensuring that your water won’t hit room temperature all that quickly.

Non-Toxic

The problem with many plastics is that they can be toxic. If you are not purchasing your water bottles from a reliable manufacturer, you can never really testify to the quality of material used. Stainless steel bottles are known to be non-toxic. Even if you leave them in the sun, you can rest assured that the water within will be safe to drink. Better yet, regular stainless steel bottles are dishwasher friendly!

Insulated Water Bottles

You want to make sure you purchase your insulated water bottles from a reliable company as these are designed in a slightly more complex manner than the latter. Advantages of insulated water bottles include:

Temperature

Insulated water bottles are designed and manufactured with a double wall. This ensures that beverages placed within remain at the same temperature they were poured at for prolonged periods of time. In other words, you don’t need to worry about the water going warm on a hot day or your coffee going old on a cool one. This is so even if you’re out and about all day!

No Sweating

Water bottles may start sweating in conditions where there is moisture in the air and room temperature is higher than that of the liquid in the bottle. This is not a big deal however sweating bottles on tables and documents can do damage by leaving rings.

Insulated bottles however due to the double layer used to not sweat at all. Sweating in an insulated water bottle is indicative of damage.
