How a HidrateSpark Smart Water Bottle Helps You Get a Grip on Hydration

5/15/2020

 
We're all distracted, worried, and out of sorts. It makes sense that some of our healthy habits aren't happening. But, staying hydrated is important, especially for runners. 

Are you drinking enough fluids each day? If you're like me, and get distracted or forget to drink up, consider the HidrateSpark Smart Water Bottle. It reminds me to drink when it glows and sends me funny texts. 
​

Good hydration is an easy way to take good care of yourself. ​Keep reading to learn the benefits of hydration and how HidrateSpark can help.

Get a grip on your hydration needs with a HidrateSpark Smart Water Bottle. It syncs to your smartphone, watch, and fitness tracker to record your intake. It also sends fun reminders when you need to take a sip! And the exterior of the bottle is super soft and grippable. (Photo: This Old Runner)

Benefits of Staying Hydrated

Drinking water is good for you in lots of ways. It helps your heart, brain, and muscles function. Fluids deliver nutrients to your cells. Water flushes bacteria from your bladder. 

Here are a few more ways staying hydrated keeps you healthy:

Water Makes Your Skin Glow
Really. If you're dehydrated, your skin is less elastic. It looks dull. When you're hydrated, your skin looks supple and healthy.  

Water Improves Cardiovascular Health
Dehydration lowers blood volume causing your heart to work harder. Your heart pumps harder to get the decreased amount of blood and oxygen to your cells. When you're hydrated, your blood volume is sufficient. Your heart doesn't need to work so hard.

Water Helps Muscle and Joint Function
A hydrated body has plenty of water in the cells of contracting muscles. Your muscles perform better because fluids moved nutrients to them and removed waste from your body. Water also keeps your joints lubricated.

Water Cleanses Your Body From the Inside 
Your kidneys need water to their job. Kidneys filter waste from the blood and excrete it in urine. 
If you're seriously dehydrated, your kidneys could stop working. If your kidneys don't function you risk toxins building up in your body. Good hydration can also prevent kidney stones and urinary tract infections.

The Hidrate App Tracks Water Intake

The App connects to the HidrateSpark bottle via bluetooth and displays your daily water intake so you can easily track it at work, at home or on the go. 

You calculate your personal hydration goal using the app's proprietary formula. It determines a daily goal based on your height, weight, sex, activity level, and elevation.

Remember to factor in your specific situation. Some medications can act like diuretics, which means you need more water each day. 

You'll receive fun text message reminders throughout the day. The bottle glows when it's time to sip. I've never enjoyed reminders so much!
