A Copper Bottle Designed for Athletes & Yoga Practitioners
The average human can spend 15 days without eating a thing, but when it comes to water, the body can only endure 3 days without. During and after intense exercises we run the risk of facing dehydration if we're not careful.
Luckily there are ways to combat this.
Different activities require different levels of hydration. For example those that go to the gym or practice Yoga for a few hours a day need to hydrate regularly, especially during cardio. Because you sweat more in these activities, you will need to take more water.
Dehydration is a serious problem in the exercise community, and many amateur or up and coming athletes usually fall victim to this condition.
Symptoms of dehydration
- Thirst sensation (Obviously)
- If your urine is dark
- Dry lips and nostrils
- You start to sweat less, even if you keep exercising.
Extreme cases of dehydration often involve
- Greater fatigue than expected.
- Lightheaded-ness
- Loss of vision
What should you do:
Being hydrated before, during and after exercise is very important.
The goal of drinking during exercise is to prevent dehydration. When you exercise you produce heat, which your body helps reduce by sweating. When you sweat , you lose water and electrolytes which you will have to replace it by drinking water or other sports drinks.
But what do you do if you're someone who has trouble getting enough water?
If you're someone who struggles with drinking enough water, we may have a solution for you, we recommend trying a copper bottle! Many people say that one of the reasons they struggle to drink enough water is that they don't like the taste of water. However drinking from an Otiem copper bottle has been said to make water taste even better! One of the reasons an Otiem improves the taste of water is that it bottle keeps your water colder for longer periods of time, so that it has a refreshing ice cold taste every time you take a sip. If you're someone who prefers to sports drinks after your workout and has a hard time drinking the recommended amount of water per day, try buying an Otiem , it seriously just might help you replace those cravings with pure water instead. Plus, at the very least it’s so stylish you’ll surely want to carry it around and show it off, and if you’re walking around with a water bottle all day, chances are you’re gonna be drinking from it.
But won't this make my water taste like copper?
People who are concerned that drinking water from copper will taste metallic have nothing to worry about as this is just a rumor. If you leave water inside a copper bottle for 8 hours, then pour water into a glass, then taste it, you'll see you won't be able to taste a thing. We've done blind taste tests and people can't tell the difference between water that was in Otiem copper water bottle vs. water that has never been inside one. It will only taste ice cold and refreshing and is the perfect rehydration tool!
Remember dehydration can lead to serious reduction in your athletic performance, and ignoring the problem can also lead to heat stroke. Always, air on the side of caution and remember to always keep your water source in arms reach, especially after intense Yoga, hot days or workouts.
