The importance of drinking water featuring SIGG

As a doctor, I couldn't stress how important it is to have enough drinking water everyday. The cliche of drinking 8 glasses of water a day still holds true for many reasons. Because we lose water via sweat, urination/defecation and even when we breathe.

1. Water helps to maintain a state of balance in bodily fluids. There's a fairly complex system between the brain and the kidneys to keep the bodily fluids and the concentration of minerals in a balanced state. This includes the circulation, saliva, regulation of temperature for example.

2.  Water helps with weight loss. Water truly contains 0 calories and can do wonder when one replace other beverages with water. Food with higher water content also makes one feel full for longer.

3. Water is needed for healthy muscles. This is particularly true after exercise. Water lost is needed to be replenished in order to maintain the balance of fluid and minerals for optimal function.

4. Water is needed for healthy glowing skin. Dehydration can make skin looks wrinkled and more dry but over hydrating yourself doesn't smoothen out wrinkles :p

5. Water helps to excrete toxins from the body in the form of urine which is also needed to maintain good filtration function of our kidneys.

6. Last but not least, dehydration can lead to constipation as harder stools tend to move slower in the bowels, causing even more water to be reabsorbed from the stool.

Reference

As people become more environmentally friendly, we have moved away from using disposable plastic water bottles. And having our own water bottle has become a necessity. So a good quality bottle is absolutely essential as we use it day in and out. Keeping a bottle by our side definitely help us to drink more both consciously and subconsciously.

Have you heard of SIGG? It has a big range of water bottles made in Switzerland since 1908. My dear readers, Switzerland is not only famous for its exquisite watches and breathtaking sceneries :) These are the reasons why I love SIGG.

My SIGG NAT Gold water bottle can fit 0.75L liquid below 40 degrees Celsius. Put it anywhere except in the microwave or freezer. 

Other cool features include
-fully recyclable parts
-BPA and phalates free (these are plastic ingredients that could potentially be harmful to us)
-read more on Mayo Clinic if you want to know more in detail about BPA

The new bottle top also has an intuitive design. Look carefully at the 4 options. With a clever twist holding on to the top handle, one choose between open, close, air and clean.

Open means ready for a swig. Remember to gently bite open the rubber tip so as to allow the water to pass through the straw.

Close means it becomes leak proof. I tried to turn it upside down and it didn't leak either.

Air means allowing gas to escape or ventilate through the opening when the bottle is filled with carbonated drinks. A gentle reminder to leave about 3cm gap from the lid when SIGG is filled with gassy drinks to allow for expansion.

Clean turns the complex mechanism into a straight path for proper cleaning purposes.

I love how simple yet sophisticated the design of SIGG water bottle is. This is the essence of elegance.

Not only does it fit easily into my day bag, my SIGG bottle is also a great companion when I'm driving or having sports. No need to cap and uncap. Just take a swig. No more messy spills and no distraction to take my eyes off the road.

Of course there's a good deal for you during this Christmas season. A season of gifting. Simply head to this Genius Castle link
