We're constantly told how important it is to drink water. And while we know that's true, have you ever wondered what exactly water does for us and our bodies? The benefits are pretty spectacular. There so many different opinions on how much water a person should be drinking daily. Doctors and health experts typically recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. But a better rule of thumb is to drink until (and we apologize for the graphicness in advance) your pee is a lime juice color! Dark yellow means you're dehydrated and clear like water means you're probably more than hydrated.

Here are just 7 of the fantastic changes you'll see when you start drinking the proper amount of water. 
 

1. Your skin starts glowing.

When you’re drinking enough water, you’ll notice your skin is the first to improve. Water keeps you moisturized and increases elasticity (what all those expensive anti-aging products also claim to do). You end up with a natural glisten. Everyone will be asking what your secret is. And the secret is water.

2. You’re totally energized.

Being fatigued is the worst. Your brain feels foggy and all you want to do is press the snooze button forever. While you might turn to coffee for an instant energy boost, it’s actually water that can improve your overall energy levels. The brain functions at its best when it’s hydrated. Drink up and say goodbye to sleepiness.

3. You lose weight more easily.

Sometimes hunger pains are actually your body telling you it’s thirsty. And if you’re drinking more water to quench that thirst, you’re also getting full sooner and less likely to make poor eating choices. Fun fact: did you know if you drink cold water, your body actually burns more calories because it needs to heat the water to your body temperature? That’s why it’s so great having a bottle on hand like our Infinite Ice Bottles that can keep water cold for a full 24 hours.

4. You flush away toxins.

Okay, I know it’s not super cute to talk about, but let’s get real -- water helps us get rid of, uh...waste. Through sweating and urination we’re able to get rid stuff that we don’t want hanging around too long. If you’re drinking a lot of water, you’re constantly moving what doesn’t need to be there anymore leaving you feeling light and healthy.

5. You perform better athletically.

There’s a reason everyone says to stay hydrated while working out or exercising. It’s because your body sincerely needs it. Not only do you need to replenish fluids you’re losing due to sweat, water helps your muscles work properly.

6. You’re headache-free.

Headaches are a total drag and make everything else you’re doing 10 times more difficult. But fear not! Water is one of the best, natural remedies for headaches. Frequently, headaches are actually caused by dehydration. Tension headaches can be caused by fatigue and as we already discussed, water is helpful in fighting fatigue. Water really seems to do it all.

7. You save money.

On top of all the other amazing things water does for you, water is...drumroll please...FREE! You might notice your wallet getting thicker when you switch to water as your go-to beverage. Just bring your bottle with you and fill up. Save some cash and feel great. Doesn't get much better than that. 

Now that you know why you should be drinking water, how do you make sure you're getting enough? Having a bottle you can carry (that you also love and represents your personal style) is hugely beneficial. It should be something that makes you excited and happy when you see it. Think of it as a fashion accessory. This will remind you to bring it everywhere so you're never without water. 

Our Infinite Ice Bottles are perfect companions on your thirst-quenching journey. They magically keep beverages cold for 24 hours - YES, 24. But don't think we forgot about you tea and coffee lovers! These bottles also keep liquids warm for 12 hours. How insane is that? 

We’ve got two beautiful color choices, our "ADVENTURE" Infinite Ice Bottle comes in Hot Pink at 34 oz (1 Liter) and "Let’s Go Hard" comes in Mint at 26 oz (770 mL). 

Yay, hope you guys like them! Let us know in the comments if you're Team Mint or Team Pink!

Hi beautiful POPFLEX family!!! I just recently went on a hiking this pass weekend. i was wondering when you will have the termal water bottles again. because during my hike i have lost the silver top of my termal and had dents to it. needing it badly.

— Mary Urbino

Hi guys. I want to know if it’s possible for the mint bottle to be also available in 34 oz size. I super like that colour and want to get that but if it’s in the little size, it’ll be easier to keep track of the water intake.

Love your theme and designs and I’m super excited for your new collection and I’ll sure be ordering some good stuff
