Introducing The Define Bottle @definebottle

  Water makes up almost every cell of the human body. It helps flush out toxins and removes waste products in the body. It is also a carrier of nutrients like minerals, vitamins and glucose to cells. It also has a role in temperature regulation. Water allows the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature. When the body begins to sweat the evaporation of water from the skin surface works to cool the body. As a fitness professional I cannot express the importance of hydration. I recommend to my clients and athletes to drink a minimum of two to three liters of water daily. Of course this amount varies depending on their activity level. I know personally and I am sure that you can all agree drinking plain boring water isn’t very fun. It’s tasteless and the least bit satisfying. You should never drink juices or sodas to replace water as their high sugar content eventually gets stored in the body as fat. And did you know that artificial sweeteners like aspartame send the same signal to the brain that sugar itself does?  I always recommend spicing up water with fruits to add a natural flavor! There are so many options; lemons, mint, strawberry, blueberry, pineapple just to name a few. You can also mix and match the fruit combos. The options are limitless. I once used mason jars and regular water bottles for my flavored water. I use to get seeds in my mouth and when I was drinking fast chunks of berries. This is never fun not to mention a choking hazard. Then one day I stumbled upon THE DEFINE BOTTLE! This magnificent little bottle was invented by a 14year old named Carter who saw his mother cutting fruits and putting them in a pitcher and inspired him to create what is now known as the define Bottle. The bottle is BPA-free, Phosphate-free, estrogenic-activity-free, androgenic-activity-free, disassembles for easy cleaning and has a re-freezable base piece to keep fruit cool. Its middle filter keeps your fruit bits from getting into your drinking water but allows you to still have the flavor.  This bottle is my absolute favorite kit bag addition. It’s great for hiking, biking, outdoors and even at the gym. It comes with options for a sport bottle top or a regular lid. Both work well. Happy Hydrating! If you want to know more about the bottle and how it came to be. Check out http://definebottle.com Alicia bell www.trainitright.com www.twitter.com/trainitright
