Dieting or not, the most important thing for our wellbeing is to drink water.
It might sound like an overheard thing, something that everyone tells us.
It might seem overrated and foregone but that's it: IT IS the most important thing for sure.
We need water for everything in our body, essentially to live.


Often we do forget to drink or it's not easy for us to keep on doing it.
Just know our bodies are made of water for 60% of our weight and we need to integrate fresh and new water back again into our organism to get the organs function properly, as we tend to lose it with perspiration, urine and so on.
Dehydration is a really bad thing for us and can cause the loss of energy and even headaches: it's something not to underestimate.

The new year has begun and I'm sure many of your resolutions include "drinking more water" as a good proposition. You can see how much water you should drink daily with this water intake calculator.
We have overindulged in foods during holidays and perhaps not exercised enough, but now that those days are behind us we can finally start with a fresh mind and healthier habits.

Many are the benefits of water:
- it improves physical health and general well-being;
- it helps avoiding extra food and drink calories, promoting weight loss;
- it keeps our cognitive functions working and our mood raised;
- it improves the skin, keeping the complexion flawless and glowy.

Who hasn't think of a device that reminds us to drink?
The oldest thing some of us have done is to set up a phone alarm every hour, but this was really annoying and in the end, we've turned it off: we are not always at home and cannot bear too many alarms, especially when we're at work and our boss would be pissed.
Then, some apps came to rescue, but they had an alarm as well: not something quiet that people around us won't mind.



Now we have Hidrate Spark 2.0 which is a really smart water bottle that glows to remind you to drink your water. How cool is that?
At home, at work, outside in the open: this bottle is not the regular one we used to keep in our purse, it reminds us quietly to stay hydrated, without annoying anyone.
It basically syncs with its smartphone app via Bluetooth; tracks the water intake and suggests the right daily amount according to our height and weight; glows as a helpful reminder and doesn't need charging as it comes with long-lasting replaceable batteries.

I love this stylish 710ml BPA-Free frosted pink bottle for $54.95.
You can choose between 5 colors: teal, black, purple, white and pink.
The design is very pretty and modern. The plastic is sturdy and resistant and the push-to-open cap doesn't open easily if you don't want to, nor it leeks whatsoever.
It has a sensor stick that registers every ml/oz you drink.
The app is intuitive and tracks daily progress, also syncing to Fitbit, Apple Watch, Google Fit, My Fitness Pal and other apps if you're already using any for your fitness goals.


It is the perfect gift for yourself and/or a loved one, as it's the smartest thing for the health, since it keeps you on track with your water intake, giving you a goal to stick to.
And it's really easier to remember to drink and to actually do it without having to struggle.
