I’m a bit of a water junkie, it’s my go-to drink of choice whether it be straight up or spiked with lemon, it’s always a favourite choice for me. I keep a water bottle close at hand as I go about my day and even I know that I still don’t get the recommended glasses of water into everyday. It’s hard!
I’m not alone, in a recent survey conducted by Brita, 78 per cent agreed they should be drinking more water than they do. For many, it’s more easier and more enjoyable to grab a can of pop, or other sugary drink, Canadians value convenience.
Other highlights include:
– 95 per cent of Canadians agree that the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda pop and sports drinks contribute to obesity
– While 91 per cent of respondents felt that obesity is more of a problem in Canada today than it was five years ago, Canadian continue to consume sugary drinks with over two billion sugary drinks consumed annually in Canada.
– 21 per cent of Canadians suggest they do not drink enough water because they do not like the taste of tap water. Additionally, 16 per cent are concerned about water purity levels
I think the key to drinking more water is to have it conveniently accessible in the fridge, we keep both a large pitcher of water and water bottles cooling at all times. My boys have each had a water bottle in the door of the fridge where they can reach it since they were very young. It encourages them to not only drink water, but to be independent as well. No whining ‘Mom I’m thirsty!’ at all! They know they are only allowed water between meals and can help themselves at any time, especially after a mini wrestling match or game of road hockey!
Great tasting water never looked so good!
For the past couple of weeks, my family has switched to the Brita filtration system. We love the sleek looking Brita Pattern Series Grand Pitcher in black, it looks great in the fridge and holds 10 cups of water! This pitcher is a bit of a beast, and weighs a lot once filled, but I love having as much water as possible on hand, especially on weekends when both my husband and I are refilling glasses throughout the day. Assembling the pitcher for the first time was easy and only took a few minutes, now all we need to do is flip the easy fill lid open and pour in the tap water. The filter does the rest and the electronic filter change indicator will let us know when it’s time to replace the filter. 1 filter can replace 300 water bottles and should be replaced every 40 gallons or 151 litres. This typically means every 2 months for an average family. The pitcher is BPA free, has a comfort grip handle and I love that the spout is covered.
The boys call my Brita water bottle my ‘sippy cup’ because of the flip up spout is similar to their old drinking cups, it makes me laugh! I love the funky, purple design, it makes drinking water fun! I also like that on the back of the bottle the measurements are marked on the bottle in both millilitres and ounces.
The Brita filters reduce chlorine, mercury, copper and more from drinking water and leaves behind fresh, great tasting water. This definitely helps when you are trying to consume more water through the day and live a healthy lifestyle!
On the road to healthy hydration? Brita can help!
