If any of your new year’s resolutions were to get fitter, drink more water or lead a greener life style then, if you are not already a converted user of Stainless Steel Bottles, here are some good reasons to treat yourself to a good looking and safe bottle.
Don’t Refill your disposable water bottle
It is quite surprising to see how many people in the gym are refilling disposable water bottles, which are manufactured for single use only. One concern is the build up of bacteria as these bottles are hard to keep clean. After repeated use they can also leach chemicals like DEHP (phthalates) or BPA into your drink, which may be linked to cancer and reproductive health problems.

Plastic bottles
Stainless steel bottles keep your drinks fresh and great tasting for longer when plastic bottles often leave the drink tasting (and smelling) flat and stale. As already mentioned above, there is also the ongoing debate about the safety of drinking from polycarbonate plastic bottles containing the chemical BPA.
Aluminium vs Stainless Steel
Also be aware of metal bottles made of Aluminium as most aluminium bottles have a plastic lining to prevent the transfer of taste and smell into the liquid. (This is not necessary for Stainless Steel.) The plastic lining may contain BPA or phthalates, and in addition, recent studies have also linked aluminium to Alzheimer’s disease.
Bottles are not just for those who exercise, they are great for keeping you hydrated throughout the day, and we all know how important that is for our bodies – inside and out! Keeping a bottle on your office desk also prevents accidents of spilled water over technical equipment and important paperwork.
