Do you find yourself easily distracted while working? From phone ringing, (e)meetings to cooping between different tasks, there is always something that can disrupt your workflow. Especially if you're working from home which requires even stronger attention to cope with the intensity of workflow. However, while dealing with work (no matter what kind or type), we easily forget about those little (yet most) important things - to eat, stretch, and most importantly - drink water. Drinking enough water makes you focus better, makes your brain function faster and keeps you awake & energized. We’re all aware of the importance of hydration (if not – make sure to see all the reasons, why you should be chugging down the next sip of water HERE), yet we still easily forget to meet our daily quota. So what can you do to encourage hydration in your workplace and get back to work re-energized? Scroll down & find out. 1 Keep water at your desk Having a water bottle at your desk is the best visual reminder to hydrate. And make sure to choose one with a design and function you really love (all varieties can be found in our online store). This way, filling it up before you head out the door will be a no brainer.  2 Take regular hydration breaks Even in the busiest of days, make sure to take a quick water break. That can be achieved with a simple sip of water, where you take a moment for yourself and relax the mind for just a second. Afterward, your mind and body will be ready to accomplish every little challenge coming along your workday. 3 Keep hydrating snack close at your disposal 20% of your daily water intake comes from the foods you eat, especially in the summertime. That’s why you should find hydrating fruits or vegetables and eat smaller bits once in a while to help you stay hydrated and energized. True boosting food with a hydrating impact can be berries cucumbers, watermelon and any type of leafy greens. Now stop and take a moment to hydrate!   P.S.: Don’t forget to remind others to drink water as well. Happy and healthy co-workers are the kinds we all love the most, right? :)

Did you know that children are at a greater risk of dehydration than adults? In relation to grown-ups, children have a larger proportion of their skin available to lose sweat and be exposed to heat (especially during hot summer days). So by the time children start experiencing thirst, they're already at least 3% dehydrated, and water does far more than quench thirst. Water is a cooling mechanism, it transports fluids and nutrients, improves digestion, helps with cognitive function and maintains a healthy weight (more reasons about the importance of water can be found HERE). That's why you shouldn't wait for your kids to tell you they're thirsty before offering them water. Especially because children don't always recognize immediately that they're thirsty as they're usually too busy having fun :) Photo: lilihalodecoration    Signs and symptoms that your child is (becoming) dehydrated There are a lot of symptoms of dehydration, yet, the easiest way to tell if your child is hydrated is by the frequency of bathroom breaks or wet nappies they have (pay attention to decreased urine output!). Other symptoms might be:   - Thirst - Headaches - Poor concentration - Dry or cracked lips/mouth - Constipation - Increased heart rate or low blood pressure - Dark, strong and concentrated urine or - Mood changes (tired, sleepy, irritable).   Therefore, you should offer them water and other hydrating beverages and food throughout the whole day. Below we list a few simple tricks that will protect your child and allow him to enjoy the playground and school time healthy & active.  Photo: lilihalodecoration   Top three tips & tricks for keeping your kids hydrated all year long 1 Educate your child. Let your little one know about water and the fact that our bodies are made up of approximately 70% of water. Also, they should know the recommended amount of water for them to have is at least 4-6 glasses of water per day.  2 Make their beverage tasty but healthy. Not all kids like to drink plain water. So, play around with it. Make it tasty and colorful by adding different pieces of fruit and herbs in their water. Creating homemade fruit and veggie smoothies is also a great way to add more fluids to your child's body. Needless to say, it's quite fun making them together :)  3 Get a cute water bottle for them. Encourage them to carry their water bottle with them at all times. Have a healthy BPA free and clean water bottle for your kid that will be always full and accessible to them. To make it more fun, let your kids pick out their own water bottle in their favorite color or decorated with their favorite characters (see the whole selection in our online store). This way they'll be more motivated and keen to take it everywhere with them. To keep their hydration at top of the game, pay special attention to hydration before, after, and during their physical activity (whether its sports or ordinary playtime). And never forget that you are a role model for them – so the way you take care of your hydration will always influence them first. It's not always easy to stay on track with everything the little ones are up to, especially when we're not around them. However, keep in mind that good hydration habits last a lifetime, and building them at a small age makes a huge difference!  DON'T WAIT, HYDRATE!   P.S.: Share these tips with a mom you know. She'll thank you for this, we promise.

Living fast and coping with busy schedules, we often end up eating more of what’s convenient, rather than what's good for our bodies. We crave to please our taste buds, yet remain unaware of the health hazards that this style of eating might give us.   ''The best diet is the one that combines two attributes: foods which contain all nutrients essential for our body functions and the ones that boost our mood.''   It is of most importance to practice balanced diet, to stay hydrated and reach for the right nutrients in order to stay healthy and full of energy. And our culinary expert Ayatana is now sharing her story on how she started her journey to healthy dining and revealing her tips to a balanced diet. Meet Aleksandra, the founder of Ayatana Your interest in health goes back to your roots. When did you realize you want to become a gourmet expert and why?It came naturally and it wasn't strategically planned per se. I've always enjoyed spending time in the kitchen, either cooking or baking. Some of my first memories from the time I was very young are actually from the kitchen and I suppose I've been always interested in food. I started discovering plant-based food when I was faced with my health problems in my mid-twenties. This was a breaking point and from there onwards, everything changed in my life. I started focusing more on food in sense not just as something we eat but also as something that really fulfills our bodies. I decided to learn from the best, did my first online course and later onsite experience with Matthew Kenney Culinary Academy team and got a license from this amazing culinary school. Then I combined this with my love for cooking and voila, it happened.  .What do you want to communicate with the chosen branch of culinary? My intentions are not transforming people into vegans or trying to convince them that only plant-based lifestyle is the one that matters. I’d really like to introduce a plant-based food and a plant-based lifestyle as something interesting, different and really tasteful. I strongly believe that my role is in teaching people how to prepare nutritious, colorful, simple and fast plan-based plates. I thrive when I can show people how to add more vegetables and fruits in their diets. If someone decides to go vegan, great, if not that's ok too. Of course, I think as a society we have to pay more attention to the environment and protect animals. I guess once you start paying more attention to how and what you eat, this sensitivity organically enters your life without you even noticing it sometimes. What does the term balanced diet mean to you and how to achieve one? For me, a balanced diet is definitely structured from all the nutrients our bodies need to function well: proteins, vegetables, fruit, carbs, and fat. Among these, I always tend to choose wholesome ingredients which fill my body with vitamins, minerals, fibers & everything my body needs to stay strong and alive. I strongly believe the best diet is the one that combines two parts: getting all the needed nutrients in our bodies and the one that makes us feel good. This is why I never feel bad or guilty after eating a plant-based cake or some comfort food.  . How do you integrate drinking water into your daily routine? I find summer time much easier to drink water or rather I get reminded to drink more water due to higher temperatures. Drinking enough did not come naturally for me to be honest, I had to learn how to "track" thirstiness. What really helped me was the moment I started adding "extras" to my warm water, like lemon, ginger, turmeric, different herbs, and spices. Especially now in winter months. Besides, I always make sure I have my favorite Mismatch Graphite bottle with me all the time. Yes, I have more than one, but I keep this one at the hand's reach always :) . Thank you, Aleksandra, for sharing with us a glimpse of your gourmet path & healthy lifestyle. Find out more about Ayatana on her Instagram & Website.

We all know that it is essential to drink enough water throughout the day. But did you know that with some easy tricks, water also helps you lose bodyweight? Here are some tips you can use: Keep your EQUA reusable bottle with you at all times and drink small amounts of water all day long, so you don’t feel like having snacks or high-calorie drinks. Drinking water will make you feel more full and consume fewer calories. Replace sweet drinks with water. Thanks to this, the amount of calorie intake will be much lower throughout the day and you can save hundreds of calories (and money). Before your meal, drink half of EQUA bottle of water. Your portions will become smaller cause your stomach will already feel more full by the water before you start eating. Drink cold water to speed up your metabolism. If you drink cold water, your body uses more energy to heat the body back to warm. This causes your metabolism to work faster. We recommend having between 2 – 3 liters of water per day, which equals to approximately 4 – 6 EQUA bottles of water.* *For more specialized opinion please contact your doctor or other qualified health professionals.

Summer is in a full swing and since we busy girls are having Active Summer, we need to take care of some proper hydration. The most essential nutrient is water, which maintains blood circulation throughout your body and carries the heat away from your internal organs.  . As summer temperatures hit, here are some useful hydrations tips to keep yourself hydrated and in good shape: . 1. Start your exercise session well-hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids within the hour before, during and after your exercise session. . 2. Eat at least five cups of fruits and vegetables per day, as those contain water and all-important nutrient potassium. . 3. Always carry a water bottle, and if you have a desk job, always keep one at your desk.  If you have a water bottle within arms reach, it’s very likely that you’ll be sipping from it throughout the day, without having to make any extra effort or think about it. . 4. Eat a diet rich in whole foods.  By eating water-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and yogurt, you’ll automatically up your fluid intake. See which foods are reaching with water here. . 5. Sip on a mug of herbal tea every evening.  If you make this a habit, you’ll add an extra cup of fluid to your tally every single day, and it’s also a wonderful way to de-stress at the end of the day. Staying hydrated has real advantages, including helping you maintain your energy and focus high, so your work can be more efficient. . Make sure to turn your water intake into a habit and go and enjoy your summer ;)   Get your EQUA bottle here

Our body needs water and we are all aware of it. But it is rarely known that a whooping 75 % of people don 't drink enough water.   Has it occurred to you today that you are thirsty? Guess what - by the time you experience the sensation of the thirst, you are already dehydrated. So what does this mean? Your body is composed of roughly 60% water. This means when we feel thirst - and most of us spend our days with that feeling constantly - we are affecting the performance of the majority of our body. Almost all of our systems do not function as well without the proper water intake. That is why we should feed our body. Water is essential for the proper circulation of nutrients in the body. It serves as the body's transportation system and when we are dehydrated, things just can't get around as well.   Why should we drink more water? Increase your energy level, productivity and creativity Improve your skin complexion Boost your immune system Regulate your digestion and help you maintain your healthy weight Prevent headaches And while most recommendations focus on how much water we need to drink, not enough is said about how often you should be sipping on your water. The frequency and even distribution of your water intake during the day is actually the key to preventing dehydration. We have kept that in mind while creating the new EQUA Smart Water Bottle, which is here to take your water intake - and overall wellbeing - to the next level. The future of hydration will: Help you understand how much water your body needs daily Glow to remind you to drink when you are running behind Adjust your goal based on activity Track your progress on the hydration app Celebrate with you when you reach your goal and most importantly keep your body healthy and energized Hydration just got simple thanks to smart technology, so let's make drinking water a daily habit!
