A new Australian startup is ready to revolutionise our understanding of water and hydration, and it’s doing it in style.
AQUAME is much more than just a water bottle, although the sleek designs and innovative tech seem destined to be shown off on social media.
The Melbourne-based business has developed a durable device that will prevent the disposal of hundreds of single-use plastics. Along the way, the AQUAME bottle and app make it simple to establish goals and monitor daily water consumption, with a rechargeable battery in the LED top indicating the temperature of your water and how close you are to meeting your daily target. If you do fall behind, the water bottle even comes with a handy reminder feature to get you back on track!
During what some scientists refer to as a “epidemic of dehydration,” this product is highly needed. In the United Kingdom, 53% of the population does not drink enough water, compared to 75% in the United States. In Australia, an astounding eight out of ten persons exhibit signs of dehydration, ranging from tiredness, energy loss, headaches, lack of sleep, and difficulties focusing to renal failure, which may be fatal.
Dr. Sarah McKay, a neurologist trained at Oxford, recommends keeping track of your water consumption and not assuming you’ve had enough when you hit ‘8 cups’ – and never, ever wait until you’re thirsty to drink water, which is an indication that you’re already dehydrated. McKay proposes teaching yourself to drink more water by associating it with other habits, such as checking your phone, and filling a reusable water bottle to motivate you to drink more, save money on bottled water, and benefit the environment.
The AQUAME, which comes with an app that allows you to set how much water you want to drink daily, easily connect to the bottle via Bluetooth, and start tracking your progress, is the perfect way to make sure you can set it and forget it when it comes to drinking enough water.
Premium water bottles from AQUAME are airtight, waterproof, and insulated to keep your water freezing cold (or toasty warm!) The trendy stainless steel designs in CASTLE BLACK, COSMO BLUE, and SUMMER PINK are suitable for use everywhere from the beach to the boardroom for up to 12 hours.
