HAPPY New Year. There are plenty of ways I plan to be healthier in 2023 – and drinking water is one of them.
The amount we each need varies, but most guides say about two litres a day.

Water carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, aids digestion, cushions joints and regulates body temperature.
Even mild dehydration affects blood vessels, can raise heart rate and cause skin to lose elasticity.
Today, I look at water bottles that could get us drinking more.
Gives reminder to refill
Hydration MovementIt feels lovely to carry, has a beautiful texture, an opening that is the perfect size to drink from and a sleek rose lid that hasn’t leaked in my bag once[/caption]
THIS bottle, from the newly launched brand Hydration Movement, certainly isn’t the fanciest.
But it is my favourite. It feels lovely to carry, has a beautiful texture, an opening that is the perfect size to drink from and a sleek rose lid that hasn’t leaked in my bag once (unlike others I have tried).
It has timed markers from 8am to 6pm. When you see how much you have or haven’t drunk during the day, it makes you head to the tap. I love the fact you can get a litre in it at a time too.
I’ve dropped it several times without any issues.
It’s planet conscious too – made from Tritan, the safest plastic in the world and BPA free.

Made from wheat and bamboo
Every time a bottle is sold, the company plants a trackable and traceable tree, wherever in the world it is needed most
S’WHEAT is the world’s first reusable bottle created from plants.
It is made of sustainably-sourced wheat stalks and bamboo fibres.
Every time a bottle is sold, the company plants a trackable and traceable tree, wherever in the world it is needed most.
This bottle is good for both hot and cold drinks and has a carry handle that can clip to clothing or a bag. It looks lovely and is really easy to clean as it unscrews half way down the bottle. And it comes in four pretty colours.
The mouthpiece wasn’t my favourite. A bit small and square.
I couldn’t get a decent “glug” of water when I was thirsty. 550ml capacity, £25, swheatbottle.com.
Self-cleaning freshness

LYT UV-C bottles use ultraviolet light to stay clean and fresh.
In these containers, the UV-C light is in the cap and spreads through the bottle, neutralising any micro-organisms and preventing them from reproducing.
It can kill 99.9 per cent of E.coli in your water. UV is used to sanitise operating theatres and water-treatment plants. The bottle is lightweight and uses premium stainless steel. With double-walled vacuum insulation, it will keep drinks ice-cold for 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours.
The bottle is 100 per cent BPA-free.
You only need to recharge it every three weeks. An absolutely brilliant idea because, let’s face it, do we all wash our bottles out every day? Or is it just me who forgets?The 500ml LYT UV-C bottle, £49.99, zerowater.co.uk
