To keep myself healthily hydrated throughout the day I’ve been in the habit of using the Glass GTS Kombucha drink bottles, as they are heavy glass and have a nice screw cap. The bottles I prefer are the special series they create each year that have positive sayings on the bottle wrapper. This gives a nice feel to the water as well. (See Dr. Emoto’s book, The Hidden Messages in Water.)

So, first I filter the water with a water pitcher filter to remove the chlorine and other undesirable chemicals. Then I use the NAT water structure unit as a funnel to pour filtered pitcher water into the bottles as neatly as possible. (Yes, I put a towel under them in the process.) Then I use four drops of Sea Minerals to add back natural minerals that the area’s water processing plant removed. These Kaimana Trace Minerals are what I use. The drops are salty. You can get a similar effect with minerals by adding a tiny pinch of Himalayan salt to the water.
Then I place the bottles all over the house and in my car. This a way easy, clean way to get good tasting water that is happily restructured and available to me throughout the day.
Another option for minerals is natural mineral water. If you like sparkling mineral water Gerolsteiner is good and available by the case at Trader Joes and other fine stores. I like it because it’s in a large glass bottle and has a good screw cap. Amazon has it too, but it is heavy to ship.
In addition, for a hydrating food, I find when watermelon is in season I dive right in and munch on it for a better hydration level.
Finally, electrolytes affect hydration — they are more about getting your body to respirate fluids well and to restore hydration quickly. Propel and Lifewtr are good for this as they have no sugar as so many brands do. I’ve seen Lifewtr in airports in the past.
