Apple sparked controversy over technology with a Rs 5,000 smart bottle after selling polished cloth for Rs 1,900 last year. What is a smart bottle? Are there better ways to find out if we need to drink more water?
Drink plenty of water. It is good for your health. If these words are not an incentive to stay hydrated, then Apple has a solution that will cost you around Rs 5,000.
Consumer Electronics Company sells smart water bottles that will tell you when to drink water and how much you need based on your physical activity and other parameters. HidrateSpark Smart Water Bottles allow users to automatically track their water usage and sync it with Apple Health. The two variants - HidrateSpark Pro and HidrateSpark Pro STEEL - are priced at $ 59.95 (approximately Rs. 4,594) and $ 79.95 (approximately Rs. 6,126) respectively.
It is not currently available in India, but the US launch has created excitement for the new technology. Last year, Apple unveiled a shiny cloth that will take Rs 1,900 out of your wallet. No one was affected by the exorbitant price of microfiber fabric, while alternatives were available in the market for a fraction of the price.
How can a smart water bottle make our lives easier if we ignore the price?
Most of us may not be drinking enough water, especially those in high intensity occupations or the elderly who may forget to drink, or those who prefer sweet liquids over plain water, Give
Scientists have filled the holes with the popular recommendation to drink 8 glasses of water a day. It depends on the temperature, climate, physical activity, physiology, etc. Smart bottles keep that in mind. However, people who suffer from kidney stones or urinary tract infections should adhere to strict water intake targets on a daily basis.
As people become more health and diet conscious, polite water is returning to our routine, albeit in fancy packaging (some are promoting the sustainability of smart bottles instead of plastic bottles).
But you know what else is smart and can tell you how much water you need to drink for your body.
Signs that you need to drink water are, for example, when your throat, mouth, eyes or skin feel dry, or your urine is clearly pale, or there is no clearness in your body. There is pain, or you feel tired and numb. Hydrate yourself, you can feel better.
On the other hand, there is also water intoxication, a condition in which too much water enters the cells and causes them to swell, causing confusion, drowsiness and headaches. Too much water causes thinning of the sodium level. Sodium regulates the entry of fluids into cells, is a kind of gatekeeper and when it is reduced, the water becomes faster and the cells swell. It puts you at risk for seizures, coma, or even death.
There is no single answer to how much water to drink, let your body tell you. Or, according to a 2020 report on the Harvard Medical School website, a common rule of thumb for healthy people is to drink fluids slowly throughout the day, and this includes water-rich foods such as salads. If you are sweating, which means you are losing a lot of water, drink 2-3 glasses of water per hour.
