Everything in our bodies depends on water, and when we exercise, we lose it through our sweat, breath, and urine. So it’s important to drink water throughout your workout — in addition to the eight glasses a day you need for good health.

Tap water, and even bottled water, may be full of contaminants, so Dr. Lark recommends drinking water that’s been filtered. The Seychelle Water Filter Bottle includes two high grade coconut carbon filters that reduce up to 99.9% of contaminants such as giardia, cryptosporidium, and chlorine. All you do is pour the water in and the filter cleans it for you. It’s lightweight and portable and comes with 2 filters. Each filter gives you up to a year of clean, filtered water.
