Staying at home, proper personal hygiene, eating right, and social distancing certainly help a lot in "flattening the curve" and containing the coronavirus threat across the world. However, at some point you might have to go outside, either to restock on home essentials or to engage in limited outdoor exercises. Whatever you do, it is best to keep yourself hydrated along the way.
Hydration helps in keeping your immune system strong, which helps your body fight effectively against viruses and diseases. According to the healthcare company Abbott, your body needs fluids and electrolytes to function at its best, and that proper hydration helps with recovery from symptoms such as fever and coughing, both of which can easily dehydrate you.
To store water (or some other healthy beverage) you need while going outside and keeping yourself hydrated during the coronavirus lockdown, you will need a strong, good-quality water flask, of which seven are listed here:
With two sizes and 10 colors to choose from, the Hydro Flask Wide Mouth 2.0 delivers wide open refreshment whether indoors or outdoors. It has a curved radius at the bottom edge for a lightweight look, and uses TempShield technology to keep your drink at the desired temperature.
The Hydro Cell Water Bottle lets you hang on tight to it through an anti-slip powder-coated layer. It comes with two types of lids: an attached stainless steel screw cap that creates an air-tight vacuum seal for a spill-free walk, and a sport cap with straw that is ideal for limited outdoor exercise.
Available in 24 and 40-ounce options and with five colors to choose from, the ThermoFlask water bottle helps keep your beverages at your desired temperature through double-wall stainless steel vacuum insulation.
