BPA Free Sports Bottles

23-Feb-2009

I try to stay as active as I possibly can, running several times a week and going to the gym once or twice a week depending on other commitments. It’s so important when exercising to ensure that you body stays hydrated, and I find the best source of this to simply be a bottle of water.

I’ve been using plastic bottles on my runs and trips to the gym for as long as I can remember, but recently became aware of the dangers that this may actually cause.

Polycarbonate drinks bottles can leach dangerous chemicals such as BPA into the water that you consume. This has been connected with a number of serious illnesses and is far from safe. Not to mention the fact that plastic will take about 700 years to effectively biodegrade, and the construction of plastic consumes oil and energy sources.

It was time I took some affirmative action for the sake of my health, and so I found some fantastic BPA free sports bottles at onegreenbottle.com. Their Mudpuppy range is fantastic and comes in a variety of sizes, colours and cap attachments. My new BPA free sports bottle is excellent and more importantly, safe.
