Water is core to our health and way of life. The best way to ensure we drink more water is to carry it around with us at all times. The healthiest and easiest way to do that is to use reusable water bottles. With the new year right around the corner this post showcases the safest and healthiest reusable water bottle options for 2018. The thing we all need to stop doing in the new year is drinking out of plastic single-use, disposable water bottles. According to this Forbes article, We’re Now at a Million Plastic Bottles Per Minute – 91% of which are Not Recycled. Seriously people, we need to knock this off. There is no reason to keep doing this to our planet when it is so unnecessary.
The best way to keep the plastic water bottles out of our waterways and oceans is by making sure you always have a reusable bottle of clean, filtered water on hand. Below are what I consider to be the healthiest reusable water bottle options. When picking a healthy reusable water bottle I recommend sticking with glass or stainless steel. I personally choose to stay away from plastic as they can leach certain chemicals into the products especially when heated. There are also some concerns about the potential health dangers of aluminum.
Here are some of the best and healthiest reusable water bottle options to stay healthy and hydrated.

I feel it is the perfect size and the flip up straw makes it really easy to drink on the go.
