Welcome to the Tweed Trends podcast. Hey, Evette, what's trending today? Hey, I'm Evette, hey girl. And you are tuned in to Tweed Trends.
It's the quickest way to find out what's trending today. Hello, and welcome back to Tweed Trends. Today is National Hydration Day. Let's get started.
OK, so to tell you a little bit about National Hydration Day, it was created in honor of a late football coach. His name was Victor Hawkins. And he actually created a hydration mouth guard for his football players to use while they're actually playing. And this cool mouth guard would actually release electrolytes into their mouths so that they could remain hydrated while they're in the process of practicing.
Now, you'd always hear about the football teams that have these two a days. And then all of a sudden, you realize your players are dehydrated, a medical emergency pops up. Sometimes they worked out. Other times they didn't.
So hats off to late coach Victor Hawkins for his design of the safety guard hydration mouth guard. And this goes for you as well. If you're out there in these streets protesting or maybe getting your sweat on, working out, make sure that you take some water with you. Drink water at regular intervals.
Stay hydrated because you know, I'm sure I'm not telling anything you didn't know, that you can only live generally about three to four days without water. The human body is made up predominantly of water. You need water. Soda does not take the place of water.
Yes, it's a liquid, but it is not water. Juices are not water. You need H2O. You need that water in your life.
So like I said, infuse it, get it in. Set an alarm for it. There are even apps out there that will remind you to take a sip of water. And then the other thing, don't confuse that feeling you have in your gut and say that it's hunger.
When nine times out of 10, it's probably your body is thirsty. Whenever you get that hunger, like you feel like, oh man, I'm so hungry, stop for a minute. Go drink some water. See if that can help it.
It may, you know, ward it off for a little bit. And then that feeling may come back. And if it does, then go get something to eat. But start off with something to drink and get some water.
And I'm telling you, not only will you save calories, but staying hydrated, you can just save your life as well. So like I mentioned earlier, if you're out and about it's starting to get hotter, it's summertime now, make sure you carry water with you. However, there's always a catch, right? You got to recognize the fact that there has been a terrible overproduction and overconsumption of single-use plastic.
And a lot of that comes from those plastic water bottles. So because of this overproduction and overconsumption, it has created a global crisis. If you look at the numbers over the past 30 years, you'll see that this trend of these plastic waste, it's been growing exponentially. Exponentially, which means that it's doubling, it's growing faster and faster.
It's just getting out of control. So having said that, you want to know about some places where you can get some water bottles, some companies that have water bottles that are good for the environment. But then here's the extra little piece, the ones that give back as well. So I got a couple listed here for you to check out.
We've got Core Water, that's KOR Water out of California. You can check them out on Twitter at Core, KOR, underscore water. There's Corxical Cantines out of Florida. You can find them on Twitter at Corexical, C-O-R-K, C-I-C-L-E.
There's some NOMA, excuse me not Sonoma, there's Soma Glass Water bottles out of California, and you can find them on Twitter at SomaWater, that's S-O-M-A-W-A-T-E-R, SomaWater. There is, now I don't know if this one is Live Vessel or Live Vessel, but they have a honeybee travel mug, they're out of New York. And you can find them on Twitter at L-I-V-E-S-S-E-L. And then last but not least, there's Simple Modern out of Oklahoma, and you can find them on Twitter at Simple Modern Code, that's S-I-M-P-L-E-M-O-D-E-R-N-C-O.
You can check out any one of these five companies and they'll not only tell you about their products, but also about how they give back to make sure that the environment in our world is being taken care of. So now that we've taken care of ourself, we've got the water, we're getting hydrated, we're using some sustainable means as far as these cups from these companies that are giving back. So that takes care of our surroundings, now it's time to reach out and help somebody else, maybe not so close to home. And for that, I found this awesome charity, it's called Charity Water.
You can find them on Twitter at charitywater, CHA-R-I-T-E-Y-W-A-T-E-R. They are a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. So when you think about it, as important as it is to stay hydrated, to keep water in your bodies, there are people in countries that cannot find clean water or they can find it, but they have to travel so far to get it that that becomes their job for the day, like their kids that don't get to go to school because they have to go to the water hole, and they have to walk there, and it takes a long time to get there. So just something to keep in mind, something to think of, go check them out as well.
They have their whole story there, different ways that you can give, different ways that you can support, and truly make a difference in the world. Well, all right, that was our episode today for National Hydration Day. I hope you enjoyed it, I hope you learned something, and I hope that you would go check out these various companies for these water bottles, these companies that are giving back and they're giving you a good product. I realize you can go to the Dollar Tree and get a water bottle there, or even a bottle of water, but once again, you don't necessarily want to do the bottle of water because of that overproduction issue and the overconsumption of those plastics, but then too, you also want to be able to have something sustainable that you can use over and over again, and not have to worry about, am I the problem with the world?
Am I the reason why? When we get to that situation, like in the book of Eli, that movie that Denzel Washington was in, is it gonna be because of you? We're all lined up at that one little pump, run by that one person in town that you probably don't even like? Okay, I know, I've gone off the deep end.
So once again, check out these companies for me for the core water, core, core, core, core, cactiins, Selma Glass Water Bottle, Lie Vessel or Live Vessel, still not sure which one, Simple Modern, and then also that charity that I mentioned earlier, that's Charity Water. While you're checking all of them out, you know you gotta check me out, if nothing else, to shoot me some hearts, something like that. That's at HEVAT, H-E-E-V-E-E-T-E, or you know, you can always just look for the hashtag, tweet trends. Have a great day, guys.
Stay hydrated, and I'll see you back here on Thursday.
