How to Stay Hydrated on the Go With Polar Camel Cups

Even the CDC is on the side of simply drinking water, with detailed information on how much every person should consume daily to help them aim for a healthier life. However, busy people can often find it very hard to get enough water, what with business clients, school drop-offs, or any number of other events that can get in the way of simple hydration. So, what can you do to ensure that you retain your productivity and health by staying hydrated with water each day?

Below, we expand on the benefits of Polar Camel Cups to help you remain at the top of your game while on the go. To help with keeping hydrated, these travel tips will show you how our premium hydration gear gives you that edge over your competition when you need it the most.

Quick Travel Hydration Tips

Many people drink water only when they feel thirsty. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why this never works quite as well as you need it to.

First of all, thirst is a late warning signal. If you are feeling thirsty, your body is already far lower in fluids than it needs to be, and it is instead warning you through cravings that you need to focus on gathering specific materials, namely water. Instead, you need to plan fluid breaks in much the same way that you would plan fuel stops along a journey, keeping yourself topped up before that “low gas” light comes on.

It can also help to give yourself different drinks for the rigors of travel. We would recommend that you pre-fill two Polar Camel Cups before stepping out the door:

• One with chilled electrolyte water for warm weather or following a rush
• One with hot herbal tea for air-conditioned rooms and to warm you up

If you don’t like the taste of plain water, pack some lightweight flavor drops. You can then add these to any chilled water you take with you and avoid picking up other sugary, flavored drinks. One of the benefits of Polar Camel Cups‘ stainless steel interior is that you only need to rinse it to remove any lingering flavors and enjoy a range of experiences during your trip.

Make sure to use spill-resistant lids as you travel, however. Match them to your travel plans, with a slider-style top for car journeys or anywhere that spilling it could mean disaster. Then, you need not worry about each sip causing a minor drip and can instead continually hydrate.

Calculating How Much to Drink During a Trip

At this point, it’s common knowledge that “eight cups of water” is a myth. Water take-in is much more complicated than that, and we’ve learned a lot more over the years.

With your weight being the one variable that alters how much you should drink, many calculations are based on this. The University of Missouri, for example, recommends that you take your body weight in kilograms and divide it by two, then drink that same number in ounces of water each day.

You might then want to:

• Add 12 oz per hour of air travel to offset the low humidity of the cabin
• Use easily transportable portable hydration solutions such as Polar Camel Cups
• Increase your intake based on how much you plan to speak that day
• Split this quota into several smaller servings to track them and refill
• Use simple rewards each time you hit a milestone
• Adjust your water intake if your region happens to be arid
• Bear in mind that what you eat also often has a small amount of water in it

Spot Thirst Early With Simple Checks

If you can’t count exactly how much water you are drinking in any given day, there are a few other, simple checks that you can perform to try to get back up to optimum hydration levels.

While nobody wants to pay too much attention to their bathroom habits, remember that if things look darker, you are falling behind. Drink up, if that’s the case.

Use simple reminders, such as those used for medical purposes, which can often significantly boost your water intake, according to Conroy et al (2024). You can then have the reassurance that you are taking in enough water, no matter the circumstances, and reduce your stress, as the small amounts you take in during these regular reminders can feel less overwhelming.

If you’re unsure how your body is feeling, try a pinch test on the back of your hand. If your body takes too long to return to normal, the low elasticity suggests you are dehydrated, and you need to drink more. Similarly, dry lips or mouth may be obvious, but many people don’t think to take a moment to check how they feel, so ensure that you consider what your body is telling you.

How Polar Camel Cups Avoid Nasty Spills

We have heard plenty of horror stories about people spilling their cups from other manufacturers, and we have listened. Our Polar Camel Tumblers use ring-grips around the bottom edges to add a micro-textured ridge without the need for rubber sleeves. You can expect these to help you hold onto our cups, even when the outside is wet or slightly slippery.

Within the cups, we also use several methods of ensuring that the liquids don’t erupt out, especially when hot, such as:

• Small vent holes to equalize pressure
• Offering several durable drinkware options to prevent cracks
• Internal rings against the rim to form a tight seal
• Low-profile design to fit nicely in cup holders
• Clear lids to allow visibility of liquid fill

Using all these together, you can ensure that you remain hydrated without worrying about little accidents, no matter where you are in the world.
