Eat well, drink well, move well, live well
There are countless ways to improve our lifestyle, including actions that help protect our environment. Here are some humble suggestions we believe from the foundation. Ö offers a few tips to take good care of yourself and our blue planet.
Stay hydrated in any situation
Since staying hydrated is so essential, there’s no excuse not to drink more often—whether on the go, hiking, or at work. Not a fan of plain water? Think it’s tasteless? Ö Solutions come to the rescue! These flavorful powders are made with healthy ingredients, free from artificial colors or preservatives, and can be added to your water whenever you like, as they contain no sugar! Just measure the right amount of powder with your Ö bottle, add water whenever you’re ready, and enjoy all the benefits of water and Ö Solutions!
Thinking you’ll never give up your favorite soda? Get creative! Add your favorite Ö flavor to homemade sparkling water. We’ve done our own taste tests, and it works like a charm! This will help reduce refined sugar intake and the waste from plastic bottles, cans, and glass bottles!
Use a reusable bottle
Did you know that single-use plastic accounts for 9% of all plastic waste? Bottles from many major beverage brands rank as the third most polluting items worldwide! And to add to that, only 7% of bottles are recycled globally. This concern is one of Ö’s key motivations. Since we care about our planet's health, we wanted to make a difference by creating an Ö-branded bottle you can reuse endlessly and guilt-free.
Exercise regularly
Just like staying hydrated, staying active is essential for aging well! Aim to engage in light-to-moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes, five times a week. You can achieve 30 minutes of activity in one session or break it into three 10-minute blocks—convenient for busy people! Staying hydrated before, during, and after exercise is important; you can read why here. The ultimate goal is to maintain muscle tone and flexibility that allow us to stay independent for as long as possible.
Adopt a healthy diet
As you probably know, while hydration is vital, adopting a healthy diet is equally important! Here are some basic guidelines:
- Avoid ultra-processed foods, fast food, trans fats, and overly sugary drinks;
- Opt for local foods, fresh or minimally processed fruits and vegetables;
- Cook your own meals using fresh ingredients, including varied proteins;
- Make water your drink of choice;
- Don’t neglect whole grains, and
- Eat seeds and nuts if you’re not intolerant or allergic.
To promote responsible consumption, plan meals to reduce food waste. Choose locally grown or produced foods to lower your carbon footprint and support local farmers and producers. Why not plan at least one plant-based meal each week? Not only will this allow you to discover new foods, but it will also add variety to meals that often become repetitive.
Reduce our environmental footprint
While many companies use non-recyclable individual packets, we’ve designed a reusable measuring spoon for our solutions. It’s the perfect tool to ensure you’re adding the right amount of Ö to your water! Another clever way to minimize our environmental footprint! Ö is proud to contribute to a better world, one reusable water bottle at a time!
