Fat vs. Fit?
|
|
The Cooper Institute published a study in 2004 showing that the health risks associated with an elevated BMI are reduced in diabetics if their fitness level is high (Diabetes Care, 2004). So, get out there and walk, run, bike, swim, play tennis or do anything that gets your heart rate up!

| Description:
|
This is a replacement water filter that will fit not only LifeStraw water bottles, but also Camelbak, Contigo (some models), Hydroflask, Kleen Kanteen, Nalgene, and more (minimum bottle height: 7.3 inches). It is a 2-stage filter: the microbial filter will remove bacteria (E. coli) and parasitic protozoa (cryptosporidia, Giardia), but not viruses (hepatitis A). The activated carbon capsule removes chemicals like chlorine and improves taste.

Two different-sized threaded caps: standard and wide-mouth. Two mouthpieces: standard and sport.

It's compatible with many different brands of water bottles. In addition, LifeStraw (parent company Vestergaard) gives back: one product, one school child, one year of clean water.
