Can you afford not Traveling Without the best portable water filter bottle?<\/h2>\n

G<\/span>et Ready for a Running Stomach if you don’t!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you traveling to some faraway place like Africa or Asia for your vacation?\u00a0 You are ready;\u00a0 your travel checklist<\/a> is intact with everything you think you need to take with you in the emergency kit.<\/p>\n

You are ready; \u00a0your travel checklist is intact with everything you think you need to take with you in the emergency kit.\u00a0You have read about what ailments you should be vaccinated against.<\/p>\n

Certainly, diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and so on are rampant in some parts of the world. But have you remembered Montezuma Revenge?<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

No?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t even know what that is? \u00a0<\/strong> Well, it is time to find out. It is one of the most common ailments\u2014you might even call it a disaster\u2014which affects travelers from the first world countries when they are traveling in third world and developing countries.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, this is easy to avoid with a SureAqua filter bottle; it’s an amazing portable water purifier.<\/p>\n

Did you know about these water-related ailments?<\/h2>\n

What is Montezuma\u2019s Revenge?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Montezuma\u2019s revenge is caused by food and water poisoning. It is also referred to as the traveler\u2019s diarrhea. Yes, cholera\u2014got your attention there now, didn\u2019t I? While the term Montezuma originated from Mexico, you can get it anywhere in the third and second world where cholera is usually a major concern.<\/p>\n

Traveler\u2019s diarrhea is a serious disease that is not only waterborne but also leads to the devastating loss of water from your body.\u00a0 From your travel plan<\/a>, find out whether you will go to a country where you could contract cholera.<\/p>\n

Bali Belly<\/h2>\n

Another serious ailment that you could suffer from is Bali belly, so-called because most people from the Western world would suffer from it if they went to Bali thanks to contaminated water, food and fruit. However, you could suffer from Bali belly while visiting anywhere in Asia. One of the most common symptoms of this condition is a running stomach, and trust me it will run until you dry up and your skin is hanging in folds.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

Delhi Belly<\/h2>\n

When getting your travel plan ready, remember that no matter how much water you carry from home, it will certainly run out. You get to India and due to the hot and humid climate, sooner or later you will be tempted to take a drink from the taps. Hopefully, your travel checklist contained water bottles.<\/p>\n

And then the warning that your travel agent gave you flashes in your mind \u2013 DON\u2019T DRINK TAP WATER! Your travel insurance probably won\u2019t cover a disaster like the Delhi belly and even if it will believe me, water diarrhea is not an ailment that you want to experience unless you want to wear layers of diapers like an overgrown kid.<\/p>\n

When your stomach starts running, you are in a state of emergency. No bush is safe from you!\u00a0 You don\u2019t want that, do you?<\/p>\n

In case the dangers of water diarrhea have not sunk in yet, you should know that this emergency condition kills more than 5 million people every year, and\u2014you guessed it\u2014most of them are from developing countries. But contaminated water doesn\u2019t know that you are from the West. It will eat you up and soon you will, unfortunately, be running from both ends.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Elizabeth K – US” portrait_url=”https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elizabeth-400×275-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]”Just Sensational..

If you have been to India and you have drunk water from a tap\u2014no matter how little\u2014unlike the locals who never seem to get affected by the water, it could be disastrous for you. Again, if you take too much water in one sitting, you could suffer from water poisoning. Too much water can be dangerous.<\/p>\n

Traveling… Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn\u2019t it? Well, not with the scary title that I used to introduce this article. But then again, as I once heard an African say, you have to call a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Say it like it is!<\/p>\n

Every year, over 3.4 million people in the world die of water-related infections. Don\u2019t be a number! \u00a0As you travel, you could pick up a case of Delhi belly\u2014yes, it\u2019s real! And no, same as food poisoning, this does not mean that someone poisons your water intentionally\u2026 well, unless you go making enemies right, left and center in your sojourns.<\/p>\n

In your travel checklist<\/h3>\n

If you are a seasoned traveler, you start preparing in advance. In fact, you create a travel checklist so that you don\u2019t leave anything behind. Unless you are going on a hiking vacation, not many people remember to include their water bottle. After all, they think they will find water wherever they are traveling to.<\/p>\n

You need to pack your own means of water purification! No one can overemphasize this. It is important that you have your own means of cleansing the water you will drink when you travel. Thankfully, with one of the best water filters, you will be good to go!<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why you should carry a portable water bottle in your emergency backpack, but let\u2019s start with the fact that you will be able to avoid conditions like Bali belly, which could have you heaving out your tummy within less than 5 hours of drinking contaminated water. Here are some other reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • It is a portable water bottle. That means it is very convenient to take it around with you everywhere you go.<\/li>\n
  • It is not just one of the best water purifiers, but it is built with patented water filtration technology that has been tried and tested on water from different sources. \u00a0By purifying your own water, you will be safe from diseases like Montezuma\u2019s revenge. You see, where you find it hard to trust even the store-bought water, you can definitely trust<\/li>\n
  • By purifying your own water, you will be safe from diseases like Montezuma\u2019s revenge. You see, where you find it hard to trust even the store-bought water, you can definitely trust water that you have filtered on your own.<\/li>\n
  • When going camping, you want to have your emergency essentials intact. Your kit must include the best water filter.<\/li>\n
  • This water filter is reusable. You will find that it keeps intact for years, still giving as good a service as when you bought it.<\/li>\n
  • It is not a mere water bottle. It is the best water bottle, with patented filtering and purification technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”icon_list arrow_carrot-right_alt2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” ul_line_height=”1.5em”]<\/p>\n

    But I have travel insurance!<\/h3>\n

    That is good, but have you asked your travel agent or insurance agent whether your travel insurance will cover ailments like Bali belly? Chances are that it doesn\u2019t! Thus, you are practically on your own. However, fret not because, with the best water filters, you will be safe! If you are going on a trekking vacation, you need to have a survival kit and your portable water bottle must be one of the first items to go in the kit.<\/p>\n

    If you forget your water bottles, you will know you have Delhi belly when you:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Start experiencing cramps<\/li>\n
    • Have nausea accompanied by vomiting<\/li>\n
    • Have a rising temperature<\/li>\n
    • Feel general weakness<\/li>\n
    • Have diarrhea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Even one of the symptoms will make you miserable, so just imagine all of them combined! Don\u2019t find yourself in that situation just because you forgot to carry one of the best water bottles that can allow you to enjoy purified water all the time\u2014water that is free from E.coli. Even if you buy bottled water from the stores, don\u2019t drink it right away. Pass it through the best water purifier first. That way, you can get rid of heavy metals, odors, and chemicals.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Glass-of-Water-with-Hand1.jpg” title_text=”Glass-of-Water-with-Hand1″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”400px” max_height=”40%”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text module_class=”icon_list icon_check” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”15px” ul_line_height=”1.7em”]<\/p>\n

      The best water filter bottle should be able to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Get rid of bacteria from your water. You already have enough E.coli in your small intestines, no need to get more from water<\/li>\n
      • Get rid of smells and odors<\/li>\n
      • Get rid of chemicals and heavy metal traces<\/li>\n
      • Whenever you are planning a vacation, survival kits come foremost in your list of items to buy. You must then pack the right items in your kit. You need to have a couple of water bottles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Believe me, even if a volcano doesn\u2019t rumble and erupt when you are in Indonesia, you still need to have an emergency kit with you. Once you know which areas your sojourns will take you from your travel plan, you will know what to carry in the survival kits.<\/p>\n

        [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

        For example, if your trip takes you away from the main cities, then your chances of contracting the E.coli are high and you could fall ill with traveler\u2019s diarrhea. Don\u2019t let that happen to you.<\/p>\n

        Don\u2019t leave on your trip without the best water purifier if you love your life. In your travel checklist, you will need to include a few essential items and the best water filter is one of them.<\/p>\n

        Conclusion<\/h3>\n

        Although your small intestines have E.coli, this is also the culprit that causes food and water poisoning and could render you bed (or is it toilet) ridden with diarrhea in less than 4 hours. The only remedy to that is to have one of the best water filters in your emergency essentials. Do not leave home without a travel checklist and a GoFreshWater filter bottle in your emergency kit.<\/p>\n
