World Bicycle Day 2021: Here’s Why You Should Make Cycling a Daily Habit





Cycling is a multidimensional activity; it is not just a mode of transportation, but taking up cycling as a regular activity has various benefits to health too. Alternatively, a bicycle is a clean and eco-friendly mode of transportation. 

 As we celebrate World Bicycle Day 2021 today, we look at some of the major benefits of taking up cycling as an activity:

Improved Cardiovascular health

Many experts believe taking up cycling as a regular activity can help you improve your heart’s health and minimize the risk of severe cardiac problems. According to Medicalnewstoday.com, cycling as regular exercise can also keep your blood pressure levels in check. High blood or hypertension increases your risk of having heart-related health issues.

Good for Weight Loss

Cycling is very good exercise for people who are looking to shed some extra pounds from their body. A good hour of cycling can help you burn 400 to 1000 calories, depending upon the intensity and the rider weight.

Improved Lungs’ Health

Taking up regular cycling can help you improve the health of your lungs. Cycling’s rhythmic, cyclical nature is very beneficial to the lungs. While cycling, the lungs are constantly supplied with fresh oxygen, and the higher breathing rate develops the surrounding muscles. A healthy lung can absorb more oxygen-rich air because it circulates more air across the lungs.

Apart from these it is an eco-friendly transport & makes environment more clean.

We should use more & more e-bicycles to protect our environment and also make ourselves less dependent on fuels which are fast depleting and not good for our environment.

ABOUT US :

Hydrte was launched in 2019 with one main goal in mind, to produce a water bottle that helped significantly reduce single-use plastic consumption, whilst being stylish & convenient.

One million single-use plastic water bottles are sold every 60 seconds worldwide.

This is a huge problem for our planet.

60% of these bottles end up in landfill or even our rivers and oceans. 

The Hydrte bottle was designed in London, inspired by the busy lifestyle of the city itself. The shape of the Hydrte bottle is unique, practical and convenient.

  Do you Buy Recycled? Make Thoughtful Purchases That Actually Help The Planet Did you know that recycling doesn't end at the bin? If you're like most people, you probably already recycle your empty containers at home and on the go. Thank you! Recycling is such an important step to keep valuable materials out of the landfill and in the economy, preventing pollution while creating green jobs. Now it's time to complete the cycle of recycling. It's just as important to buy products made with recycled content as it is to recycle. Our consumer choices have an impact far beyond the register. We simply have to stop extracting so much from the Earth. To unlock all those environmental and economic benefits that come with recycling, your recyclables have to transform into new products. In other words…  you already recycle. Now it's time to Buy Recycled. As in previous blogs I have already discussed on plastic recycling, and it's importance, I urge all to buy recycled item

You’ll be happy to know that water provides plenty of benefits. And we want to give you 5of the often-overlooked benefits of drinking water. 1.

The Last Straw – Reducing Single Use Plastics

Image
  It’s fast approaching the end of July, and with it the month long campaign dedicated to raising awareness about minimising the purchase of all products with plastic packaging and in particular reducing single-use plastics.   The publicity campaign may well have calmed down a tad by now, but this year, more than previous years, the message seems to have permeated further, taken a hold within communities and the ripple effect can be seen and felt if one is discerning enough to notice. . It’s not just those flimsy plastic bags that are getting negative press though. It’s also plastic straws and water bottles and microplastics which are floating in our waterways and oceans and being gobbled up by fish and then…yup, you guessed it, gobbled up by us! It can all seem a bit overwhelming, too big a problem to possibly tackle all on your own. Even when we’re told there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050, it’s hard to really know where to start. But sm
