Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      Staying better hydrated while tossing away fewer plastic beverage bottles are worthwhile goals for the new year…and a company called LifeFuels can help.    They have created a smart connected bottle that stores capsules for different flavorings…if you choose…and can keep track of how much you are drinking.  CEO Jonathan Perrelli…

“So it’s three parts.   It’s the smart nutrition bottle, it’s the fuel pods I mentioned and then it’s a companion app.   The app controls the experience…really enhances the experience.”

The FuelPods can be sent back for recycling…deliver about fifteen servings…and typically cost about 12 dollars.    The LifeFuels Bottle has a list price of 179 dollars…in a starter pack.   So the idea requires a pretty significant investment.    You can learn more at www.lifefuels.com.
