THE IMPORTANCE OF DRINKING ENOUGH WATER ON CHILDREN

There is no need to discuss the importance of water for every living thing, but we remind you once again that while raising your child, attention should be paid to consuming enough water.

Insufficient water consumption in children has more wearing effects than you can imagine. Physical and mental negativities may appear as a situation closely related to the low consumption of water. In order for this issue not to be a problem for you, the first thing to do is to be a role model as parents.

In these days, when we live the hottest month of summer, the need for water for children, like adults, is higher than at other times. Children's bodies are much more affected by thirst than adults. Their low water consumption can cause physical problems as well as difficulty in focusing and learning.

It is necessary to take care and monitor that children who spend all their days with physical activities such as playing games drink water at least every half an hour. Experts draw attention to the fact that this issue is taken seriously by the parents in order to replace the water lost with sweating. Since eating a healthy and regular diet will bring with it adequate water consumption, a balanced diet lies at the heart of the work. Irregularly eaten meals, carbonated drinks accompanying high-calorie fatty and fried foods prevent consuming enough water. Obesity is inevitable when this issue is not taken into account.
