Hydration Project

 Health4Kids team continues to encourage the avoidance of unhealthy lifestyles that may lead to serious health consequences in adulthood. For example, the primary health approach that encourages increase water intake among children and reduces sugar intake may reduce a child’s chances of developing Type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Furthermore, children’s brains would benefit from calmness due to proper hydration, thereby resulting in positive learning outcomes. Water sustains life and enables our body to carry out its function during the day. As children grow, it is paramount, they learn how vital water is to their bodies and environment. Children need to constantly re-hydrate as water is the primary way to regulate their body temperature. The purpose is to help facilitate alertness of children’s mental state for optimal learning at school by hydrating, increasing water intake to reduce a fluid loss (vital electrolyte) during physical activities
