Water, Water & More Water
As the weather is warming up drinking water throughout the day is important. We strongly encourage ALL students to bring a water bottle to school each day.
Most of our body is made up of water. Water helps maintain body temperature, make bodily fluids and function day-to-day. Dehydration can cause poor sports performance, tiredness, headaches and crankiness and it can lead to serious medical problems.
The body needs to have enough fluid to be able to function at its best.
So how much water should we be drinking?
Avoid sports drinks, fruit juices, soft drinks and flavoured mineral waters since they all contain sugar and are acidic, which can lead to tooth decay.
The recommended daily intake of water for children is:
- 4 to 8 years old: 5 cups
- 9 to 13 years old: 5 to 6 cups
- 14 to 18 years old: 6 to 8 cups
