WATER HABIT of children

WATER AND MILK

Children need to drink a lot of fluids through the day to keep their hydration levels up. Children with inadequate fluid intake can be irritable and have difficulty in maintaining mental concentration. Water and milk are the best forms of fluids for children. Milk contains proteins, lactose and minerals (including calcium) that are beneficial for growing children. Milk also contains a high amount of water (approximately 90%) so it is actually good for hydration. Children of 4 to 5 years quite often drink 1 litre of milk per day. Getting children into a good habit of drinking water early is a wise thing. Apart from merely quenching thirst, WATER is the perfect source of hydration and a great way to detoxify their little bodies.
