Good Food Good Health - Water
Hello everyone
Recently I wrote an article on the danger of chemicals in carbonated drinks, and especially with children in mind. From this I had a great response, and questions arose to what else we should be drinking in what quantities to keep our health safe. I was surprised that many people were not even sure about the elixir of life WATER.
I believe many people just do not know the importance of drinking enough water, whether it is tap or bottled, and are unable to tell the signs that are associated with just being slightly dehydrated, and this is especially true in children.

Children have a higher percentage of body water and also lose water at a faster rate than adults, and so dehydrate quickly which means they need to drink substantially more to replace the loss. Water in a child is 15 percent of their total body weight and an adult has 5 10 percent.
Dehydration can have a vast effect on health and on a child s learning ability. Schools only have one legal requirement on water provision and that is a school shall have a wholesome supply of water for domestic purposes including a supply of drinking water.
