Presence of Drinking Water in Schools
Drinking
sufficient fluids can have a tremendously positive impact of children’s health
It’s especially important for kids to stay hydrated so they can perform at
their best!
Unfortunately,
students often choose sugar-sweetened beverages to accompany their meals.
Water is a healthy, inexpensive alternative to these drinks. Choosing
water over these sugary beverages can also help with weight management.
Young children have a higher proportion of water in
their bodies than adults – and are therefore more likely to become dehydrated.
Dehydration can cause an array of cognitive and behavioural problems which can
impact students’ ability to learn, giving schools an incentive to encourage
positive water drinking habits.
Water Helps Boost Energy
Some of the negative effects of not drinking enough
water are daytime fatigue, lethargy and headaches. This can greatly impact students’
performance in school. Students who don’t drink enough water also get tired
very easily and may feel drowsy, which can affect their concentration level.
Thus, one can easily tackle all of the problems by simply ensuring that
students are drinking/sipping on water throughout the day, which can help boost
energy. One of the new trends that have been largely adopted by schools all
over is the ‘water bell initiative’. Here, school authorities ring water
bell at regular intervals, ensuring that students drink plentiful water during schools’
hours. This has created more awareness among the school kids about the
importance of drinking more water.
