(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 18, 2015 ) Greenwood Village, Colorado -- Surveys of doctors and parents using infused water products report child consumption of infused water as an effective way to combat child dehydration and promote good health.
Low-grade dehydration is a widespread issue that has many doctor's concerned. Christopher Vasey, ND, author of The Water Prescription (Healing Arts Press, 2006), reports in an article that most will be affected regularly from chronic dehydration as a result of poor eating and drinking habits, with a primary issue being, not getting enough water.
This is of great concern for the growing bodies of children. Studies show school children are not getting the proper amount of water to promote good health and hydration. U.S health guidelines report "children are drinking less than 1.2 liters of water per day even though they need a maximum of 2.6 liters for good mental performance and learning ability."
When children are not hydrating throughout the day, there is a good chance they can be somewhat dehydrated, which can negatively affecting energy levels, immunity, digestion, as well as other areas of the body.
Actively drinking more water throughout the day is noted to show almost immediate improvements in well-being, and creating good hydration habits early will promote good health.
Children often will not drink plain water from plastic or stainless bottles unless they are hot and sweaty. Like adults they feedback that plain water is boring and harder to drink than flavored water.
Flavor infused water is being promoted by Great Gear as a great way to encourage healthy water consumption.
The Great Gear Infuser Water Bottle gives parents an effective tool to create desirable flavor infused waters for taking to school and use during school lunches. The company recommends adding fruit into the infuser the night before, storing the bottle in the refrigerator to infuse overnight and adding ice to the bottle in the morning so the infused water will stay cool all day while being consumed.
Great Gear also recommends on it's website and literature that children drink water at meals whether at home or on the go with their Great Gear water bottle, and as well to " think water" by ordering water at restaurants or other venues as well and skip the fruit drinks, juices and sodas.
Beyond drinking infused water, the company also recommends to parents that they may enhance their children's infused water hydration program and overall water intake by additionally eating water-rich fruits. Choosing the fruits with the highest water content will also help to supplement child hydration efforts. Watermelon, Cantaloupe and strawberries all have high water content and help to promote hydration needs without providing extra sugar associated with store bought fruity drinks, and less sugar content than fruit juices.
