Children who drink water are less likely to consume sugary beverages, according to a new study. Sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks and juice have been associated with obesity, diabetes and cavities.
Children and teens who drink water are less likely to consume sugary beverages throughout the day, according to a new study.
Researchers analyzed data from 8,400 children and teens ages 2 to 19 collected between 2011 and 2016 as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is administered yearly by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Parents and kids were asked to recall what the children had consumed in the previous 24 hours, and the calories were added up. One out of every 5 kids and young adults reported that they did not drink water in the day prior to the survey.
For parents looking to encourage healthy habits, Muth recommends offering water as the first and preferred beverage choice starting at 6 months of age, limiting access to sugary drinks, modeling drinking water themselves and making drinking water more fun by infusing it with fruit, mint or a squirt of lime or lemon."Kids who don't drink water are more likely to get their fluids elsewhere," Muth said.
