Water Part II
Water Part II
1. Survey Results and New Questions
According to our survey last week.
54% of FRES consume a sugary drink more than once a day.
58% of FRES drink water with a meal at least once a day.
This week’s survey will be:
How many students in your classroom drink milk at least once a day?
How many students in your classroom drink caffeine? That includes sweet tea, coke, mountain dew, diet coke, coffee, energy drinks, etc…
2. Information
Did you know that you can get water from other places other than the water fountain/sink or the grocery store.
You can find water in milk, 100% fruit juice, fruits, and vegetables.
When your body doesn't have enough water, that's called being dehydrated. Dehydration also can keep you from being as fast and as sharp as you'd like to be. A bad case of dehydration can make you sick.
So keep that water bottle handy in this hot weather! Not only does water fight dehydration, but it's awfully refreshing and has no calories.
Almost as important is making sure you don't drink too many calories with sugary beverages like soda, juice, and sports drinks.
Did you know that a 12 ounce can of soda contains 12 tsp. of sugar. Those are just empty calories. Empty calories means that you body does not need them and they have no nutritional value. If you have already eaten enough that day you body will turn those extra calories into fat.
3. Challenge
Next time your family goes out to eat order water or milk instead of soda or tea.
4. Conclusion
Remember water and milk are always the best choices when choosing a drink with your meals and snacks. Also, water is always the best way to hydrate and avoid empty calories, but if you think it's too blah and it's just not doing it for you, you can always spruce it up by adding a slice of lemon, lime, or orange.
