Super moms know that for the kids to stay healthy and active, they need to drink lots of water throughout the day. Unfortunately, water is not as appealing to kids as the sweet taste of sodas and juices, so how can moms encourage them to go for the healthier water?
One suggestion is introducing your children to infused water. Infused water can help your children hydrate more because it’s much more interesting than plain water. Apart from that, it’s a great substitute to sweetened drinks.
Drinking infused water is a widely accepted healthy practice for a lot of people. Water regulates body temperature and also keeps kids cool even while they are running around and playing. It carries nutrients to cells, while it also dilutes toxins and helps the body flush them out. It boosts the immune system and keeps your children from getting sick. Drinking lots of water helps in digestion and bowel movement too.
Here are some tips on how to encourage your kids to hydrate more with infused water:
Make it colorful. Experiment not just with flavors, but with colors, as well. With colorful fruits in the water, the drink looks visually inviting. With Contigo’s Tritan Pitcher, the seeds and fruit stay on their side of the pitcher while still making the water appealing to your kids. The Ice Core keeps the water cool and ready to pour and drink without the melting ice diluting the flavor.
Give your kids their own drinking bottle. Have them personalize it. They can put stickers on it and write their names at the bottom.
Want to wean your child off soda? Use sparkling water for your fruit-infused drinks instead of just the flat purified water. It’s an extra treat, especially on a hot day, without having to resort to unhealthy sodas.
Make infused water ice cubes. Freeze your infused water, along with small pieces of fruits in an ice tray and add them to your child’s water. Kids prefer really cold water, they like it even better with ice in it.
Be an example. Do your kids see you drinking a lot of infused water throughout the day too? Go ahead and let them see you enjoying the infused water using the Contigo Tritan pitcher.
