If children (and adults) are not replacing the water they lose on a daily basis through breathing, perspiring and elimination, which is 1 liter of water for every 25 kg of body weight, then they are dehydrated. The cumulative effect of daily dehydration, is long term disease and illness. We found that most children simply don’t choose to drink water because they don’t like the taste of it. Alkaline Water fixes that – kids love the taste! Many parents ask us if the foods and other drinks children have each day will also hydrate them. The answer is Yes, they can receive up to 20% of their daily water need from these sources, depending of course on what it is they are eating.
