We all know that adults need to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. That number is based on a 2,000-calorie diet, activity level, and other factors. The idea is that for every calorie burned, people should drink 1 milliliter of water and there are 2,000 milliliters of water in 8 cups. However, when it comes to children, their caloric intake varies depending on their activity level.
How much drinking water do little children need?
According to a study led by researchers at Queens College of the City University of New York, children need between five and eight glasses of water a day. Of course, some kids need more, some less. Some days, you will have to increase your child’s water intake if it is hot out or if they are recovering from an illness. Sure, fruit, veggies, sugar-free frozen treats, and even low-fat milk are all ways to help keep your child hydrated. But, water plays an essential role in your child’s health.
Did you know your child’s body is made up of 60% water? So how do you make sure they are getting their daily recommended intake?
