Nutrition in Schools Advisory Service

Choose water as a drink…..

Water is essential for effective body function.

Extra water is required when the weather is hot and when undertaking physical activity.

In a hot climate children should be encouraged and given the opportunity to drink plenty of water.

Adolescents need a good understanding of the affects and risks of drinking alcohol. Adolescents who drink alcohol regularly have poorer health and are at greater risk of death due to injury.
