Selecting Nutritious Drinks for Children and Teenagers
Choosing healthy beverages for children is important for their growth and development. It’s essential to opt for drinks that not only quench their thirst but also provide nutritional benefits. Water should be the primary choice, as it keeps kids hydrated and supports overall health.
When it comes to milk, it’s a good source of calcium and vitamin D, essential for strong bones and teeth. If opting for plant-based alternatives, ensure they are fortified with necessary nutrients.
Juice can be enjoyed in moderation, but it’s best to choose 100% fruit juice to avoid added sugars. Ideally, whole fruits are preferable, as they contain fiber and nutrients that juices lack.
Sugary drinks like soda and sweetened beverages should generally be avoided, as they can contribute to unhealthy weight gain and dental issues. Encouraging children to develop a preference for healthy beverages early on sets a foundation for better choices in the future.
