Selecting Nutritious Drinks for Children and Adolescents

Selecting nutritious drinks for children and adolescents is essential for their overall health and development. It’s important to emphasize options that provide hydration and essential nutrients while minimizing added sugars and artificial ingredients. Water should be the primary beverage of choice, as it effectively quenches thirst and supports bodily functions.

Milk is also a beneficial option, offering calcium and vitamin D for bone health. When it comes to fruit juices, moderation is key; whole fruits are preferable, but if juice is consumed, choosing 100% fruit juice without added sugars is advisable.

For older children and teens, avoiding sugary sodas and energy drinks is crucial since these can contribute to unhealthy weight gain and other health issues. Instead, consider offering herbal teas or flavored water with natural ingredients as alternative choices. By making informed decisions about beverages, caregivers can help foster healthier habits that can last a lifetime.
