Robinsons Enjoy More Water

3 June 2016 by Eileen 4 Comments

Earlier this January, Robinsons launched the Enjoy Drinking More Water campaign as part of a mission to get brits to enjoy drinking more water.  Have you joined in yet?  We were thrilled to take part in this campaign at the London Wetland Centre and to learn the importance of enjoying drinking more water to keep us hydrated.

How do you know if you are not adequately hydrated?  These are the signs of poor hydration: being thirstier than normal, dry, sticky mouth, dark urine, headache and feeling tired with reduced concentration.

Did you know that children in fact need almost as much water as an adult as 70% of their body are made up of water?  Two out of three (64%) parents say they do not know how much water their children should be drinking each day.  Studies show that children from the age of 2 to 3 require 1.3l, aged 4 to 8 required 1.6l and aged 9 to 13 boys require 2.1l whilst girls need 1.9l.  There are 42% that say their children find the taste of water ‘boring’.  So how do you help your child to drink more water?

So how do you keep yourself hydrated?
