Wild Waters :: Kid's Health: 4 Core Beliefs

There are a few reasons we make Wild Waters the way we do. The one phrase we keep in mind at all times is, “It’s only healthy if they drink it.” That’s why we focus on making healthy kid’s beverages, that kids actually want to drink, while following these 4 beliefs:

1. Kids Need to Drink Plenty of Water

It is commonly recommended that children need to drink roughly 7 cups of water each day depending on their age.
During activity children should take a drink every 15-20 minutes as well as before and after exercise.
Water is responsible for regulating your body’s temperature and delivering vital nutrients among other necessary functions. Many pediatricians recommend children drink a low calorie flavored drink while active because children are more apt to hydrate properly if the liquid tastes good.
More than 60% of your body is made up of water.

Wild Waters makes water fun and more appealing to kids that are bored
of plain water or hooked on high sugar fruit drinks.

2. Kids Don’t Need More Sugar

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that 40% of sugar consumed by kids comes from sugary drinks (i.e. Soda and Juices).
American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that juice consumption be limited to one 8oz serving per day
Type 2 diabetes, formerly only found in adults over 40, is on the rise in children. Center for Disease Control Pediatrics cited obesity as the leading cause.
Artificial sweeteners are controversial and not parent preferred.
The average fruit drink contains 120 calories and 27 grams of sugar per serving.

Wild Waters contains 50-60% less sugar than typical juice drinks and sodas.

3. Nutrients are Important

Vitamins and minerals help your body grow, develop and stay healthy.
USDA recommends consumption of Nutrient Dense Beverages defined as products that are high in nutrition with relativity fewer calories.
Calcium is the most important mineral when it comes to building strong and healthy bones.
