Water Does Wonders!
The second theme of the HKCC was Water Does Wonders and ran July 2016 – March 2017.
This theme promotes the benefits of drinking water. It’s about helping kids make healthy choices to quench their thirst. When kids have easy access to safe, free drinking water, we know that:
- It helps increase how much water they drink overall.
- It keeps them hydrated – the body functions poorly when it lacks water.
- If they are drinking water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages, it reduces their intake of calories or energy from sugar.
