Back to School: Keep Your Children Hydrated from the Ringing of the First to the Last Bell

Bck to school WOW CUP mini

The new school year is here again! And back-to-school shopping is in full swing. When you are out shopping for all school supplies, don’t forget to buy a new WOW CUP too! Because keeping your children hydrated is crucial to help them stay focused and ready to learn and develop new skills!

Are you asking how? Our body is composed of 65% water and the brain itself is about 75% water and the water helps the brain cells to communicate with each other.

It also clears out toxins and carries nutrients to keep it healthy. So, there is no surprise that dehydration slows down our reaction time, and also impact short-term memory. Even mild dehydration, that we can imagine as a body water loss of 1-2% can impact the cognitive abilities and therefore the ability to take new information or concentrate during school classes or exams. The dehydration is more common than you might think, according to the American Health Association. They surveyed over 4000 kids in school age (from 9–19) and found out than more than a half of them weren’t adequately hydrated which may affect their capacity of learning.

It is not only the brain that benefits from drinking enough water. It also regulates body temperature, aids healthy digestion and blood circulation, and keeps joints, bones, and teeth healthy. It also supports the immune system which is very important when your children are surrounded by other kids. So, along with the milk, water is the best and healthiest option while in or out of school.

If you are not quite sure if your children drink enough, here are some signs that they might be dehydrated:

  • A dry or sticky mouth
  • Low energy, sleepiness, or irritability
  • Lack of focus

WOW CUP Mini: Great for Preschool and Middle School

We get it. It is not always easy to ensure your kids will drink enough water, especially during the days spent at school. With WOW CUP Mini in six colorful designs, water won’t seem boring! Each time they drink from 360 spill-free sippy cups, the experience will be way more enjoyable! With ample 12 oz of liquid volume, WOW CUP Mini fits perfectly into every lunch box and school backpack. And it is super easy to re-fill throughout the day.

The included travel lid ensures the 360 drinking valve will be all clean and the spill free function will protect new backpacks from messy spills. 

WOW GEAR Sports Bottles: Must have for high school, college, or afternoon sports classes

For those who are parents of high schooler or college-age kids, keep in mind that staying hydrated can be even more challenging for them. Heavy school workload, the stress of a new social life and the fact that they are away from home for the first time can affect their healthy habits including staying hydrated. Set them up for success with reusable WOW GEAR Water bottles. With 20 oz, they are perfect for classes or workout sessions at the gym. And they are spill-free and there is no need to press buttons or flip a lid. Just Grab & Drink!
