根据 孩子的健康在美国,儿童和青少年在成长过程中平均需要更多的水. 儿科医生建议:
4 - 8岁的孩子每天喝4杯水
9 - 13岁的孩子每天喝7-6杯水
14 - 18岁的人每天喝8-11杯水
人们应该 每磅体重要喝近半盎司的水. For example, if your child weighs 100 pounds, they should be drinking about 50 ounces of water daily. 这相当于6杯8盎司多一点.
Encourage your student to have a glass of water with each meal 和 carry a water bottle with them so that they can sip throughout the day. 鼓励他们不仅喝水,还要喝其他的 补水饮料,如牛奶. 牛奶含有蛋白质和一些脂肪,可以减缓液体的排空, 使身体保持更长时间的水分. 不要喝果汁和苏打水,因为它们不太补水.
因为每个孩子的健康需求是不同的, it’s important to seek advice from your pediatrician who can give specific advice when it comes to how much water your child is drinking 和 if you should increase water intake.
