More than half of children and adolescents in the United States are not adequately hydrated, mostly because they're just not drinking enough water. Adequate fluid intake is critical for survival. Research in young adults shows that even mild dehydration can lead to significant impairment in cognitive function. Dehydration is associated with confusion, irritability, and lethargy. It can also produce decrements in cognitive performance. Inadequate hydration can have significant effects on children's physical and mental health. There's a lot of research out there to suggest that even mild levels of dehydration are enough to impact cognitive functioning and mood in kids. While severe and long-term dehydration can lead to serious health problems, effects of mild dehydration can include headaches, dry mouth, dizziness, irritability, increased heart rate, and poorer physical performance. I teach Health/Wellness and Physical Education and by providing a filtered water station in my school I would be able to provide my students the opportunity to drink water directly from the fountain or to fill up their personal water bottles to have water available throughout the day. This will also save water bottles and will be good for the environment.
