Keeping kids healthy

Childhood obesity is a problem we're aware of at ASDA. By encouraging your kids to take part in ASDA Kwik Cricket, you're already helping them stay fit and active

Getting them to eat a healthy, balanced diet will help too. Here are a few tips to make that easier:

  •      • Having breakfast means less snacking later on. Wholegrain cereals, fruit with yoghurt or honey, or a smoothie are delicious options
  •      • A packed lunch filled with fresh fruit (or dried fruit, which is sweeter) is a good idea. Why not pack one before a match?
  •      • Turn the weekly shop into a game, and see if your kids can work out what's best for a week of healthy meals

Thanks to healthy food ranges like "Great Stuff", you can eat well without breaking the bank.To find out more visit health.asda.com

Here are a few tips on hydration for you and your kids from Buxton Mineral Water, who once again are providing water for all county finals to keep your kids hydrated and refreshed:

 

  • Keeping well hydrated helps maintain sport skills performance
  • A young boy (9-13 years old) should drink as much as 1.8L of liquid a day, including water.
  • When you practice a physical activity, you should increase your water intake. Drink water before, during and after sport!
  • Water is central to the regulation of body temperature through perspiration and sweating, and for transportation of vital nutrients to all cells of the body. Drink water for a healthy lifestyle
  • Keep water handy for your child and encourage them to drink throughout the day
  • GOOD TO REMEMBER:  Because children need to concentrate for long periods during the day, it is important for them to avoid dehydration by drinking water regularly.. Remember children usually don't notice that they are dehydrated!
