15．Not many parents realize that by encouraging their children to drink plenty of fresh water，they're helping them build healthier，stronger bodies．
Water is the ideal drink to prevent thirst and ensure hydration（水合作用）．Our bodies need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs．Water also transports oxygen to our cells，removes waste，and protects joints and organs．Poor hydration can affect a child's concentration levels，memory and learning ability．
"While most parents know that everyone should be drinking 6～8 glasses of water each day，they often find it difficult to get their children to drink water，"says Megan Pentz-Kluyts，a leading registered nutrition coach．However，there are healthy ways of making water tastier．
Keep a big bottle of water in the fridge that has been flavored with fresh fruits and herbs，such as chopped lemons，strawberries，apples，or oranges，as these flavor the water and up the intake of nutrients．
Mix fruit juices with water to increase water consumption．However，it's better to eat fruit whole as it provides nutrients such as fiber，vitamins，and minerals，which may not always be found in the same quantity once the fruit has been made into a juice．
Freeze bottles of water overnight so that the water is still cool later in the day when the sun is beating down．Use fun containers with your children's favorite characters on them to match the fruit or herb that's been used to flavor it for easy reference when grabbing from the freezer for school．
By encouraging your children to drink water from an early age，you'll help them form a habit that will be easy to follow through for the rest of their lives．You can set the best example by always reaching for water when you're thirsty or by making sure that there's always cool water readily available，whether in the fridge at home or packed into the car for after-school runs or family outings．
