No Fizz for Kids

If your child loves sweet drinks and avoids water, it’s time to take action. A study published in US magazine Pediatrics suggests that a fizzy drink a day could equate to about 6 kilos a year in weight gain.”Swap sugary drinks for pure fruit juice, says Annie Seeley, registered public health nutritionist.Dilute the juice until its just water. Avoid juice drinks as these can contain as little as 5% fruit juice. And remember, you decide what goes in the fridge, so if you don’t buy fizzy drinks they can’t have them.
