Question

Many kids don't drink enough water daily according to a new study. The study's lead author Erica Kenney at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.

Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4 000 children aged 6 to19 between the years of 2009 and 2012. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey a study on the health of children in the United States conducted each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention..

While looking through the survey results she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of' that group boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.

“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past " Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth."

The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water such as celery melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that fluids（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
