  Summer is very hot and kids need to drink enough water. However, many kids don’t, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health.

The study’s lead author, Erica Kenny, a scientist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.

Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged from 6 to 19. While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated. Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their systems.

 How much is enough?

70% of the human body is made up of water. Not drinking enough water can lead to health problems such as headaches, poor physical performance (体质), and even more serious problems. Your body needs more water when you are in hot climates, when you are physically active or when you have a fever.

The United States National Agriculture Library says kids need between 10 and 14 cups of water every day. The water can come from a mix of drinks or foods that have high amounts of water, such as melons or tomatoes. Tips for making sure you drink enough water.

 ◆Freeze some water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water all day long.

 ◆Add a slice of lemon to your water. This may improve the taste, and you might just drink more water than you usually do.
