What are the effects of dehydration on children?
• The early effects of even mild dehydration are significant for health, well being, performance and learning – and in the long term carry a higher risk of a number of health problems and disease states. These include constipation, continence problems, kidney and urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and some cancers. In some scientific studies, a decrease in cancer risk was specifically associated with water, as opposed to any other fluids.
