Project Energize - Sugary Drinks

Today we had Zane and Jonno from Project Energize join us.  They were teaching us about sugary drinks.  We learnt a lot of things and saw how much sugar there was in some of our favourites.

- Milk gives you calcium which is good for growing bones and teeth.
- Fruit drink has added sugar and fruit juice is from actual fruit.  Fruit juice is healthier for you.
- Water is the healthiest drink.  Our bodies are made up of lots of water we can lose water by sweating, crying, going to the toilet and breathing.  We need to keep drinking water to stay hydrated.
- Energy drinks are NOT for children.  There is a label on the back that says NOT FOR CHILDREN.

We are going to choose to drink water or milk instead of other drinks.  We can have them occasionally.
