Drinks Dispensers
Too many children today do not drink enough water and have an unhealthy diet, whilst leading an inactive lifestyle.
It is indisputable that the health of the nation's children has deteriorated in recent years. It is estimated that 15% of children in the UK are obese.
This is a terrifying fact considering that the majority of these children are obese or overweight because of their lifestyle NOT health disorders.
There are a variety of factors that contribute to this rise in obesity including:
- Poor diet & irregular eating patterns
- High intake of processed foods high in fat, sugar & salt
- Over consumption of high sugar carbonated drinks & lack of water
- Little or no exercise.
The school system is one of the key areas that is failing to safeguard children's health. As highlighted by Jamie Oliver, school meals are under-funded and unhealthy, sports facilities and timetables are resulting in little exercise and water not widely available.
Drinking Water Systems
It comes as no surprise that children do not drink enough at school when you examine the existing drinks dispensers. Many schools don't have water readily available to pupils or have outdated water systems that are situated in the most uninviting place, the school toilets. This means that they are more likely to turn to sugary vending machine drinks than to school drinks dispensers.
School rules also inhibit children's access to water. Many schools have a policy of not allowing drinks in class, which means that children are only able to drink at break times or snatch a drink between lessons.
