« Make healthy hydration the new norm »

Does where we live affect how much we drink?

It is important to consume enough fluid1,2, but with the popularity of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), many people are not consuming enough healthy fluids.3-5 Ms. Clémentine Morin stresses this in her research, which aims to identify and characterise patterns of fluid intake in children and adolescents from six countries.6

By spotting patterns in the fluid consumption of children and adolescents, Ms. Morin and her colleagues aim to help people adopt healthier drinking habits by developing targeted interventions to combat the issue.
