U S E F U L T I P S Choose water to drink as much as you can. You can

add plain milk for some variety. Milk is a good source of calcium and helps strengthen bones

Try not to spend too much time on screens (iPads, phones, PS4s, Xbox, TV etc.)

Energy drinks and sports drinks are no good for kids!

Try and eat a rainbow! The more colour in your diet the better (green M&Ms don’t count!)
