Chan School of Public Health found that more than half of children and teenagers in the nation are not adequately hydrated.The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey sampled 4,134 individuals with ages ranging from 6 to 19 years. The results, gathered from 2009 to 2012, are cause for worry because insignificant hydration can have negative effects on children's physical and mental wellbeing. Many of the common signs of dehydration are dry mouth, fatigue, headache and disorientation, dizziness and an intense thirst.
