Children do not stop, it can be cold or hot, they have an energy such that it seems they cannot be still. Many even do some sport (in addition to not stopping in the park, at home or in the street), so you have to give them liquid so that they go hydrating from time to time.
The most logical thing to date was to give them water and something to eat, so that with the water they received that lost liquid and with what they ate they would recover salts, vitamins and take some glucose, which provides energy. When you can not eat, they are given a little water and "driving."
Well, researchers at McMaster University in Canada say that Children who play sports should rehydrate with milk Because being a source of protein, carbohydrates and calcium is better than isotonic drinks or water.
Brian Timmons, director of Child Health and Exercise Medicine Program and principal investigator of the study, says the following in this regard:
Children begin to dehydrate during exercise and it is important that they have enough fluids, especially before starting the second half of a game. Milk is better than other isotonic drinks and water, because it is a source of protein, carbohydrates, calcium and electrolytes.
As he explains, Milk helps replace the sodium lost by sweat and helps the body conserve fluids in the body. In addition, by containing proteins, the body can make use of them to help build muscles, something that does not happen with other drinks.
I don't know what you think about it, but milk seems to me to be a little heavy digestion, like to give it to children who are going to run and play sports.
I've always been a child of getting dizzy in the car, so I always tried to eat something light before traveling. When I drank milk, my stomach ache was not taken away by anyone and the discomfort was greater than when I did not drink.
For some strange reason, perhaps because milk is white, or perhaps because breast milk is digested wonderfully, people often think that milk is a soft food that protects our stomach. However, I say, it is not the panacea in this regard and I think it could be risky to cause heavy digestion to children who have to make an important effort (if as he says they will play the second part).
It would be different to give it at the end of the match or effort. Perhaps there it is true that milk provides more than water or isotonic drinks when hydrating.
