1. Children lose water and electrolytes more easily than adults

• Children’s bodies are about 70–75% water, higher than adults. That means:
• When a child has a fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or plays hard outdoors, water and electrolytes are lost quickly.
• Their temperature-regulation system is not fully developed, so they sweat more in hot weather.
• Kids often get absorbed in play and forget to drink, making deficits worse.
• 👉 Losing just 2–3% of body weight in water can make a child tired, dizzy, and irritable.

2. Electrolyte deficiency — it’s more than just thirst

• Many parents think plain water is enough. In reality:
• Sodium (Na⁺): balances body fluids and helps prevent hyponatremia when sweating heavily.
• Potassium (K⁺): keeps the heart and muscles working properly. Low potassium → fatigue and cramps.
• Magnesium (Mg²⁺): important for the nervous system and sleep. Low magnesium → irritability and poor sleep.
• 👉 In short, water alone isn’t enough. Children need electrolytes for brain, heart, muscles, and immune function.

3. Silent consequences of electrolyte deficiency

• Poor learning & concentration: the brain needs adequate water and electrolytes for nerve signaling. Deficiency → forgetfulness and poor focus.
• Fatigue & irritability: children with low water/electrolytes get cranky and less active.
• Weakened immunity: electrolyte imbalance reduces the body’s defenses, making kids more prone to infection.
• Serious risk when ill: with diarrhea, fever, or vomiting — failing to replace electrolytes promptly can lead to severe dehydration and be life-threatening.

4. Safe solutions for kids — proper electrolyte replenishment

• Instead of sugary sodas or high-sugar sports drinks (unsuitable for children), parents should choose kid-specific electrolyte products:
• Kid-friendly, natural flavors.
• Formulas with balanced sodium, potassium, and magnesium for children.
• Not overly sweet and caffeine-free.
• 💧 That’s why ATIV Electrolyte for Kids was developed — a tasty, safe solution to rehydrate, restore electrolytes, boost immunity, and keep energy all day.

5. Message for parents

• “Water alone is not enough to protect a child’s health. Electrolytes are the key to endurance, cognitive function, and a strong immune system.
• Start a habit of scientific electrolyte replenishment for your child — for a healthy, energetic childhood.”
