Sugary fizzy drinks often contain free sugars, meaning sugars that are added during production or found naturally in honey, syrups, and fruit juices. These drinks are calorie-dense and provide little nutritional value.

For children, regular consumption is particularly concerning, as this could impact their growth and development. It also increases the risk of tooth decay and might play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

"But my kids won't drink plain water!"

We hear you. Here are a few strategies that could help:
🍓 Fruit-infused water: Add berries, cucumber, mint, or citrus slices.
✨ Fizzy water: same bubbly “fizzing’ sensation but healthier.
🥤Make it fun: Special cups, colourful straws, ice cubes with fruit inside.
🎯 Lead by example: Kids copy what they see; let them catch you choosing water.
⏰ Gradual transition: Mix juice with water, reducing juice ratio weekly
🏆 Celebrate wins: Congratulate them for eating healthy. It is a real booster!

⛽️ Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only premium fuel - Harvard Health, 2022.

That "fuel" comes from the foods you eat — and what's in that fuel makes all the difference. Put simply, what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain and, ultimately, your mood and ability to think straight.

Give us a reaction if you will make a genuine effort to encourage a young person to eat more real and natural food this festive season.

We are counting on you. Have a wonderful week!

🎯 Our mission is clear. Our vision is bold. But we cannot do it alone.

We need you: parents wondering how to navigate their children’s picky eating habits, Educators witnessing the impact of nutrition on learning, Healthcare professionals seeing the health consequences of ultra-processed foods, Researchers advancing the science and volunteers passionate about driving the change.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Let's be honest: the journey from fast food fries and sugary fizzy drinks to natural, home-cooked meals isn't a straight line. It's messy, it's gradual, and some days it feels like you are not making any progress at all.

But real transformation does not happen overnight. It's about being consistent, making choices that matter when you can, and celebrating the small steps that make a big difference.

The best part? Your children are watching. They're learning. They're changing.
And so are you. Well done!

What small win are you celebrating this week? Do share in the comments.
Your story might inspire another family!

CFK is a charity project dedicated to inspiring children and families to make healthier food choices, to improve their health and wellbeing. We're looking for talented and passionate volunteers to support our new programmes.

Most of our volunteer roles are remote, offering flexibility to get involved from wherever you are. We also have some in-person opportunities available in the Bognor Regis area for those who prefer to be hands-on locally.
