It's easy to use, interesting and fun!
When we exercise, it is important to replace fluids in order to prevent dehydration. When we sweat, we release water from our cells and lose vital electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium; and during hard exercise, energy stores in the form of carbohydrates.
That is why Fulton County School nutrition offers a wide range of water & nutritious beverages for maintaining the fluids or the fuels, plus some of the vitamins and electrolytes lost by the body during activity.
The Fulton County School Nutrition Program (SNP) has over
700 food service professionals supporting 94 schools during the 2010-2011 school year. Our SNP serves approximately
