VicHealth announces $500,000 in funding to help sports venues ditch sugary drinks
Sweat. Slurp some water. Get back on the field or court.
It used to be something most sporty kids did without thinking. But with sugar-laden soft drinks and 'sports' drinks now dominating the fridges of many sporting venues across the state, VicHealth is working to steer Victorians, particularly children, back to basics.
On Tuesday, the health promotion foundation announced a $500,000 Water In Sport initiative, targeting areas with high rates of sugary drink consumption, obesity and poor dental health.
