This project will be carried out at the Leonardo Guzmán Regional Hospital in the city of Antofagasta. In order to promote kidney health and prevent child obesity, those who enter the Hospital during the week of March 6 to 10 will be encouraged to drink water instead of other beverages to induce urination. In the city of Antofagasta there is a high rate of
childhood obesity and many children remain constipated for long periods of time,
partly due to the high intake of processed flours and sugars.
