Two local kids with a passion for leading a healthy lifestyle and a desire to educate others on the importance of nourishing one’s body the right way made a splash in Norwood with the advent of a new brand of water.

Princeton and Brazil Dowe, a pair of seven-year-old twins, have set out to make kids more aware of what they’re putting into their bodies with the launch of Water2Kids, a label that specifically targets children who may be unware of the health benefits of water.

The product was conceived after the Dowe family watched a health news segment on a local news station. “Mommy, the girl, she’s not drinking a lot of water,” Brazil recalled seeing.

Princeton saw the need to market water for kids because “a lot of kids in school drink soda or juice,” drinks that have little positive effect on a child’s body.

The Dowe twins are determined to help their peers avoid making bad choices when it comes to diet and exercise to prevent facing future health complications. Since the brand’s launch, Brazil and Princeton have campaigned for promoting a healthier lifestyle to the borough’s young people.

When asked about the other ways to stay healthy besides drinking water, Brazil’s answer was by eating vegetables and Princeton stressed the need for daily exercise.

Although the Dowes’ brand of water specifically targets kids, the benefits of drinking water apply for everyone and can have a huge impact on the overall health of one’s body and mind.

Some of the benefits of drinking water are:

• Increase in energy
• Removal of toxins
• Accelerated metabolism
• Improved skin complexion
• Maintained regularity
• Better immune system

The water has already hit grocery stores and bodegas in the borough.
