Monday: The Soda Slump Vanda started his hydration experiment by drinking what he usually consumed on a casual day—soda. He packed a couple of cans for school, sipping them throughout the day. Initially, he felt bubbly and energetic, but by the afternoon, he was surprisingly sluggish, and during basketball practice, he felt like he was running in slow motion. Lesson Learned: Soda might taste good, but it doesn’t help with staying properly hydrated and can lead to an energy crash. Tuesday: Water Works Wonders Switching gears, Vanda decided to drink only water throughout the day. He filled up a large water bottle, aiming to finish it by school's end. Not only did he avoid the afternoon tiredness, but he also felt more alert and energetic during his practice sessions. His coach even commented on his improved stamina. Lesson Learned: Plain water is highly effective in maintaining energy levels and overall hydration. Wednesday: The Juice Jive Curious about other drinks, Vanda tried replacing water with fruit juice. He enjoyed the sweet taste, but by the end of the day, he felt a bit queasy and overly full, almost as if he had eaten too many sweets. His energy levels were also inconsistent, impacting his concentration during homework time. Lesson Learned: Juice can be a nice treat, but its high sugar content can affect stomach comfort and energy stability. Thursday: Sports Drink Sprint
