As children age, they begin to consume more and more
unhealthy beverages including pop and artificial fruit juices instead of water,
milk and natural fruit juices. Taste tends
to persuade the decision-making process of youth, and the concept of drinking
healthy beverages is somewhat forgotten during the shift from adolescence to
adulthood. However, what you drink
affects your health, and neglecting to choose healthy beverages that serve as replenishment
and provide necessary nutrients for the body results in negative
consequences.
