Drinking Habit Of Sodas For Water

The purpose of the experiment was to help us better understand how water, Coke and Gatorade effected the renal system. The goal was to test and see if my hypothesis were correct regarding the urine specific gravity, urine flow rate, and presents of reagents using the Labstix. My hypothesis for this experiment was that the Gatorade drinkers will have the highest urine flow rate and that non-drinkers would have the highest urine specific gravity. Water is hypo-osmotic and coke contains a high amount of sugar making it hyperosmotic relative to plasma. Gatorade consists of large amounts of electrolytes making it iso-osmatic relative to the plasma. Based on these characteristics of the consumed substances, we are able to study the hormonal effects on the average UFR and USG.

“Soda pop has become a firmly entrenched staple of the American diet and as American as

My goal for this project was to strictly reduce the number of soft drinks I was in-taking. I chose this as my goal because I considered myself to drink too many sodas, even my family members pointed it out. My target behavior was to reduce the consumption of soft drinks each week. I was going to change my diet and I needed the support of my friends and family to successfully reach my goal. I told my friends and family about the upcoming project and asked for their help. My friends and family were very supportive of me during the period of this project. Every time we went out to eat they always reminded me that I set a goal to stop drinking soft drinks. Even if I was just at home and opened the fridge, my siblings or parents would jump right on me about drinking sodas. The biggest suggestion they gave me was that every time I craved soda, to choose an alternative. Through my journey in accomplishing this goal, I expected many changes. The way I felt about my body changed, I experienced less gas, burping, and lost weight.

Recently I have been motivated by my friend Adrian’s life changing decision of putting behind his desire of just letting go and being determined to live a healthy life. I have always had an active life and enjoy playing sports but figured that it wouldn’t be enough and I am currently on a diet which has cut down on my calorie and sugar level intake. Nowadays I take the time to read nutrition labels and measure portion sizes which make a great difference. Every now and then I have a break and consume foods that are not healthy but I now I am doing better now. It is a constant struggle to not get tempted into a delicious looking pizza or some perfectly rounded donuts but I stay motivated to achieve my

This behavior change project has become a huge part of my everyday life. I lost sight of how important staying in shape affects my overall mental state along with my physical well-being. Having a life that consists of so many activities such as going to school, working, and maintaining a full and happy relationship with the people I care about is hard to balance with just making time for myself. That is why keeping this three day a week workout regime over the past five weeks has been so important; it made me realize that I can make time to focus on just working on myself, and in turn, improve all other aspects of my life. Realizing of course that there are many people in this world that have real life health problems that they seek professional help for. These changes in their lives require a system or a theory that must be applied to develop a strategic an organized way to regulate or change their behavior.

I want to continue drinking more water every day rather than drinking a lot of sodas, because I felt a positive change in my body within the first two weeks of tracking my behavior change. Being in a better mood and having more energy has allowed me to accomplish, without getting tired, more in one day than I have since I was a little child. Before this behavior change project, I always told myself that I needed to drink more water because I know that it is better for me than sodas, or other drinks with a lot of sugar in them. Although I did not completely reach my long-term goal of drinking eight glasses per day, I still feel very accomplished and proud of myself. I was able to get up to drinking seven glasses of water per day rather than only drinking water when I ran out of sodas in the refrigerator. Without completing and reaching all of my short-term goals, I most likely would not have gotten so close to my long-term goal of drinking eight glasses of water every

A new year, a fresh start, an opportunity to overhaul the habits we fall into. Year after year, folks reevaluate their lives and desire a change in how they about their day. Some decide to change their diets and eat healthier, while others decide make it to gym more frequently. Whatever the person’s attempted alteration may be, the common theme that everyone experiences a process of change. Along with this attempt at change, individuals making the change will often be challenged to return back to old habits. Although persistence shines for some, others will fall back into old habits once they experience the trade-off to abandoning a habit. Simply denoted as behavioral change, this process by which an individual

My measureable goal was to eat three servings of fruit a day by April 22, 2017. I picked this goal because of the benefits of increasing fruit intake. In order to make sure I adhere to my target goal I will eat three different fruits in a day so I won’t get sick of a certain fruit. I also choose to eat half a cup of blueberries a day to help stimulate new brain cells (dailymail UK, 2017). At the beginning I didn 't like blueberries at all, but now have a obsession with them. I also set up an alarm on my phone to remind me to eat fruit in the morning, at lunch, and at

Nutrition and Fitness- Fitness wasn't included in the presentation but it should have been. Eating right isn't enough on its own for optimal health and wellness. Exercise does wonders for the body and the mind. It relieves built up stress that you may not have even been aware of, releases chemicals in your brain to help with relaxation, as well as a number of other health benefits. Through introspection, I know that my most productive weeks go hand in hand with the number of times that I worked out those weeks. I have slowly over the past few months worked out less and less to the point now it has been about two weeks since my last run. It has taken its toll. Along those lines over the past couple of weeks, I have developed a taste for Mountain Dew, I normally drink a gallon of water a day, and I have had more soda in the past week than almost the rest of the year combined. While I may not physically see the results of my current soda binge, I can feel it mentally and physically. My plan here is simple, finish the last Mt. Dew that I have and drink some water as well as reinstate my three to four workouts a week and start losing some weight in the

Soda is not only unhealthy because it is a sugary drink, but it is also the most acidic thing that people drink on a daily basis. Knowing this the question, which sodas will release the most carbon dioxide when mixed with hydrochloric acid arose. In addition, knowing background information about what it is that is being tested is very important. When it is said that soda is acidic that may catch people off guard, but how acidic soda is goes across as an even bigger surprise. The acidity of something is measured using pH. The pH scale is a way to measure the amount of hydrogen available to form a chemical bond. Containing a pH of 7 means that it is neutral in the acidity it contains. Soda has a pH of about 2.5 which is about the same pH as vinegar. To put this into perspective, battery acid has a pH of 1 and water has a pH of 7. Soda is closer in pH to battery acid rather than water in the amount of acid it contains. An interesting fact found was, “A pH below 4 or above 10 will kill most fish and very few animals can tolerate waters with a pH below 3 or above 11” (“8 Reasons Why People Drink Soda & 16 Reasons To Give Up Soda Drinking”). Hydrochloric acid can have range of the pH. This is determined on the concentration it is at. Muriatic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid. It can be found in the home in different cleaners. This acid is very poisonous (“Hydrochloric Acid”). Since the hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach, it is able

In a Gallup poll of annual consumption habits amongst 1009 American adults, the exclusion of soda from diet topped the list. The poll was conducted based on the types of foods people try to avoid or include in their daily diet. Some of the other types of foods polled included sugar, fat, salt, fruits, gluten-free foods, vegetables and lean meat.

Although some people think that drinking soda is a good habit but it isn’t they are bad for you they are like drugs as Coach Bray says they are just killing you in the inside.

The first day of my attempt to increase my water intake to two bottles a day was very difficult for me because I don’t typically drink very much. I ended up drinking a little more than my normal amount of one bottle a day, but I never reached the two bottle mark. Because I didn’t’ reach this goal, I did not allow myself to watch television in order to avoid reinforcing a behavior other than the one I have

Coca-cola was previously being sued by individuals along with Pepsi and Dr. Pepper. These companies are being sued for their “diet” soda products. People are claiming that drinking these diet products aren’t aiding their diets and that the companies are unlawfully claiming that they should be a healthy option. Attorneys in this case say that the “diet” beverage is one of the biggest consumer scams ever. However according to the FDA, labeling that the soda is diet is different than making a health claim that it would help with your diet. The companies didn’t make a health claim because they knew they would have to prove that the drink actually is a low calorie drink that meets the standards of the FDA. The companies label it a “diet” drink
