23. Coconut Water (in excess)

Coconut water is marketed as a natural hydrator, and in moderation, it can be a great post-workout drink. But it’s not a miracle elixir. Some flavored varieties contain added sugars, and even plain versions can spike your blood sugar if consumed in large amounts. Because it lacks protein and fiber, drinking it on an empty stomach might leave you hungry and tired. Use it wisely, and pair it with a snack that includes protein or fat for better balance.
