This is especially relevant if you are focusing on your physical fitness and are particularly concerned with staying hydrated post-workout. Some of the sugary drinks the infographic covers include [energy drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guru-organic-energy-zero-sugar), sports recovery drinks, vitamin water, iced fruit drinks, orange juice and [mixed berry smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/froosh). In addition to just saying how much sugar is in each of these beverages, it also explains why people consume them to begin with and an example of a food that has the equivalent amount of sugar.
