Hi!
Concerning coffee:
Coffee dehydrates the human body, so it is actually not very healthy (I know occhi won't receive this well...), and not recommended. Except of course you are an athlet body builder one day before your competition - then drain the cup to the dregs...
Concerning water:
Mineral water is one of the healthiest nourishments. Mixed with some flavour and vitamins (some call it apple juice spritzer), I'd recommend it straight away - 2 two 3 liters per day, best not less (helps your kidneys). Except of course - see coffee.
Concering workout:
Don't train the same muscle sections consecutively. Either mix it a bit (say Monday the tummy, tuesday the biceps, Wednesday the back...) or leave a day to relax in between. Also don't overdo it, 30-45 minutes is fully sufficient and easier to keep up. Take your time to warm-up properly for at least 10 minutes, and don't forget to stretch afterwards. If you don't stretch, it can take up to 20% longer until you see results/ you see up to 20% less results (whatever you're heading for). It largely depends on what you want, so I'm not going into detailed recommendations here, but rope skipping and some steady muscle build up is never a fault.
Concerning healthy nourishment:
I think our biologists already put it neatly.
And yes, of course you are allowed the occasional MacDo French fries. Just don't forget to skip 2 additional minutes with your rope the day after... ;)
Same goes for alcohol.
