Did you know if you drink one can of soda a day 7 times a week you are a third more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. Right now if you buy any sort of packaged food its 77% likely that added sugar will be contained in it. This makes added sugar very hard to avoid as packaged food can be in the form of bread, bagels, ketchup, and salad dressing. To cut down on daily sugar intake, nutritionist Elisa Zied said, “Having some naturally sweet fruit before digging into that candy bar or bag of jelly beans can help fill you up and potentially have less of that empty calorie food.” The reason why you should eat sugary fruit, instead of completely cutting out sugar, is because your body naturally craves sugar as it is so accustom to a certain amount. Eating fruit is the best way of bypassing these cravings to eat sugary food that tends to have no nutritional value.

Looking for maximum results from the work out you just put yourself through? Justin White from Greatist has analyzed multiple science journals and has come up with the optimal number of rest days required in order to have your muscles fully recuperate. The numbers lies somewhere between one and three days; his ultimate conclusion was that due to multiple factors – example age, having a one size fits all recovery time, is inappropriate.  Why is recovery so important? Well, due to the fact that physical exercise actually damages muscle fibers, there needs to be a time were your body can rebuild. This time occurs within the next three days after a workout.  Therefore train hard and recover appropriately for maximum results.
