In contrast, diets rich in high-quality carbohydrates such as fruit, vegetables, and legumes have beneficial effects, researchers noted publishing their findings in the&nbsp;New England Journal of Medicine.

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming could do to your tresses.

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming&nbsp;could do to your tresses.&nbsp;
According to WebMD, frequently highlighting and colouring your hair damages it internally, leading to dryness and lack of lustre.&nbsp;
Perming or chemically curling or straightening your hair breaks the inner bonds and reforms them in a new manner, thus weakening your hair.
Brushing your hair multiple times in a day seems like an easy way of smoothening&nbsp;them. But research shows that overbrushing&nbsp;causes too much friction, leading to split ends.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Who doesn't want a good hair day? But often the kind of tresses we have depend on a number of factors like genes, hormones, age and climate of the area you live in

Who doesn't want a good hair day? But often&nbsp;the kind of tresses we have depend on a number of factors like genes, hormones, age and climate of the area you live in, which you can't control. But&nbsp;one thing you can control is your diet, which&nbsp;also&nbsp; has a massive impact on the texture of your hair.
We take you through a host of foods that you must avoid if you suffer from hair damage and excessive hair fall.&nbsp;
1. Alcohol impacts the nutritional balance of the hair and leads to dead hair follicles.Too much alcohol destroys synthesis of keratin, the protein found in our hair.&nbsp; 2. Refined grains and starchy foods like white bread, pasta, croissants, cakes break down into sugar in the body, which in turn causes hair thinning and ultimately hair fall.&nbsp; 3. Fish is loaded with mercury, which could lead to sudden hair loss. Climate change over the past few years has&nbsp;lead&nbsp;to an increase in the content of methyl-mercury in fish, which could cause hair damage.&nbsp; 4. Full of artificial sweeteners, diet sodas are a strict no if you're looking to get healthy, lustrous&nbsp;hair without any hair fall.&nbsp; 5. Junk food hampers hair growth as well and could weaken hair follicles, leading to excessive hair fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Experts however don't recommend completely stopping the consumption of these foods and beverages but limiting their intake could help maintain the quality of your hair in the long run.

If you're planning to hit the gym, it is very important to monitor what you eat before your workout. The body needs fuel in order to perform to its full capacity to achieve your&nbsp;desired body goals.
We often hear of people working out on an empty stomach, hoping they would be able get rid of accumulated fat and in turn lose weight. However, experts have warned of the negative consequences associated with this. You may feel hungry in the middle of your exercise, leading to exhaustion and a lower intensity workout than what you intended.
On the other hand, you don't want your stomach to be too full, this may again interfere with the workout and make you feel sluggish, hindering you from giving in your best. So experts recommend choosing a middle ground.
While it depends on the kind of workout you do, a pre workout meal must comprise of a mix carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Carbs will give you that energy to glide through the exercise regimen while protein will build and repair muscles. But while choosing carbs, go in for complex carbohydrates that give energy gradually over a longer period of time. While choosing fats, go in for healthy, unsaturated ones.
Here's a list of the foods you can eat, based on the macro-nutrients
If you're looking for complex carbs, go in for things like lentils, beans, oats, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and broccoli. Whole grain bread or whole grain pasta also makes for a good choice. If you're looking for simple carbs, fruits make the cut. Bananas are are a great choice, they're a good source of potassium and antioxidants too.
You have to be cautious when it comes to choosing the right kind of fats. The body takes time to digest fats when compared to carbohydrates and may not be able to break them down before a workout. Some good fats can be found in nuts, seeds and avocados.
Protein-rich foods that make a good pre-workout snack include eggs, lean fish like tuna and salmon, chicken, nuts, peanut butter, protein rich yoghurt and soy. If building muscle is your goal, make sure you include adequate protein in your diet.
Overall, a good balanced meal with all the required nutrients is a must! The closer you are to the time of the workout, the meals must be easy to digest and simpler in a bid to avoid tummy troubles. Also remember, hydration is key. Staying hydrated has been linked to better performance so consume a good amount of water. The American College of Sports Medicine suggests drinking 0.5 to 0.6 litres of water at least 4 hours before working out. Some experts even recommend drinking beverages rich in sodium as it may help the body retain fluids.
So if you're looking to ace your workout, watch what you eat!

Hormones play a key role in regulating our mood, appetite, weight and much more. In today&rsquo;s fast-paced lifestyle, hormonal imbalances have become a common occurrence among many. In general, the endocrine glands produce the exact amount of necessary hormones required for the body&rsquo;s functioning but age and lifestyle changes can sometimes create an imbalance. Making some nutrition-driven changes to your diet can help bring this balance back to normal:&nbsp;
Add a wholesome amount of protein to every meal. This can help trigger the production of key hormones. Ideally, you should consume 20&ndash;30 grams of protein per meal. Get your protein from fish, chicken, tofu or nuts. &nbsp;
Foods that are rich in fibre like oranges, beets, carrots and guava could help regulate insulin levels in the body.&nbsp;
Try to include a variety of natural fats in your diet and avoiding unhealthy trans fats to reduce insulin resistance. You can include foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish and seafood, plant oils, eggs and milk to your regular diet. &nbsp;
It is also equally important to control the amount of sugar-heavy foods, drinks and refined carbs that you consume on a daily basis as they can often increase insulin sensitivity or decrease insulin levels. &nbsp;
