A great workout not only takes you closer to your fitness goal but also helps you feel mentally and physically stronger. But you must remember, that a good workout doesn't end at the gym. What you eat after a workout is as important as what you eat before it. The right kind of food will help your body recover faster, build muscle and prepare your for the next workout.
When you work out, muscles use up glycogen energy stores, even muscle proteins may get damaged, therefore a combination of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates is needed by the body.
Lets begin with hydration. If you want your body set for the next day's performance, you need to ensure you're well hydrated. Experts suggest keeping an eye on the colour of your urine to determine the level of hydration. Drinking water as per the intensity of your workout is important, because you have to replenish what you lose in the form of sweat.
Here's what your meal should include post an intensive workout. You have to choose foods which are easy to digest, to amplify absorption of nutrients.
#1 Protein Exercise often leads to the breakdown of muscle proteins, so it is extremely important to consume a good amount of protein. This helps your body get the amino acids required to repair and rebuild these lost proteins. Your meal can comprise of eggs, chicken, quinoa, cottage cheese or greek yoghurt.
# Carbohydrates Including carbs in your post workout meal will help restore the lost glycogen stores which your body uses up as fuel. You can include sweet potatoes, wholegrain pasta, rice or oats.
# Good Fats While you may have set a goal to burn fat, eating fats after your workout is also important. The key lies in not over-eating. You can include a mixture of seeds, walnuts, nut butters or fatty fish.

If you've spent months locked up at home without a haircut, spare a minute or two for this wild sheep in Australia.&nbsp;
Baarack, the sheep, has been living for several years in Victoria with no one to groom him until recently when a charity called Edgar&rsquo;s Mission Farm Sanctuary rescued him.&nbsp;
His fleece had become so matted and overgrown that he could barely see. On cutting it all off, the fleece weighed almost 35 kgs!&nbsp;
The underweight sheep was probably owned by someone at one point in time, the charity shared.&nbsp;
Baraack is indeed back from the brink!

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;

Are you looking for a way to add some life to your hair?
Turns out, your kitchen might have all the answers! Here are four natural ingredients&nbsp;from your grocery list that work wonders on dry and damaged hair:&nbsp;
Whether you call it yoghurt, dahi or curd, the simple dairy product can be mixed with a dash of coconut oil for a super-softening hair mask. Apply the mixture to damp hair after shampooing it and rinse after 20 minutes.
Next up, channel the power of super absorbent honey with some warm olive oil to lock in the moisture. You could even add a bit of lemon juice to make the concoction more powerful.&nbsp;
While the smell can be a bit off-putting, a mixture of egg yolks and olive or any vegetable oil for that matter is one of best natural moisturisers for your hair.

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!
