Say goodbye to those post workout aches and pains by having a glass of cherry juice.  A study by the University of Vermont showed that drunk twice a day for three days left the drinkers with significantly less muscle pain and can help with recovery.  Cherrys have high levels of antioxidants, which help undo the free radicle damage caused by the workout. 

Amino acids found in eggs can help with those post party hangovers.  A study published in the Journal of Inflammation Research has found that they counteract the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde, which is the chemical produced as the body metabolises alcohol. It is this nasty little chemical that causes the headaches and nausea the morning after the night before.  So next time you think its a good idea to hit the Sambuca make sure there are plenty of eggs in the fridge.

Drinking water first thing in the morning can aid you to burn body fat.  Research in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showed that if you drink 500ml of water after a nights sleep it will boost your metabolism by 24% for 90 minutes.

Getting the right amount of sleep is vital to achieving your goals when it comes to training.  Research has shown that getting 8 hrs a night will help repair muscles after training as growth hormone is released while you are in a deep sleep.  Also a study by Stanford University has shown that getting 10 hours of sleep a night can improve your sprint times by 8 %.  The study also showed that it will also increase power and reacrion times.
