This Brew's For You:
In addition to its antioxidant-like compounds, coffee also provides a dense shot of caffeine, which may also help reduce body fat and boost athletic performance by helping to free-up a valuable energy source. Coffee also increases alertness and may improve joint health and pain reduction. Make the most of it by brewing yours in the morning and before your workouts, when you need energy the most. Can’t stand muddy water? Try a bottle of tea: that way, you get your caffeine fix and antioxidant compounds without the bitterness and heavy loads of sugar and cream.

Gobble-Up The Good Stuff:
The trees have turned, the sweaters are back, the temperature’s falling, and once again, Thanksgiving’s just around the corner. But before you find yourself piling on all the entrees, better have a battle plan: you don’t want your diet to spin out of control. Give thanks for an even mix of quality protein and carbs on your plate with sweet potatoes and turkey. Sweet potatoes take longer to digest than simple sugars, so they help keep blood sugar levels steady, and also serve as an excellent source of carbs for weight gain. And next to pumpkin, they’re a super source of vitamin A (just one supplies over 100% RDA). Turkey, on the other hand, packs 25 grams of protein into a mere 3 ounces, with considerably less fat than ground beef and chicken, and zero carbs.
