14 Foods For Stronger Hair and Nails


When it comes to having strong and healthy hair and nails, some just hit the genetic gold mine. But if your hair is a little too dry or your nails are a little too brittle for your liking, your diet can make all the difference — which, luckily for us, includes drinking beer for shiny hair. 

The key to achieving (and maintaining) healthy locks and nails is making sure you’re getting all the proper vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat. Of course you can take supplements or eat cereal that is supplemented with the necessary ingredients you’ll need, but the best way to consume vitamins and minerals is straight from the source. Calcium from milk will do your body more good than calcium from a pill.

7 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Workout


I was recently watching a TED talk given by Dan Gilbert called “The Surprising Science of Happiness,” where Mr. Gilbert points out that too many options actually lower our level of contentment about any given thing. One of the greatest kettlebell trainers of our time, Pavel Tsatsouline, mentioned how in Russia, there are two choices for coffee, with or without milk. When a Russian then enters a Starbucks with a full menu of coffee derived beverages, overwhelmed, he leaves with nothing.

Even if you don’t have time to shower after a workout doesn’t mean you should forgo daily exercise. While sweating is a sign your body temperature is rising, sweat isn’t always necessary for an amazing workout.
