Research has shown that working out first thing in the morning will rev up your metabolism for the rest of the day. If you’re short on time in the mornings, opt for a quick, but high-intensity workout of the basics, such as jumping jacks, push-ups, and squats.

Some very interesting findings in this study. Over the course of two years participants who were part of the fasting group showed a weight loss of 10% on average as well as improved perceptions of quality of life, energy, sleep quality and libido.
Is fasting right for you? That depends and it is an idea that you and your health care professional should discuss as what works for some may not be right for you.
Your habits just before going to bed could be sabotaging your sleep.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends avoiding the following: over-the-counter medications that contain pseudoephedrine, which can be found in common cold medicines; texting, watching TV, or spending time on the computer shortly before bed; indulging in a greasy, fattening, salty bedtime snack, which can be stimulating and trigger nightmares; and drinking caffeine beyond the morning, as it can stay in your system for as long as twelve hours.
