It's important to stay hydrated before, during, and after an intense workout. Drink about 16 ounces of fluids about 2 hours before a marathon or a vigorous sporting event. Remember to also drink about 7 ounces of water every 15 minutes of your workout. Post workout, make sure you drink around 16–24 ounces of fluids. Along with water, make sure you also drink spinach smoothies or pomegranate juice to boost your endurance.

Many health foods available in the stores are junk foods in disguise. For example, granola, protein bars, flavored yogurt, and fruit juices may sound healthy but have insane amounts of sugar. Vegetable burgers made from soy protein usually contain the toxic chemical hexane. To find the perfect healthy food, read up on healthy and unhealthy ingredients and take a look at the label before purchasing a product.

If you consume excess added sugar, you might face an increased risk of heart disease and obesity. Some foods that contain excess sugar are cereal, dried fruit, pancakes, granola bars, fruit juices, and flavored yogurt. To reduce your sugar intake, try preparing these foods at home using less sugar. Also, read the labels before buying and go for the ones that are sugar-free or low-sugar.

Fruit juices increase blood sugar levels and lack fiber. Energy bars have excess calories and sugar. Organic produce is not necessarily healthier than conventional produce. Imported food is lower in nutritional quality than local and seasonal food. The color of eggshells doesn't indicate nutritional quality.

Beach waves can be recreated at home with DIY hair spray. Start with sea salt, a magnesium-rich ingredient that creates tousled waves by absorbing moisture.

For subtle highlights, lemon juice will provide natural bleaching properties. Combine everything in warm water and shake well before using.
