  • What Happens When You Have a Drink After a Work Out

    Although it has become common to have a beer or glass of wine after a work out, is it good for you?

    According to experts it is important to stay hydrated after a work out, but drinking water is best.

    If you want a good, restful night’s sleep, then skip the night cap.

    As professor of psychology Richard Wiseman explains, having a drink before bed is fairly common and many people who suffer with insomnia rely on a glass of their favorite tipple before bed.
