Drinking coffee after a workout could be the key to building better muscles. Researchers think consuming caffeine after exercise helps muscles recover faster and can improve an athlete’s performance. A team of Australian researchers found after exercise caffeine resulted in athletes having 66 percent higher glycogen levels — the muscle’s primary fuel source during exercise.

Someone on social media found a “crash diet” from a “Vogue Body and Beauty Book” from the 1970s. It’s called “Wine and Eggs” and promises you’ll lose 5 pounds in 3 days. Breakfast: 1 egg, hard boiled. 1 glass white wine (dry, preferably Chablis). Black coffee. Lunch: 2 eggs, hard-boiled is best but poached if necessary. 2 glasses white wine. Black coffee. Dinner: 5 ounces steak, grilled with black pepper, lemon juice. Remainder of white wine (one bottle allowed per day). Black coffee.
