Overcome your fear of fat
For years, you’ve heard that fat is bad. It causes heart disease. It makes you fat. Too much will give you a stroke! But your brain is 60 percent fat. Fat helps you feel fuller and eat less over time, and it’s crucial to building cells and protecting your organs. In fact, nutrition science is beginning to turn on its head the idea that all fat is bad for you, with high-profile nutritionists like Walter Willett, Dr.P.H., professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health and a professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School, working to debunk the idea that low-fat diets are healthier. Many of the recommendations that we all follow regarding fat, he’s found, are based on rather weak science that has been repeatedly questioned over the decades.

The Best Fitness Foods
Fueling your body the right way gets you better workout results.
Eat
Exercising on an empty stomach makes you more likely to lose muscle, and without any extra gas in the tank, your exercise intensity and overall calorie burn will take a hit. An hour or two before working out, snack on 100 to 200 calories of complex carbs and protein (like a cup of nonfat yogurt or a piece of fruit and a cheese stick).

Drink
Sipping green tea—hot or iced—helps your muscles recover faster after a workout so you can get back into the gym more quickly. According to a study in Nutrition Research, exercisers who drank green tea extract, which contains therapeutic antioxidants, had less muscle damage after workouts compared with those who drank only water.

Snack
Red apples, berries, and grapes contain the antioxidant quercetin, which can boost your endurance and oxygen capacity, making workouts feel more doable, according to a study from the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health. Researchers believe quercetin also helps the fatigue that can cause you to skip workouts.
