There is a reason they are called the supplements, as they are used for supplementing to the daily food routine. There are so many kinds of vitamins and minerals that our body needs for a healthy living whether you are a fitness freak, athlete, or the one living a normal life. As all the foods that we consume aren’t enough to complete the needs of our body. Some of them can be completed by taking the supplements. Hence it a good idea for everyone to
take supplements after consulting your dietitian, irrespective of the ages and the work they do.
2. Proper time of working out

It is most common myths out there, whether you work out in the evening or the morning it all depends on the final goal of yours for which you are working towards. If you
want to lose weight then it is better to work in the morning without having anything before the workout. As working in the evening may not work for you as the body will utilize energy from all the food that you consumed throughout the day. Similarly, the evening workouts may have some other results, if you control the foods you have before and after a workout.

The workout is backed up by the most of the food that we consumed throughout the day. It is most important to have a healthy and protein based diet for the good results whether you are into fat loss or building muscle mass. The diet should contain all types of fresh consumables (vegetables or meat). Also
