There's a fine line when it comes to heating and icing an injury. While some injuries are acute (a sudden sprain or strain) and others chronic (often long-term as the result of overuse), there are specific ways to go about heating and icing for maximum recovery. There are a few first aid treatments you can do for sports related injuries, but if you aren't so sure when to grab the frozen peas or plug in the heating pad, use this guide during your rehab to keep you strong and performing at your best.

Heat is best when . . .

If you are stiff, sore, or have a chronic injury — bring on the heat! A heating pad or hot compress is ideal to relieve the aches and pains of overused muscles because it increases the elasticity of joint tissues and stimulates blood flow. About 20 minutes of heat also helps to loosen tissues and relax injured areas, meaning it's very beneficial before workouts that often irritate reoccurring injuries. One rule of thumb: do not heat a new injury! When an injury first occurs, swelling and inflammation are at their peak. Heat will only make this worse, causing the blood vessels to dilate. Only add heat once the injury has started to relax, which is usually after 48 hours.

Ice is best when . . .

Ice is best for immediate injuries and as a treatment in later rehabilitation. If you were just hurt in a workout, turn to ice to reduce the swelling and decrease the pain. Icing is also good for athletes with chronic injuries after a workout because it keeps inflammation at bay, preventing any overused muscles from acting up. If you're both icing and heating an injury, always end with ice. Since ice works to reduce the swelling, following it up with heat will counteract it, increasing blood flow and possible swelling. Don't ice for longer than 20 minutes (doing so can lead to frostbite), and never ice before a workout; this will only make your muscles stiff and vulnerable to injury.

The typical nightcap has just been given a (healthy) makeover. That's right, insomniacs, it's time to trade in your sleep-disrupting cocktail for a healthier sip — cherry juice! Not given enough credit in the fruit-juice world, studies show that a glass of cherry juice can significantly help you sleep better.

Cherries contain melatonin, a natural antioxidant that helps to regulate your sleep cycle. Participants in the study saved an average of 17 minutes of wake time after going to sleep when drinking cherry juice like Lakewood Black Cherry Juice ($9.95) daily. Although this may not seem like much, between a busy schedule and late-night computer time, we'll take anything we can get. So, rather than counting sheep, sip up with a cherry on top. And if that doesn't do it, we have 25 tips that just might . . .

For tight, toned legs, jump into your lunge! Although the basic lunge is a great starting point (and exercise to master), adding a jump will have you sliding into those skinny jeans in no time. Often found in Tabata interval workouts, this lunge (also considered a jumping split lunge) is an intense move that increases the burn and tones your calves, too. Here's how you do it!

• To begin, start standing tall with your feet staggered, your left foot slightly in front of your right. Making sure you're not too stiff, keep your stance active with your knees bent in a slight but not full lunge.
• With your core engaged, push off the bottom of both feet into a jump, switching the position of your feet in mid-air, landing in a basic lunge with your right leg in front.
• Without rest, repeat this movement alternating which leg is in front. To prevent injury, make sure your back leg is bent directly underneath your body and your front leg is bent at 90 degrees at the knee and hip.
• Do three sets of 20 or modify the number specifically to your workout.

We know it's taboo to embrace the midnight munchies, but there are some foods that can help you sleep better at night. If you're having trouble hitting the hay tonight, foods like cherries and dairy can be great company to a healthy bedtime routine. What makes these foods after-hours worthy is that they have or help to produce melatonin, a hormone necessary for a healthy sleep cycle. So, although sleep aids can be a quick fix (it's OK, admit it), consider these healthy bites before you turn down the sheets tonight.

• Cherries: Finish each night with a cherry on top! Several studies have shown that cherry juice can help you sleep. Because cherries contain the magic of melatonin, participants in one study saved an average of 17 minutes of wake time after going to sleep when drinking cherry juice daily. If you're not a fan of tart cherry juice, fresh and dried cherries will have a similar effect.
• Oats: Truth is, about 20 bowls of porridge can contain enough melatonin as a supplement, but that doesn't mean a little won't help. Between the melatonin and the rise in blood sugar, which in turn triggers insulin production, having a (healthy) oatmeal cookie or muesli bar won't hurt. Wash it down with a glass of milk (we'll soon explain why), and you should be on your way to sweet dreams.
• Dairy products: Speaking of milk, dairy products contain high amounts of tryptophan that produce melatonin and calcium that helps that process take place. Have a cup of yogurt or sip on a warm glass of milk before bed to help you unwind and get a good night's sleep.
• Rice: Rice is bedtime gold because it contains both melatonin and tryptophan. Try eating a meal that includes rice like a stir-fry or casserole, but don't over-indulge too close before bed, as a heavy meal could interfere with sleep.
