MarchMadness It Doesn't Have toBe Bad For Your Health
Make the right call One of the best parts of March Madness is gathering with friends and family to cheer on your team. Unfortunately, watch parties often leave much to be desired when it comes to healthy food and drink options. Here’s how to keep your diet in-bounds during March Madness. If you’re watching the game at a bar or restaurant, we’ve got your healthy game plan covered: • Check out the menu before you go. Avoid fried foods. Instead, look for healthier grilled or steamed options. • Consider ordering a salad with dressing on the side. That way you can control how much you use. • Use fresh vegetables like celery or carrots for dips instead of chips or other snack items. • Split an entrée with a friend. Half of the meal means half of the calories. • If you’re going to drink alcohol, make sure you match every drink with a full glass of water. That will keep you hydrated and full, preventing you from overindulging.
If you’re a fan of basketball like we are, there’s no better month than March.
From game-day snack tips to managing your stress during a close game, here’s how to stay healthy amid the Madness. Break a sweat Watching basketball often means making an appointment with your favorite spot on the couch for hours on end. If that’s your plan, that’s okay — just make an effort to get some exercise before the game starts. Just 30 minutes of activity a day helps keep your heart healthy, and exercising in the morning can relieve stress and improve your mood for the rest of the day. Why not hit the hardwood yourself? Playing basketball for a half-hour can burn between 200 and 270 calories. If shooting hoops isn’t your thing, go for a brisk walk 30 minutes before tip-off. Take care not to injure yourself. Nithing would ruin your March Madness like an injury. If you have any pain while walking, jumping, or running call OBTS and we will help you get better fast!
Be safe, smart, healhty and stress free this March Madness. May the best team win!
