MarchMadness It Doesn't Have toBe Bad For Your Health
The Critic Corner MOVIE REVIEW ON LA LA LAND
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 OK – 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. Nothing would ruin your March Madness like an injury. If you have any pain while walking, jumping, or running call us 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. Be safe, smart, healthy and stress free this March Madness. May the best team win! and we will help you get better fast!

This review is of a movie that came out last year, but selfishly I’d like to talk about it because I think people should check it out. La La Land is a musical/drama set in a fantasy Los Angeles, California and loosely in the 90’s era. It’s an unconventional love story between Ryan Gosling‘s character (Sebastian) and Emma Stone‘s character (Mia).The two actor’s on screen chemistry is evident, but what impressed me the most was how well they pulled off the singing and dancing throughout the entire film. It reminded me of old movies I’ve watch with my grandparents starring Gene Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. While nostalgic as this moving is there’s plenty of comedy drama and masterful acting that make this movie a great date night movie even if you’re just staying in and popping some popcorn and watching it on the couch!
