SALT LAKE CITY, March 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The battle
for college basketball supremacy is well underway — brackets have
been busted, tears have been shed and metric tons of junk food have
been consumed. While most are using this time of hope and
wonderment to binge-eat and sink into the couch, you can march
yourself into health and leave the madness of lethargy behind by
picking health and wellness as your national champion this
year.
If you do choose to overindulge this month, Dr. Brian Dixon, executive director of health and
science education at USANA Health Sciences, suggests you work in a
probiotic or digestive enzyme — like the ones USANA offers — to
provide some much-needed support in breaking down all the food you
consume.*
"Most sporting events have an outrageous amount of timeouts that
leave fans just staring at the screen waiting for the game to come
back on. This is a perfect opportunity for you to take advantage of
the lapse in play and work on your health," says Erin Oprea, USANA's fitness ambassador. "If you
spend every timeout doing exercises like pushups, ab planks,
sit-ups, bodyweight squats and jumping jacks, you would be amazed
at the quality of workout you can get."
On top of burning calories during the long TV timeouts, making
health-conscious decisions about your game-day eats can be
beneficial as well. But eating healthy while watching the game
doesn't have to be boring and bland — you can do mouth-watering,
spicy baked chicken breast strips instead of Buffalo wings, sweet
potato fries instead of regular French fries and garlic and herb
hummus instead of a seven-layer bean dip. Putting healthy snack
foods in your starting lineup will make you the Coach K of living
smart.
