For the 2nd time this year Brett Favre lead his Minnesota Vikings past the Green Bay Packers this time in Green Bay. Favre threw 4 touchdown passes in the game carving up the Green Bay Packer defense. I still have to wonder why the Packer front office was so eager to get rid of the best QB in Packer history in such a hurry. The New York Yankees scored 3 runs in the top of the 9th inning last night to beat the Phillies 7-4, with the win the Yankees now lead the series 3-1 and out just 1 win away from winning the World Series. Jamie McMurray won yesterdays race at Talladega holding off Kasey Kahne for the win, points leader Jimmie Johnson finished 6th and now leads Mark Martin by 184 points. It looks like Johnson will win another Sprint Cup Championship again this year. I hope everybody has a good week. MICKEY
Energy Zapper #7: Living in Artificial Light
Our natural body rhythms are keyed to the rising and setting of the sun, says Carol Ash, DO, medical director of Sleep for Life, a sleep-disorder clinic in Somerset, New Jersey. When you open your eyes in the morning and get your first glimpse of sunlight, your brain receives a signal that helps it set its sleep-wake clock for the day. Similarly, seeing sunlight during the day gives your brain a boost. So if you are awake before the sun, and/or don't see much sun all day, your body is experiencing something a lot like jet lag.
Energy Fix
Instead of hitting the coffee cart when you're flagging, hit the sidewalk--the combination of physical exercise and a shot of sunlight will energize you. You don't need much: "A 10- to 20-minute walk in the sunshine will give you a boost," says Dr. Ash.
Skipping breakfast: How many times do you find yourself dashing out the door to start your day, only to discover that you forgot to eat? Listen, your body has just "fasted" overnight, and in order to fuel yourself for the day (and lower stress hormones), you must eat a balanced meal that includes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Otherwise, your body will turn on itself for fuel, and it isn't fat but muscle that it's going to target ... which will cascade into a very nasty sequence of health consequences that will make you fat, old, and tired before your time.
