VCU WINS ON THE ROAD, IT WAS A LONG DAY AT WORK YESTERDAY

The VCU Rams improved to 3-1 on the season with 63-52 road win at Hampton last night, the Rams didn't play as well as they did against Oklahoma but they played well enough to get the win. The Virginia basketball team will be back in action tonight against Stanford in a tournament in Cancun, Mexico. The game against the Cardinal will be a tough test for the Cavaliers. Well I have to say it was a very long day at work yesterday, I didn't get home until after 5pm and it rained the entire day and I was on a truck so I got pretty wet. I am probably going to have to go to Virginia Beach today so it could be another pretty long day. I am still pretty sore form playing basketball Sunday night and then last night I bit my tongue eating supper so my PAIN index is still elevated. MICKEY

Fats
The benefits of a low fat diet for fighting weight gain and heart disease have been highly touted. However, many don't realize that limiting your fat intake too severely of healthy fats can result in serious mood changes, irritability and aggression. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish have been found to help stabilize mood swings and decrease stress. "Good fats" burn clean in the bloodstream compared to "bad fats" which clog the arteries and narrow the blood vessels. Good fats include olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocadoes and fish. Exchange that fried chicken for a grilled salmon. Replace a mayonnaise dressing with an olive oil and vinegar splash.

Hydrate. Approximately 65 percent water, our bodies require substantial replenishment of H2O to function properly. Proper hydration flushes toxins, ensures proper digestive and body functions, curbs hunger and helps fight aging. Opt to drink water (you can add lemon, cucumber or a splash of juice for flavor), unsweetened green tea or club soda.
