This guest blog contribution is from Brandon Serna with Ticket Express, a local Omaha ticketing source for concerts, events and Husker football tickets.
Even if you only go to a few sporting events per year, they can really wreak havoc on your healthy lifestyle. People often assume that unhealthy fare is the only option, but that?s not always the case. Besides, there are ways to avoid the temptation of gooey nachos and foot-long hot dogs. If you do indulge, you can do so without going overboard. In the case of children?s sporting events, bringing a cooler that?s stocked with water, fruits and veggies shouldn?t be a problem. Professional sporting events are a whole other story. Pick up a few terrific tips for eating well at sporting events below.
Avoid Falling Off the Healthy-Living Wagon at Sporting Events with These Tips?
Eat a Healthy Meal before You Leave?- When hunger strikes, resisting fatty, greasy, calorie-laden foods is a lot more difficult. Therefore, you should never arrive at a sporting event with an empty stomach. Sit down and enjoy a healthy lunch or dinner before heading out the door. You?ll thank yourself later.
Ditch the Carbs in Favor of Protein-Rich Foods?- If you?d like to treat yourself to a hamburger or hot dog during the game, you can mitigate the damage by either ditching the bun entirely or by only eating half a bun.
Go Easy on the Condiments?- Do you really need an extra serving of cheese with those nachos? By using condiments as sparingly as possible, you?ll be able to consume a lot fewer calories during the game. Besides, condiments are messy. If you?d like to walk out of the game without everyone knowing what you had to eat, try to steer clear of them as much as you can.
Split a Snack with Someone Else?- Portion sizes are notoriously huge at sporting events. Why not share something with another person? The only issue here is that you both have to agree on one thing. However, you?ll both benefit by sharing one massive snack. The odds of either of you still being hungry after tackling that enormous plate of nachos are extremely slim.
Bring the Right People?- If you?re determined not to ruin your diet during the game, be careful about who you bring along. By attending the game with health-conscious people, you?ll be less likely to be surrounded by bad choices. For instance, if you snag the perfect seats for the next Huskers game, think long and hard about who to invite. Do you really want that healthy friend or relative to see you chowing down on a foot-long hot dog that?s laden with all the fixings?
Avoid Extra-Large Souvenir Cups?- Sure, souvenir cups are a lot of fun. How many do you really need though? Furthermore, they are only offered in truly gargantuan sizes. Whether it?s filled with beer or soda, a single souvenir cup is sure to contain several hundred calories? worth of liquid. If it?s sitting right in front of you, you?re more likely to consume it too.
Limit Your Alcohol Intake?- It?s smart to limit the amount of alcohol you consume during the sporting event for many reasons. When you consider how many calories are in the average cup of beer, being more conservative about how much you drink should be a lot easier. Plan on having no more than two drinks during the game.
Try a Restaurant at the Venue?- Many modern stadiums and arenas have actual sit-down restaurants. By arriving early, you can sit down and enjoy a much healthier meal right before the game starts. At a regular restaurant, you should be able to take your pick from many reasonably healthy options. When the game starts, you?ll be nice and full, so you won?t be tempted to indulge in unhealthy snacks.
By making the right choices and planning ahead, you can leave the stadium without having to undo the button of your pants. You can also breathe easy in the knowledge that you haven?t totally ruined your healthy diet, which feels pretty good too.

We know that childcare providers are nice people; they cut the crust off of toast and teach kids how to wait in line. Did you know that they help shape behaviors of children that last for a lifetime? Studies show that early childhood is one of the best times to teach children healthy eating and physical activity habits that will influence how they live into adulthood. One group of childcare owners and teachers are challenging themselves to create a place where children have a chance to practice healthy habits. Live Well Omaha Kids (LWOK) is helping these centers look at how they promote good nutrition and physical activity for their children, and how they can maximize the healthy options available to children.
LWOK does this by offering a free program called the NAP SACC (Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care) Learning Collaborative, giving child care providers incentives and time away from the center to plan for and make lasting, healthy changes.
Here are some examples of the terrific work going on at participating centers:
- Alegent Health Child Development Centers are creating a change to require structured physical activity every day for every age group.
- Aunt Rhonda?s Daycare Center is starting weekly lessons to educate kids and staff about healthy eating.
- Buzy Kidz Learning Center is introducing new foods by having kids sample and select different cultural dishes for their weekly menus.
If you are a parent or child care provider interested in helping a childcare center make healthy changes that give kids the healthiest start, contact Kelly Bouxsein at kelly.bouxsein@gmail.com or 410-925-3665. The next series of workshops starts in September.

Don?t you feel like summer is the best time to pick up books you?ve been thinking about but haven?t had time to read? Summer reading is often thought of easy, light reading, but there?s no reason not to incorporate some useful ideas into the pleasure of your summer reading!
Here are two great reads to add to your summer reading list, courtesy of your friends at Live Well Omaha:
Food Rules: An Eater?s Manual by Michael Pollan
This little book has been floating around since 2009 but it still feels fresh and relevant. It?s only 140 pages but most of them are simply headlines and drawings, which makes this a book you can read with many interruptions at the pool or during an afternoon in your hammock. Pollan?s straightforward and charming ?instructions? will stay with you. Be sure to pass it on!
Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne
David Byrne (yes, that David Byrne) has been riding a bike as his principal means of transportation in New York City for nearly 30 years. After discovering folding bikes, he expanded his ability to gain insight and understanding of the places he visits while on tour by taking his bike with him.
Bicycle Diaries is an account of what he observes and the people he meets as he pedals through cities around the globe. His topics range from world music, urban planning, fashion and architecture to cultural dislocation and the roots of our creative process. It?s a great summer selection because it makes you want to hop on your bike and explore your own corner of the world.
Do you have any inspiring summer reading recommendations we should add to our Live Well Omaha summer reading list? We?d love to hear about it.

Being active is a big part of a healthy lifestyle, and forming the habit early in life helps us stay that way ? that?s why families who want to be healthy often find it best to do something fun and energetic together.? But in the middle of winter, it can be hard to find the space and opportunity to get moving.
Last Saturday was a rare and fun exception.? As I drove into the UNO campus for the Get Your Family Movin? event, I was amazed to see sidewalks filled with parents and children heading to the recreation center.?? But the real surprise came when I entered the building and saw a hallway and gym abuzz with children and adults having fun!? As I strolled through the display tables I learned about active opportunities for children and families and experienced a variety of healthy food choices.? The air was filled with laughter and shouts of enthusiasm, and a peek inside the gym clearly showed why: children of all sizes, from toddlers to teens, were busy being active while parents acted as coaches and fans.? The obstacle course proved to be a fun challenge for the shortest members of the crowd as they zigzagged through running courses and jumped over hurdles.
As I crossed the room, I heard the delightful squeals of kids bouncing up, down and around inside the inflatable bounce house.? Parents and children played with hula hoops, threw footballs, learned a dance routine, or even spun plates with the professional jugglers.? The former Husker stars that came to sign autographs were quickly drawn into play with their youngest fans.? The only thing interrupting the fun was the occasional voice on the loud speaker announcing winning raffle ticket numbers for the day?s prizes.? And if a child ever got hungry during their romp, they could head to one of the display tables to have a healthy snack!
What I saw on Saturday was a community working together to make physical activity fun.? This was a place and time where parents had the opportunity to see fun ways to be healthy and share the joy of being active with their children.? In a community where more than a quarter of our children are obese and only a third of us find a way to be physically active on a regular basis, opportunities like these help us all build active lives and change those statistics.? I hope everyone who attended learned at least one easy way to be more active, make wholesome food choices, and live a healthy, fun-filled life!

Making positive adjustments isn?t always easy, especially when you?re trying to do it by yourself. That?s why Partners for a Healthy City was formed. Together we?ve made a special commitment to help create a healthier city by making healthy eating and active living options available in everyday environments. This community-wide effort aims to increase opportunities for better health by putting the focus on prevention?and to help all of us make the healthy choice, at any time and in any place.
More than 350 organizations across the city have signed on to participate in this initiative by becoming a Partner for a Healthy City. Together, Omaha-based businesses, nonprofits, schools, faith-based and community organizations are enacting policies to support active lifestyles and healthy food choices. Their individual efforts, like installing bike racks, holding walking-instead-of-sitting meetings and offering healthy onsite meal options, are adding up to make a big difference.
We?re counting on you to support our initiatives and to spread the word about healthy living. Learn more at www.partnersforahealthycommunity.org.

A new on-line web portal was unveiled during the 2011 Live Well Omaha Health Summit providing important data about the health of our community. This new resource combines the most current health, education, environment, economy, public safety, social environment, government & policies, and transportation with the latest news and best practices.
Health Matters in Douglas County, Nebraska can be found at www.douglascohealth.org and is sponsored by Live Well Omaha, Douglas County Health Department and three hospital systems, Alegent Health, Methodist and The Nebraska Medical Center.
The site provides:
- A dashboard with more than 100 health and quality of life indicators that shows trends, and breaks down some of the data by county region gender, age and other factors.
- More than 1,800 promising practices, which are programs proven to work around the nation, including contact information to make it easy to potentially discuss the practices further before adapting.
- National news articles related to important topics updated three times a week
- A link to other local reports
- Up-to-date air quality data and several other features.
?One of the cool tools is a walking score,? said, Dr. Adi Pour, Douglas County Health Director. ?By putting in your home address it provides you a walking score between 0 ? 100, based on if you require a car or if you live in ?walker?s paradise? where daily errands can be done without a car.?? This has importance for community planners, Dr. Pour said, since research tells us that the average resident of a walkable neighborhood weighs 6 ? 10 pounds less than one who lives in a sprawling neighborhood.
The website is updated by the Healthy Communities Institute which was started by the University of California at Berkley. Local data and reports will be added to the website by Live Well Omaha and the Douglas County Health Department.
?At the end of the day, I am urging residents to use this portal as a platform from which to gain knowledge and simultaneously encourage action,? says Dr. Pour.? ?Informed residents are their own best health advocates and the best voices for a healthy community and more importantly, an engaged community becomes part of the solution to improve public health.?
