Time is of the essence. Sometimes, between the demands of training and the busyness of life, the convenience of a drive-through reigns supreme. Other times, opportunities arise to enjoy a meal out with family or friends. But that doesn’t mean making healthy choices to adequately fuel your athletic performance is out the window. The following is a list of recommendations for working through this seemingly dangerous situation:
Mountain biking, trail riding, gravel grinding, road biking, family and dairy cows. Those things might not sound like they have anything in common, but for Nathan Moroney, operations manager at Del Rio Dairy in Friona, Texas, all those things are a way of life.
When people think of retirement they often think of a slower-paced life, but for former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware, retirement doesn’t mean slowing down.

Motherhood is tough; some days laundry becomes your physical activity and leftover crackers your lunch. Moms, I know it’s hard to balance work and family, and I know it’s a struggle to find “me time” in our attempt to “do it all.” It’s time to move your own well-being up the priority list and find some time to take care of you.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the Dallas Cowboys are upping their competitive edge through the power of nutritious snacks.
As a mom, my days are packed! My little guy keeps me on my toes, along with work, the gym, swim lessons, play dates and of course making sure everyone eats dinner! I know that I’m not the only working mom who feels like every moment of her day is scheduled! I had the chance to catch up with Janelle Hodovic, a mom and registered dietitian, who makes sure her family stays active year-round!
You’ve heard it said, “milk does a body good,” but did you know this stands true for chocolate milk, too? A glass of chocolate milk is not only beneficial for healthy bones and teeth – thanks to its calcium, vitamin D, protein and phosphorus – but is also great for our muscles, rivaling post-exercise recovery beverages in nutrients and taste.

After 112 years, golf is again an Olympic sport. Before that, it was part of the program only in Paris in 1900 and St Louis in 1904. It is not only a historic time for golf worldwide, but also for the Eagle Valley golf team who are now refueling with milk!
The Eagle Valley golf team consists of 29 teammates - the largest team in Eagle Valley school history. They call themselves “Team Chocolate Milk.”
