The average American football fan consumes approximately 2,400 to 3,500+ calories during Super Bowl Sunday festivities, with some estimates putting a typical game-day party meal or snacking session around 3,000–3,500 calories (and higher when including full-day eating and drinks). Super Bowl Sunday ranks as the second-largest U.S. food consumption day after Thanksgiving, driven largely by high-fat snacks like pizza, wings, chips, dips, and alcohol.
I've seen varying reports—some older or more extreme ones claim up to 6,000–11,000 calories for the entire day—but more recent and consistent figures from surveys and analyses hover in the 2,400–3,500 range for game-time grazing, with totals climbing higher when factoring in meals, beverages, and all-day indulgence. That's still a massive amount!
But here's the key: You're not average. Create a smart, enjoyable plan so you can celebrate, cheer on your team, and still feel great the next day—without the regret or sluggishness.
That calorie total includes everything—not just food, but drinks too. Skip the soda (pop), fancy coffees, juices, and alcohol (or limit them heavily), and opt for water, sparkling water with lemon/lime, herbal tea, or black coffee. You're already winning big by dodging those empty calories.
If you're heading to (or hosting) a party, offer to bring something—and choose a dish you want to eat that aligns with your health goals. It guarantees a reliable, satisfying option amid the temptation.
Go Hawks!

Did you know? Hydration is just as crucial in winter—often more so—than in summer.
We associate thirst with heat and sweat, but winter sneaks up on us: dry indoor heating, cold dry air (boosting water loss via breathing), and a dulled thirst signal can cause dehydration without you noticing.
Proper hydration fuels nutrient delivery, waste removal, immune support, temperature regulation, and steady energy. Winter ups the ante with extra respiratory loss and illnesses like colds/flu. Don't wait for thirst—sip water, warm teas, and hydrating foods daily!
Why winter demands consistent hydration:

Drier air — Heating dries skin and lungs; cold outdoor air forces your body to humidify every breath, losing moisture unnoticed.
Reduced thirst — Cold can suppress thirst by up to 40%, so you drink less even when needed.
Increased loss — Kidneys produce more urine in cold (cold-induced diuresis), plus extra breathing losses—worse when bundled up or active.
Illness factor — Colds/flu ramp up mucus, fever, and dehydration risk.
Core functions — Water keeps everything running smoothly; easy to overlook when chilly.

Practical winter hydration tips:

Don't rely on thirst — Drink regularly all day.
Choose warm drinks — Herbal tea, decaf, or lemon-warm water feels cozy.
Eat your water — Oranges, berries, cucumbers, celery, soups add fluids.
Keep it handy — Carry an insulated bottle; set sip reminders.
Aim for a goal — Target ~91–92 oz (11.5 cups) for women and ~125 oz (15.5 cups) total fluids daily from all sources (drinks + food), adjusting for activity/illness.

Small, steady sips make a big difference—your skin, energy, and immunity will shine all season!

Donna was a postmenopausal woman who presented with chronic left shoulder mobility issues. Several months earlier, her shoulder had begun feeling tight, and over time, she had progressively lost range of motion. She could barely lift her arm more than a few inches from her body and struggled with everyday tasks: she couldn't brush her hair, hold a cup comfortably, shave her armpit, or bear weight on the affected side. Sleep was disrupted because she couldn't lie on that shoulder. Her pain was severe, rated 10/10, and she had tried multiple treatments, including anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and massage, without lasting relief. She had come to accept that this might be her new normal.

Then she began a targeted course of laser therapy. The protocol involved sessions three times per week for just three weeks.
The results were transformative:
• After the very first treatment, she felt noticeable relief.
• By her second session, mobility was already improving.
• By the third treatment, she could shave her armpit and easily lift a milk carton from the refrigerator, tasks that had been impossible for months.
• By the ninth and final session, she reached up to place the star on top of the Christmas tree, a joyful milestone symbolizing her regained freedom.

Donna's chronic pain vanished, her full range of motion returned, and she was able to resume all her activities of daily living without restrictions. Nearly four years later, she continues to enjoy complete shoulder mobility, no pain, and an active, fulfilling life.

Research supports laser therapy as a promising, non-invasive option for frozen shoulder. Studies show laser therapy can significantly reduce pain and improve function in the short and long term.

This isn't just a temporary fix. Donna's case highlights how laser therapy can accelerate recovery far beyond the typical 1–3-year natural timeline for frozen shoulder, offering lasting relief for many.

If shoulder stiffness, pain, or limited motion is holding you back, laser therapy could be the game-changer you've been waiting for.

Before we dive into Donna's remarkable story and her full recovery, let's first understand exactly what frozen shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis) is.

This presentation is classic for frozen shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis), a painful and debilitating condition in which the shoulder joint capsule thickens and tightens, severely restricting movement. It often develops gradually, sometimes following minor injury or surgery, but frequently without an obvious cause. The condition is typically self-limiting and may resolve over 1–3 years with conservative management, though recovery can be slow and frustrating.
What happens? The normally loose and flexible shoulder capsule becomes inflamed, then scarred and contracted. This "freezes" the ball-and-socket joint, limiting the ability to lift, rotate, or reach with the arm.
Who Gets It: Most common in women aged 40–70.
Stages
1. Freezing (Painful phase): Pain intensifies, with gradual loss of motion (weeks to months).
2. Frozen (Stiff phase): Pain may ease somewhat, but profound stiffness dominates, severely limiting daily activities (months).
3. Thawing (Recovery phase): Motion slowly returns over many months to years.
Standard Treatments
• Medications: NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) for pain and inflammation; corticosteroid injections.
• Physical therapy: Gentle stretching and exercises to restore range of motion.
• Advanced options: If conservative approaches fail, manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release may be considered.
Outlook Frozen shoulder is self-limiting in most cases—it eventually improves—but full recovery can take 1–3 years, and some patients experience lingering mild limitations.
Tomorrow, we're excited to share Donna’s inspiring story, her remarkable recovery, and the role that laser therapy played in it.
