Live Well. Eat Better.

\We have all heard the news stories and seen the PSAs telling us to read the label and I’m not going to preach about trans-fats or caloric intake—we are in no shape to throw stones there. But we do encourage you to look at the labels and see if what you are about to eat passes one simple test: Do you know what the ingredients on the list are? If you don’t know what partially-hydrogenated crap-weasel extract is, don’t eat it. Simple as that. See our sidebar on Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce for a real eye-opener.

Two Wheel Drive

In March every year, the staff of your favorite Sioux Falls men’s magazine heads east and north to the Minneapolis Auto Show – among the top 20 largest in the country. It is an impressive beast, and the April edition that follows is always a big hit. During a recent editorial meeting, it was suggested that we give the same treatment to another form of transportation – the motorbike.

Strike Zone

Who says you can’t go home again? Sioux Falls Canaries hitting coach Benny Castillo was born in the Dominican Republic, grew up in New York City, and has played baseball in just about every city in North America. But this spring, the personable Castillo returns to his adopted home of Sioux Falls to help the Canaries build a winner. Castillo spent parts of four seasons in the mid-‘90s as a hard-hitting outfielder for the Birds. Always a fan favorite, Castillo grew to love the city.

Affirmation

We’ve waited for this. For the rumors and the shiny black fields. We’ve heard from somebody that Friday morning the flags will fly, from somebody else, not for another week. The out-of-bounds cornfields, clumpy and wet, covered now by only the warming air of spring, the only remaining white in the acres of black mud, the sliced tee-offs from last fall. We drive by the places that we’ve been deprived of all winter long, hoping to see the places we fear the most alive again.

Live Better

One of my favorite dead French guys, Voltaire, once said, “Nothing would be more tiresome than eating if God had not made it a pleasure as well as a necessity.” Ain’t it the truth? Food is right up there with breathing on the necessity scale, but you don’t see any TV networks called the Breathing […]

“The Outdoor Type”

I myself grew up camping and I still occasionally feel the need to venture out from under the halo of cement and glass and lights. Anymore, it’s portrayed as some exotic getaway from the bustle of city life. Just don’t mention those bedbugs and lack of amenities. Fortunately, around these parts it doesn’t bustle so hard that you have to drive too far to get away from it all.

Hudson’s Guide to the BEST OF THE LAST 25 YEARS

Obviously, I had to come up with my own version of the music list, and I must admit that personally it makes sense. 1983 was a landmark music year for me. Although I had been a huge fan of the original punk craze of the late ‘70s, by the early ‘80s I was back to music that was much more mainstream. Outside of the Clash and a couple of other acts, most of my listening time was spent with the likes of Springsteen, Dylan, Petty, and the Stones.

Don’t Let Foot Pain Slow Your Summer Down
The South Dakota summer is as hot as it is short. Therefore, we try to fit in as much activity as possible before another long subzero winter creeps in. Unfortunately, sometimes that summer fun is cut short well before the snow flies. Simple foot pain could be the […]

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

When you eat industrial food, realize that some liberties are being taken with your meal, and the sauces that come with it. Take for instance the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce, found at most fast food joints. The ingredient list should list two items: honey and mustard.

Superhero Foods - Yogurt

Yogurt is more than just a delicious snack; it has great health benefits and is one of the most versatile foods available. Eating yogurt is a great way to stay healthy. It’s a rich source of protein, containing around 10 to 14 grams of protein per 8 ounces, which amounts to 15-20% of the daily protein requirement for most men. It’s an excellent source of calcium; an 8-ounce serving of most yogurts provides 30 percent of the adult RDA for calcium, and only has about 150 calories per cup.

A SMALLER, HEALTHIER YOU

Don’t overdo fruit: two a day maximum, and only the low-sugar, high-fiber variety. Apples, pears, plums and berries all are good choices. Bananas are not. For now, fruit should be eaten alone or with something light like nuts or a little cheese. Lose the fruit juice.
