Take yourself out to dinner. At the ball game! According to the website Med Page Today, if you're careful, you can enjoy a day at the ball park and a few stadium treats - and still come out ahead on the health front. But you'll have to skip the peanuts and crackerjacks and go for the sunflower seeds and hot dogs.
 
According to research, sunflower seeds are a great source of heart-healthy enzymes called A.C.E. inhibitors. These chemicals actually allow your blood vessels to relax, so they're nature's answer to high blood pressure.

And what should you do when the guy comes through the stands shouting, "Red hots! Get your red hots here"? Go ahead and order one - with extra sauerkraut and onions. Sauerkraut is packed with cancer-fighting compounds, and onions keep your bones healthy by cutting down on the chemicals that cause osteoporosis.

So a night at the ballpark doesn't have to blow your diet - and rooting for the home team may do you some good, too! When you're rooting for the home team, it can give you a huge emotional and physical lift that can last for weeks. Why? Because it makes you feel part of a community and helps you bond socially with others   both of which reduce your blood pressure and raise the levels of your feel-good hormones. Go team!
