[Blackwell:] There's a good chance you'll be having a big dinner today. So, let's look at this week's staying well. It looks at ways to control your salt and sugar cravings for better health. Here it is.
[Stephanie Mansour, Health And Fitness Expert:] Your cravings could secretly be telling you what your body needs. If you're craving salt, you could be stressed, but you also may be dehydrated. So, get a bottle of water and set the alarm on your phone for ten minutes. Drink the water during that time and then see if that salty craving subsides. If not, opt for a healthy snack such as edamame with some sea salt. If you're craving carbs or even sugar, you may be low in protein. So, take a few slow deep breaths in through the nose and out through the nose. During that time, think about when it was last that you ate protein. If it was more than three or four hours ago, you may need a protein-packed snack. After eating that, move on and see if you still want the carbs or sugar. Next, place some reverse psychology on yourself. So, if you don't like chocolate cake but if I tell you, you have eat chocolate cake, you want it because psychologically, we want what we can't have. So, give yourself permission to eat whatever you want when you want and see if that helps with cravings.
[Blackwell:] So, if you went to bed early, I did, show started at 6:00 this morning, you missed the thrilling NBA playoff game between the Jazz and the Clippers.
[Marsh:] Kristina Fitzpatrick has more on the buzzer beater in this morning's "Bleacher Report". It was close.
[Kristina Fitzpatrick, Cnn Sports:] Yes, close, day one of the NBA playoffs already some action. It's been five years since the Jazz made it into the playoffs and they're making up for lost time but, of course
[Blackwell:] We got a little audio issue there. I think we fixed it.
[Fitzpatrick:] All right,
[Blackwell:] No. All right, we got an audio issue. You know what? This is live television. Pull it out just a bit.
[Fitzpatrick:] All right, how about i, does that help out?
[Blackwell:] Can we use that?
[Fitzpatrick:] Testing one, two.
[Blackwell:] Good, let's do it.
[Fitzpatrick:] Let's roll, OK. I guess we will move on to, stick with the NBA playoffs and take a look at what was going on. A lot of action here. It's been five years since the Jazz made it and they're trying to make a run. L.A.'s Chris Paul ties it up with 13 seconds in regulation off the glass. The Jazz elected not to take a timeout. That allows Joe Johnson to take the inbound pass and with all the time in the world makes his way down the length of the court, splitting the defenders along the way, finds an opening, delivers the game winner at the buzzer. The Jazz take game one, 97-95. Now, after the game a reporter asked Clippers coach Doc Rivers about his strategy. Doc didn't take it very well. Listen to his answer.
[Reporter:] You could have held up and tried to run the clock down to the final you know, when you were down
[Doc Rivers, L.a. Clippers:] Who would do that? Like why would you ever do that?
[Reporter:] Like maybe five seconds.
[Rivers:] So if you miss, the game's over.
[Reporter:] Right. Well, no, like five seconds
[Rivers:] That makes no sense.
[Reporter:] Right, I'm just asking.
[Rivers:] No, that is like the dumbest thing I've ever heard. When you're down two
[Reporter:] Right.
[Rivers:] You try to score.
[Fitzpatrick:] Yes, tell us how you really feel, coach. Maybe not the best question there, but a heated moment. We have a lot of playoffs games going on, four to be exact. Three on our sister station TNT. And Saturday was Major League Baseball's annual Jackie Robinson Day, honoring the hall of famer for his impact on the game, breaking through the color barrier. Every member of every team in the league along with the umpires donned number 42, a tradition started back in 2009. Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and in honor of the legend, the Los Angeles Dodgers held a ceremony to unveil a new statue at Dodgers stadium. His family, along with other legendary Dodgers, were on hand for the event. Fans took home a little replica of the statue. This has been going on in baseball, Jackie Robinson Day, since 2004. And out to Fenway, sticking with baseball, just before the Red Sox set to take on the rays the ceremonial first pitch was thrown by Boston marathon bombing survivor Roseanne Sdoia, alongside fiance, Mike Materia, so happens to be the firefighter who rescued her on that fateful day. The two developed a relationship during Roseann's hospital recovery after losing her leg. And now, they're set to be married soon, guys. So, happy, good story there. And it is the 121st running of the Boston marathon tomorrow, Patriots Day in Boston.
[Blackwell:] All right. Great story there. Kristina, thanks so much.
[Marsh:] Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us this morning and thanks for having me.
[Blackwell:] Good to have you. "INSIDE POLITICS" with John King starts after a quick break.
