TURKEY
BURGER.
WE WILL SHARE THE RECIPE WITH
YOU COMING UP.
THERE IS A NEW CHOCOLATE SHOP
IN DOWNTOWN ROANOKE THAT YOU
HAVE TO TRY.
I HAVE BEEN THERE, IT IS CALLED
OPUS CHOCOLATE AND THEY WERE
KIND ENOUGH TO
SEND US A LITTLE
SAMPLE HERE.
THIS IS A FUSE SALTED CARAMELS
WHICH IS WHAT NATALIE HAS IN
HER HAND AND SOME DARK MILK
CHOCOLATE .
AS SOON AS I HEARD SALTED
CARAMEL I WAS LIKE OH, THAT
SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
AND THIS IS DARK MILK CHOCOLATE
THEY HAVE.
THE PACKAGING IS BEAUTIFUL.
THE INSIDE OF THE RESTAURANT IS
GREAT.
THERE IS AN UPSTAIRS,
DOWNSTAIRS, THERE IS NATALIE
SPILLING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
HOW GOOD IS THAT?
SO GOOD.
THEY ALSO HAVE THEIR GRAND
OPENING AND THE RIBBON-CUTTING
TODAY AT 12 PM AND THEN HAVE A
FEW OTHER EVENTS COMING UP LIKE
THIS WEEKEND THEY HAVE A
CHOCOLATE TASTING .>> WINE
PAIRING.
>> THEY DO WINE DURING
.
I'M PRETTY SURE THEY USE LOCAL
WINE AND BEER.
I WENT THERE AND GOT SOME
GELATOWITH COFFEE ON IT.
TOVAR GOT A BROWNIE
.
IT IS GOOD
>> CHECK IT OUT.
I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE THAT
CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.
THE HEADLINE READ " IF YOU
SPEND MOST OF YOUR DAY SITTING
DOWN NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS
WEIRD HEALTH RISK" IT IS CALLED
GLUTEAL AMNESIA.
ALSO KNOWN AS DEAD BUT
SYNDROME.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD, IF YOU PLAN
TO SIT DOWN FOR HOURS LIKE WE
DO AT OUR DESKS , YOU
NEED TO
GET UP AND STRETCH .
IT MINIMIZES THE EFFORT OF
BOYCOTTS BUT ALSO TO STRENGTHEN
YOUR BUTTS MUSCLE MEMORY.
WHEN YOU SIT A LOT, THE HIP
FLEXOR GETS SHORTENEAND
TIGHTER WHICH LEADS TO THE BUTT
MUSCLES NOT FIRING OR WORKING
AS OPTIMALLY AS THEY SHOULD.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> WE ARE GETTING UP.
I DON'T WANT DEAD BUSO I AM
IN THE RITZ WHAT YOU HAVE TO
STRETCH, TAKE A WALK AND ONE
PHYSICAL THERAPIST ADVISES
SETTING MULTIPLE ALARMS ON YOUR
PHONE TO REMIND YOU TO GET
UP
TAKE A BREAK .
BUT THE MAYO CLINIC POINTS OUT
THE PROPER POSTURE IS ALSO KEY.
STAND TALL
, TUCK YOUR TAILBONE
.[ LAUGHING
FLEX YOUR GLUTES AS HARD AS YOU
CAN
AND THEN RELEASE AND REPEAT
THAT 10 TIMES.
>> OKAY SO FIVE SECONDS.
GET UP AND JUST DO THIS WITH A
STRAIGHT SQUEEZE AND LET GO.
IF PEOPLE JUST TUNE IN RIGHT
NOW THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
>> WE DON'T WANT DEAD BUT AND
THAT IS WHY WE ARE
STANDING.
WE WILL STAND FOR THE REST OF
THIS CHAT BECAUSE DEAD BUT ,
NOT HERE.
NO, NO.
NOT ON DAYTIME.
>>> THIS IS INTERESTING.
SOMETHING MOST OF US PROBABLY
HAVE DONE
, BUT IT ISN'T
NECESSARILY SOMETHING MANY
PEOPLE WILL ADMIT TO DOING.
THERE IS A WOMAN IN ANN ARBOR
NAMED MADELEINE PARKER WHO IS A
WEB DEVELOPER AND LAST MONTH
SHE SENT AN EMAIL TO HER
COWORKER TELLING THEM SHE WAS
USING TWO SICK DAYS TO FOCUS ON
HER MENTAL HEALTH.
SHE WANTED TO BE UPFRONT ABOUT
THE REASON SHE WAS TAKING OFF
SO OTHERS WOULD FEEL
COMFORTABLE DOING THE SAME
THING AND HER CEO RESPONDED
HERE AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE
SAID.
HE SAID "I JUST WANT TO
PERSONALLY INCORPORATED YOU FOR
SENDING EMAILS LIKE THIS.
.
EVERY TIME YOU DO I USE IT AS A
REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
USING SICK DAYS FOR MENTAL
HEALTH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT
STANDARD PRACTICE AT ALL
ORGANIZATIONS.
YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE TO ALL OF US
AND HELP CUT TO THE STIGMA SO
WE CAN ALL BRING OUR WHOLE
SELVES TO WORK " MANY PEOPLE
ARE EXACTLY APPLAUDING THE CEO
AND THE TWEET SHE POSTED ABOUT
HIS RESPONSE HAS NOW GONE
VIRAL.
>> I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
YOU JUST NEED A DAY TO
RECOLLECT.
WE ARE JUST GOING AND GOING . I
HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH MY
GIRLFRIEND LAST NIGHT.
WE ARE NONSTOP, WE ARE RUSHING
HERE AND THERE AND WORK IS THE
SAME WAY.
WHEN DO WE EVER TAKE A TIME TO
JUST TAKE A BREAK?
>> EXACTLY.>> WE ARE NOT AND
THAT IS WHY WE ARE SEEING SO
MUCH
ANGER , I THINK.
>> IT OPENS IT UP TO NOT HAVE
THIS BAD STIGMA OF IF YOU NEED
TO JUST TAKE A DAY OFF FOR YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH.TAKE A DAY OFF
AND THEN COME BACK 100 PERCENT
.
COME BACK REFRESHED.
>> IF A COWORKER SAID I NEED A
MENTAL BREAK I WOULD GO YOU
KNOW WHAT, YOU ARE RIGHT.
TAKE IT.
I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT.
BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING
TOGETHER.
>> OH, YES.
PLEASE TAKE ITS POINT>> WRITES
OFTEN TRY TO CHOOSE A
BRIDESMAID DRESS THAT THEIR
FRIENDS OVER AGAIN.
THAT IS WHAT ONE KANSAS GIRL
DID WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED IN
1995.
SHE RECENTLY SHARED THE PHOTOS
OF FACEBOOK AND APOLOGIZED FOR
THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE ACCOUNTS.
YOU CAN'T REALLY WEAR THAT ONE
AGAIN, RIGHT?
WHEN HER FRIEND IS PROVING SHE
IS GETTING GREAT USE OUT OF HER
DRESS.
SHE GOT HER KIDS TO TAKE PHOTOS
OF HER DOING
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES
LIKE GARDENING , LAUNDRY ,
READING

PRACTICAL THE ATTIRE CAN B

BRIDESMAID OF ALL TIME.
