Whether you’re preparing to host a party,
packing for a trip, or planning a quiet night in, there is no question that the
holidays are busy. With all the
adjustments to your typical routine, it can be challenging to remember your
health goals. Luckily, we have some tips
that will guarantee you a healthy holiday season.
1.
Make time for exercise. Have a set time each day when your family
knows you’ll be working out. Maybe they’ll even want to join in!
2.
Keep the cookies in the
cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind!
3.
Put veggies on the buffet
table. Fresh vegetables are a filling,
healthy snack.
4.
Don’t skip meals. It’s a lot easier to overeat at Thanksgiving
dinner if you haven’t eaten lunch!
5.
Drink mostly water or sparkling
water. You’ll stay hydrated without
getting too many calories from alcohol or sugary drinks.
6.
Use smaller dishes. It’s harder to overeat if you can’t fit too
much on your plate.
7.
Try some of everything! Just remember to choose small portions, with
vegetables making up about half your plate.
8.
Eat slowly, savoring each
delicious bite.
9.
Don’t forget the after-dinner
walk! This can be a great way to get
active with your family after a big dinner.
Keep in mind Thanksgiving is more than just
the food. It’s about being
thankful. Life is precious; celebrate
every little aspect and have a JOYOUS, DELICIOUS Thanksgiving day.
