Healthy Holiday Foods and Fun: Remember to make smart choices as you celebrate the season. Mashed potatoes/gravy, pie and other favorites can be a part of your celebration but to feel your best, you know you need to eat in moderation and stay active. It’s important to think ahead and make a plan for yourself. Eating in moderation can help make small choices and turn them into big changes. When you feel the urge to splurge, try drinking a glass of water or take a piece of fruit or you might even try taking a walk around the block. Also, slow down and really taste and enjoy your food. While food is a big part of the holidays don’t make it the only thing. Remember to add physical activity and try to get the whole family involved. Sometime being with people who make you feel happy is a wonderful way to help get through this time without overeating.
