The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and FOOD. While it's easy to overindulge during this time of year, there are some simple tips you can follow to make sure you're still eating healthy.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY HOLIDAY EATING

 First, try to fill up on healthy foods before heading to a holiday party or dinner. 

This way, you'll be less likely to indulge in unhealthy snacks or overeat. 

Second, make sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables on your holiday plate. 

Not only are they healthy, but they'll also help you feel fuller longer.

 Finally, watch your portion sizes.

 It's easy to overeat when there are so many delicious dishes around, but by being mindful of your portions, you can enjoy the holidays without putting your health at risk. 

 While it's easy to overindulge, there are a few ways you can enjoy the holiday season without packing on the pounds.

 Here are some tips for healthy holiday eating:

 1. Make sure you're eating regular meals leading up to the holidays. This will help to prevent overeating when the big meals come around.

 

2. Fill up on healthy foods before you indulge in holiday treats. This way you'll be less likely to overeat unhealthy foods.

 

3. Avoid eating mindlessly. Be aware of what you're eating and savor each bite. This will help you to appreciate your food more and eat less overall.

 

4. Don't feel like you have to finish everything on your plate. It's okay to leave food behind, especially if you're feeling full.

 

5. Get moving! Exercise is a great way to offset some of the extra calories you'll be consuming during the holidays.

 

6. Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages. This will help to keep you hydrated and prevent sugar cravings.

 

7. Make healthy swaps when possible. For example, choose lower-fat versions of holiday favorites or bake with healthier ingredients.

 

8. Allow yourself some indulgences. Balance is key, and it's okay to enjoy your favorite holiday foods in moderation.
