Five Healthy Eating Tips for the Holidays





Here are 5 healthy eating tips to keep in mind during the holiday season:

  1. Plan ahead: Before attending a holiday party, eat a healthy snack to avoid overeating. If you’re hosting, consider offering healthier options such as fruit or vegetable platters.

  2. Portion control: Enjoy your favorite holiday foods in moderation. Use a smaller plate to help control portion sizes and avoid going back for seconds.

  3. Stay hydrated: Drinking water can help you feel full and prevent overeating. Try to drink at least 8 cups of water per day.

  4. Get moving: Exercise can help reduce stress and burn off extra calories. Consider taking a walk after a holiday meal or participating in a fun winter activity like ice skating.

  5. Be mindful: Pay attention to your body’s hunger and fullness cues. Eat slowly and savor each bite. Remember that the holidays are about spending time with loved ones, not just food.
