Enjoy holiday eating the smart way
We can all enjoy holiday foods and festivities and still keep good health in mind. Here are some ideas to share with employees …
- Bring a healthy side dish to the office party or family gathering. Salads, vegetable trays and fruit plates will give you at least one healthy option.
- Don’t skip meals before the party. Eat lean meats and proteins during the day to stay full. You’ll be less likely to overindulge on holiday foods.
- Keep to your exercise routine.
- Limit your alcohol intake. Alcoholic drinks can be calorie dense. Besides, the more you drink, the more you are likely to eat.
- Before filling your plate at the party, look over the whole spread. You’ll make better decisions as you decide what to eat.
- Avoid seconds.
- Don’t make salty and sweet snacks your whole meal.
