Stay healthy over the
holidays
It can be challenging to make healthy choices over the holiday season given that so many celebrations and gatherings revolve around food. Here are five tips to help you eat moderately and stay healthy over the holidays.

Load your plate with veggies. Pile vegetables, fruits and green salads onto your plate. These foods are low in calories, high in fiber and will keep you satiated. Don’t worry, you don’t have to forgo the turkey or any of the side dishes; just be mindful of your portion sizes.
Eat slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register fullness once you start eating. Therefore, to avoid overindulging, try to wait five or 10 minutes before refilling your plate. By doing so, you may realize you’re already full. Watch what you drink. Both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks can add additional calories, sodium and sugar to your holiday meal. Consequently, try having a glass of water or seltzer in between the eggnog, cocktails and hot chocolate.
