TIPS TO CELEBRATE A HEALTHY NOVEMBER & THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is that time of year when we celebrate the harvest

and blessings of the previous year. This is why the tradition calls for a huge family feast. You can enjoy the traditional food and not go overboard with eating while having fun times with friends and family. Set yourself up for a healthy November. (Remember, it’s not what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but what you eat between Christmas and Thanksgiving that keeps you healthy.) 1. Be Proactive: Exercise, burn those extra calories. 2. Eat 3 meals day: Skipping meals leads to overeating. 3. Pick your favorites: Don’t waste your appetite on dishes you can eat anytime. 4. Avoid second rounds: Save it for tomorrow instead. 5. Slow down: Eat slower and enjoy every bite, Nibble and Sip not Gobble and Gulp. 6. Plan your Plate: Start with your greens, then turkey, then potatoes (the 1st food you put on your plate is the biggest portion). 7. Plan for Dessert: Would you rather have a roll or pie? 8. Wellness is more than fitness - it has many different dimensions to help make you well-rounded. Just like spokes on a wheel, work to balance and keep it rolling. There are various positive aspects of wellness. Strive for a balanced life.
