Health Tip: Be Healthier for the Holidays
By LadyLively on November 14, 2016
The holiday season is filled with food, but many holiday favorites aren’t exactly healthy.
The United States Department of Agriculture suggests:
- Make your holiday recipes healthier. When baking, opt for unsweetened applesauce or bananas instead of butter.
- Include all food groups in your holiday meals, using the healthiest ingredients. Opt for whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy. Skip gravies and sauces, which may be loaded with salt and fat.
- Sip on seltzer, or water with fresh fruit slices. Cut the sugar in recipes, or opt for yogurt and fruit instead of a pie.
- Emphasize games, conversation and fun, and focus less on food. Include exercise in your festivities.
- Find healthy ways to use holiday leftovers in soups and omelets.
