Health Tip: Plan a Healthy Thanksgiving Menu
By LadyLively on November 26, 2014
While Thanksgiving usually is a time of indulgence, there are plenty of nutritious traditional foods.
The Harvard Medical School suggests this healthier Thanksgiving fare:
- Stick to turkey, as it’s lean and nutrient-rich. But avoid the skin, which is higher in saturated fat.
- Make your own cranberry dish to reap the benefits of the antioxidant-rich fruit without as much sugar.
- Make a side or dessert from nutrient-packed sweet potatoes.
- Make a pumpkin custard. Pumpkin is a low-fat, low-calorie, nutrient-rich dessert, assuming you don’t add fats or sugar.
- Include pecans in your favorite dishes. They’re a heart-healthy source of unsaturated fat.
