Okay…let’s be real here. We know we’ll be tempted to have bite or two…or three of that yummy holiday bread or the sweet sugar cookies, but if you can have self-control and practice eating balanced and in moderation, you can enjoy the holidays the healthy way.
-Choose fresh fruit as a festive and sweet substitute for candy.
-Select just one or two of your favorites from the host of tempting foods.
-Find fun ways to stay active, such as dancing to your favorite holiday music.
-Be active for at least 2½ hours a week. Help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day.
If you can follow these simple pointers, your waistline and mood will thank you.
