Tips and Tricks for Healthy Eating this Holiday Season
- Eat a snack before dinner. Enjoy some fruits and vegetables before getting to your meal to avoid overeating.
- Exercise early and keep moving! Working out early ensures that you will get some time for yourself and work off some calories before loading up!
- Manage beverage consumption- holiday beverages are laden with calories- be conscious of the non-food calories you are consuming.
