Healthy Eating During the Holidays

The Holidays don’t have to throw your health and wellness off track. Incorporating small changes, can make a big difference. Learn about simple strategies for healthier holidays from the American Heart Association.

Take your time: Don’t rush through meals. Enjoy mealtime with family and friends by pausing between bites and savoring your food.

Practice gratitude: It can help lower blood pressure, improve your immune system and spur you to eat better and exercise more. Write down five things you’re grateful for and share them with your family and friends. Gratitude is the gift that keeps on giving.

Get creative with swaps: Cooking at home is a great way to take control of your diet and tweak favorite seasonal dishes.

If you need inspiration, check out these healthy recipes. Start a new tradition of healthier holidays with your family and friends.
