How to Eat Healthy Over the Holidays

Stay Healthy Over the Holiday Season

The holiday season tends to be more busy and stressful than any other period of the year. Family reunions, office parties, holiday shopping and winter break for the children all pile up leaving you with little time to relax. If you're trying to eat healthy, the snacks at work combined with the little time to eat properly can really start to take a toll. Great Harvest in Spokane has some tips to help you avoid the unhealthy snacks and stay healthy over the holiday season.

Make Healthy Choices

You will most likely find yourself attending various holiday get togethers and potlucks that involve food. If you're trying to stick to a healthy diet, you can definitely achieve this. If you're going to a potluck, take a healthy dish. By doing so, you can be sure there will be at least one healthy dish you can indulge in. For other get togethers involving food, remember to eat slowly and only until you're satisfied. Try not to eat until you're too full in order to prevent overeating.

Avoid Skipping Meals

Even though you're in a rush, make time to properly eat meals. Before heading out for some holiday shopping, sit down and have a complete meal. Doing this will you avoid eating unhealthy meals on the go. Eat a healthy snack before heading to a party in order to avoid overeating out of hunger.

Carry Healthy Snacks

Even if you make time to eat healthy meals before heading out, you might still get hungry while out of your house. To avoid eating fast food and other unhealthy choices, carry healthy snacks in your car or in your purse. This is especially helpful if you're spending portions of your day out with your children. Not only will you be eating healthy, your children will too.
