Staying Healthy During the Holidays

Thanksgiving is finally here! Break out the horn of cornucopia and a few gravy boats. Halloween is far enough in your rear view that it is now time to turn in your sexy little Bo peep costume for a sexy Pilgrim one. Thank goodness that costumes are not a must have for Thanksgiving, unfortunately the hot trend for this holiday is over eating! Over eating is a trend that is not so hot for your body. According to the Huffington Post a Thanksgiving feast can average 3,000 calories. With that many calories for just one day's worth of food you won't be able to eat for an entire week. Maybe that is a bit too long of a food break but the point is healthy eating habits shouldn't go out of the door with the holidays. A blog on Huffpost Healthy Living looks into Thanksgiving food myths instead of just how to avoid eating more bread rolls. Thanksgiving is only the first of many days of eating disasters. After you've stuffed your face with turkey and sweet potatoes, sugar cookies and an array of chocolate fudge will tempt your taste buds at the multiple Christmas parties you'll be attending. Not to mention you'll most likely be drinking a bunch of calories all the way until that last champagne toast on New Year's Eve. So I think it is very important to take heed to the healthy holiday tips that were discussed on the “Live with Kelly and Michael” show the other morning.  I found these tips easy to follow and definitely worth trying to adhere to throughout the year not just the holidays. Check out the video from the show below. Happy Holidays!!!
