Thanksgiving is just around the corner, Most likely we will eat turkey, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas and onions, rolls and butter, cranberry sauce, crudite, and of course pies. Then all the great football games will be on TV for us to watch – sitting. And then later in the evening leftovers! The whole cycle repeats itself. Do you think this is good for you? To a certain extent some of the foods are very good, Turkey is a naturally healthy food for improvement in one’s mood. But the sugar and starches are not so good. How to balance this is done with portion control and commitment to exercise. Start the morning off with a high protein breakfast. Work out before having that big holiday meal.
After the meal, take a walk. Talk with family and friends as you walk . Engage with people. Every commercial stand up and move your body around. This will help you have a healthy holiday!
