Keeping healthy at Christmas and New Year does not mean abstaining completely from goodies and drinks. Here are some ways to have your fruitcake and eat it too.
1) Watch your portion sizes
Rather than eat on large slice of cake, select bite -size pieces of several offerings. You can have different foods without overeating.
2) Make sure the food on offer is not excessive
Do not over order or prepare too much food during this season. Try to prepare the right amount just for everyone. You won’t want to waste food either.
3) Eat with friends and family
When you eat with company, you tend to have better manners which will keep overeating in check.
4) Shop smart
When hitting the streets to shop or run errands, keeping a supply of healthy bites on hand mean you will not be tempted to buy unhealthy snacks.
5) Avoid fatty foods
Rich desserts and fatty meant make the digestive system toil harder. So enjoy your turkey but make sure you take off the skin before eating it.
