1411 Mindful Eating for Happy, Healthy Holidays

Holidays come with stress and tons of things to do. Don't overwhelm your mind and body. Here's to mindful eating for happy, healthy holidays.

In itself, staying on track during the holidays can be a stressor. As much as we like food, mindful eating will allow our bodies to stay healthy and our minds to remain active.

Abundance is an incredible gift to have when it comes to time and resources. But food? That's a different story.

Too much of anything can be a challenge for our bodies.

So instead of stressing over the cooking and the food, let's be grateful with mindful eating for happy, healthy holidays.

This is a celebration with family, great fellowship, making memories, and lots of good food. But it's enjoying that good food without gorging ourselves is the key.

And at the end of the day, who needs a stomachache and the after party bloat?

Not you or me!

1. Start your day in a mindful way: Get your body moving and take time to be still throughout the day. Go for a brisk walk, enjoy some yoga or meditation. Jumpstart your day with healthy choices that gets your blood pumping and encourages mindfulness.
2. Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drink water throughout your celebration. A great approach is every other drink is a glass of water. Remember, hydration is essential for promoting good digestion, energy, and focus, transporting nutrients, encouraging circulation and metabolism. Plus, it will help regulate your appetite.
3. Check your hunger meter: How do you want to feel at the end of the meal? Stuffed like a turkey or really satisfied? Stay in-tune with your body and your hunger levels. There's no reason to hit the hay after eating. No food-coma here!
4. Choose wisely: Be sure to eat protein and fats anytime you eat to encourage satiation and reduce those carb cravings. Load up on your veggies (non-starchy), green ones are best. Be ware of the sweet potatoes and butternut squash as they are starchier, but can still be part of a well-balanced plate.
5. Respect your food. Chew slowly: No gobble, gobble at this table! Enjoy each bite. Savor the flavor. Be grateful for the yumminess in your mouth.

Doing these few things will allow you to relax into your celebrations, not stressing over all the stuff to follow.

There should only be one stuffed bird this holiday. And it's not you.
