5 Thanksgiving Holiday Health Tips
The holidays are a time for family, friends, and food. While it is certainly a fun time, it can also be challenging to stay healthy. This is especially true during Thanksgiving, when there are so many temptations around. Luckily, we have some great tips to help you stay on track!
1) Practice Portion Control: Thanksgiving meals tend to be rich and heavy. Instead of piling your plate, take smaller portions of your favorite dishes. This allows you to enjoy everything without overeating.
2) Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re consuming alcohol or indulging in salty foods. Staying hydrated helps with digestion and prevents you from confusing thirst with hunger.
3) Include Healthier Options: Balance your meal with healthy dishes like roasted vegetables, salads, or a whole-grain stuffing. Try to include nutrient-rich ingredients to complement the indulgent items.
4) Move Around: Incorporate physical activity into your day. Whether it’s a morning walk, a friendly game of football, or a post-meal stroll, staying active helps balance out the extra calories and keeps your energy levels up.
5) Visit Your Chiropractor: Taking care of your body is important during the holidays and we are here to help! Improve your alignment, reduce pain and lower stress with chiropractic care.
