The holiday season is upon us! Many of us look forward to festive gatherings, delicious meals, and sweet treats. However, it can also be a challenging time for those trying to maintain healthy eating habits. This free LEAP Speaker Series, Joyful and Nutritious: Healthy Holiday Eating, will explore practical strategies and tasty alternatives that allow you to enjoy the season’s flavors without compromising your health. The goal is to help you navigate the holidays with both joy and wellness in mind. Let’s celebrate the spirit of the season while also taking care of our bodies!
Key takeaways you’ll learn:
- Mindful Eating: Practice awareness of what and how much you eat. Savor each bite to enjoy flavors and prevent overeating.
- Balanced Plates: Aim for a mix of protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and vegetables to create well-rounded meals.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help with digestion and energy levels.
- Mindful Movement: Engage in physical and mindful activities for overall well-being.
- Indulge Smart: Take comfort in knowing you can still celebrate the season with non-alcoholic beverages.
Need some inspiration? You’ll also learn how to make a comforting “Warming Milk Punch” that is sure to warm up just you or a crowd during the cold winter months.
