No matter how health-conscious we might be throughout the year, the holidays tend to be a day centered around food. While enjoying a day like this every now and then isn&#8217;t a bad thing, we want to avoid making holiday choices that stretch all the way through New Year&#8217;s Day!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to make your holiday meal a balanced one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eat breakfast &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>It sounds simple, but eating a healthy breakfast is a great way to start your holiday because you won&#8217;t be starving when it comes to mealtime! \u00abSaving up\u00bb for the big meal usually means a lot more calories!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be active &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Help offset the inevitable extra calories with a good workout to start your day and then plan a family walk or game of flag football after the big meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy swaps<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Find healthy modifications to use in your recipes. Lower in fat or sugar doesn&#8217;t have to mean less flavor!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The un-casserole<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; That green bean casserole is delicious, but so are saut\u00e9ed green beans with a little olive oil and garlic. Throw in some sliced almonds for a nutritious side!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portion control<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Don&#8217;t waste your calories on foods you can enjoy all year long. Instead, sample the unique flavors of the season in small portions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Savor your meal<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0It takes a long time to prepare a holiday meal, so make sure to take the time to enjoy it. Rather than excessive indulgence\u00a0this time, eat slowly and leave the table feeling comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever steps you take to make your holiday balanced, remember what the season is ultimately about: family, friends and thankfulness. Take time to focus more on those things and let the feast be an added bonus!<\/p>\n<p><em>This post was originally published on the OrganWise Guys blog, a\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/togethercounts.com\/\"><em>Together Counts<\/em><\/a><em>\u2122 partner.
