Healthy Holiday Tip

This is the time of the year to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. Don't fret over the extra helpings or sweet desserts you will probably eat. One thing you can do is to use a salad size plate for the meals to help control portions. If you do use a dinner size plate, don't fill it with food. You can always go back for yummy seconds. If the weather permits, plan walks in the neighborhood with some of your house guests. Think of the lovely chats you will have during these walks. If you plan to do some after Christmas shopping at the mall, you will get plenty of exercise as you walk around shopping for bargains. Also, play some of the games on the Wii too.

We are days away from Christmas and I imagine the aroma of good food cooking and sweets baking has begun in many homes. Enjoy yourself and Merry Christmas!
