Remember your Fruits and Vegetables

While the holidays are a great time for turkey, ham, or other meat products, it is also a great time to incorporate fruits and vegetables.

The holidays mean heavy traveling, so it might be more difficult to get all the fruits and vegetables we need.

There are some tips to help during travel or down time to increase that intake.

Remember your Fruits and Vegetables

TIPS: Pack raw fruits or vegetables such as broccoli,

carrots, apples, or bananas. Snack on hummus and vegetables on whole-

wheat bread or crackers. Make lettuce wraps filled with black beans,

peppers, and onions. Fill a thermos with tomato or vegetable soup.

Holiday Treats!

The holidays are also a great time for treats! On average, Americans gain one or two pounds

during the holiday season. Do not begin to skip meals throughout the day,

this may result in overeating. Include high-fiber foods for snacks. Include a small portion of your favorite holiday

treat, but don’t overindulge.

Holiday Treats!

Treats are everywhere during the holidays. You can enjoy them and limit fat consumption at the same time.

Try substituting traditional baking ingredients with healthier options to help lower trans fat intake.

Go easy on foods containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.

Switch to trans-fat free margarines. Add raisins or toasted nuts to cake and cookies

instead of chocolate chips.

Overall Tips for Holiday Eating

Do not skip meals, especially breakfast! Bring your own healthy dish to a holiday feast. Use a smaller plate. Start the meal by filling your plate with vegetables and

salad. Eat slowly, savor each bite! Before you go back for seconds, take 10 minutes to see if

you are truly still hungry. After dinner, get some physical activity.
