Take time to enjoy your favorite holiday treats. Some ways to practice mindful eating include: Pause before eating: Ask yourself WHY do I want to eat this? Slow down: Take smaller bites, chew slow, and taste the flavors. Be present: Focus on the experience, not just the food.
Pairing treats with a balanced meal can keep your energy steady. Combine treats with meals: Have your seasonal or holiday treats with lunch or dinner, instead of eating it on an empty stomach. Add more nutrients: Meals with protein and fiber help keep you fuller for longer, balancing out the treat.
Homemade dishes can be tasty and nutrient-dense. Honor traditions: Make favorite recipes that bring you joy and connect you with loved ones. Try nutrient-dense recipes: Check out liveWELL’s Seasonal EatWell Cookbook for fall and winter dishes. Enjoy the process: Cooking at home gives you a chance to be present and mindful.
