Hand-Picked Tips

December is in full swing along with holiday festivities, visits with friends and family, and perhaps traveling to fun destinations. It is no secret that usual routines tend to go by the wayside this time of year. We may find ourselves knee deep in cookie batter and up to our elbows in appetizers and cocktails! Despite all the temptations, we can try to meet seasonal changes armed with a plan. Don’t miss Jill’s nutrition program this month: “Enjoying the Holiday’s with a Healthy Twist.” Learn now to keep your cravings down and your morale up by developing healthy habits that can outlast any holiday buffet. Whether it is planning your meals in advance or keeping an eye on portion sizes, even the smallest efforts go a long way.

Use this month as an opportunity to discover what your healthy vision may be for the new year. Learn about making SMART goals – like eating more vegetables – before making New Year’s resolutions to increase opportunities for success. Soup can be a perfect vehicle to ingest a bowl of satisfying goodness, filled with grains, beans and veggies. Soup can provide nourishment and appease even the pickiest of eaters. As we move along our day, it is normal to get hungry and we reach for a between-meal bite. Snacking can be a nutritional downfall, but it does not have to be. Deliberate snacking can help keep energy levels up and blood sugars even. But we all know there are different qualities and quantities of snacking. Explore how to make snacking fun and wholesome! Have a safe and healthy December. All the best in the coming year!
