12/17/2016

Here is a short and simple guide to help you eat better this holiday season. If you follow these simple guidelines, you will feel better in your body, put on less pounds and be less likely to get sick!

Here are my tips:

Sip hot water between meals to improve your digestion and immune function.
Sit down and enjoy your meal. Pause and offer gratitude. Savor the flavors. Enjoy the company.]
Pulse between festive meals and simple fare. After a day of rich celebratory food, dial it back. Think healthy and simple like green smoothies and soups.
Avoid snacking. Remember what your grandma always said, "Don't spoil your appetite." Save your hunger for mealtimes.
Make lunch the main meal of the day whenever possible. This is when your digestive capacity is at its peak.
Eat and earlier lighter dinner whenever possible. Think 6 pm. If it can't be earlier, make it lighter.
Up your veggies and eat your greens. this is the easiest way to detox daily and keep yourself healthy.
Aim for early to bed most nights and allow for at least 13 hours between dinner and breakfast. This optimizes digestion and reduces inflammation.
