Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, reflect on what we’re grateful for, and enjoy delicious food. To ensure you have a happy and healthy holiday, here are three simple suggestions!
-
Balance Your Plate
While it’s tempting to pile your plate high with all your favorite dishes, try to include a variety of foods. Think about adding some colorful veggies and lean proteins alongside those yummy carbs. This way, you can enjoy your meal without overindulging.
