Get More Nutrition Out of Your Holiday Foods!

The holiday season is a joyous time of the year! Sometimes, however, it can be
difficult to stay away from certain foods that are high in sugar and fats and
low in nutrients! This can lead to overeating and gaining those unwanted holiday
pounds!!
You are welcome to go to my free newsletter on healthy holiday nutrition ideas,
located below my article. Here are three easy but favorite ideas that you can
add to your holiday traditions that are high both in flavor and nutrition!
1. For a holiday meal: Grill a lean steak that has been marinated in good
season's dressing for a few hours. The dressing should be prepared with olive
oil. Marinate asparagus in another bowl with the same kind of dressing and add
to the grill after steak has been flipped to finish cooking the second side.
Serve with tossed salad, and wild rice. You are getting important minerals and
nutrients from lean meat, two to four servings of vegetables, and a whole grain,
with no processed, unhealthy foods!
2. Desert Alternative: Try serving a big fruit salad along with the pies candy
and cookies. They will offer another choice to people who are sick of all of the
sugar! You will add a couple of servings of your daily, required intake of
fruits with this dish.

3. An idea for an appetizer: Try slicing fresh mozzerella cheese (drained from
the water it is packaged in), and put them on small pieces of a good, whole
grain bread (toasted or fresh) along with a slice of tomato. Then top with fresh
basil leaves, a bit of sea salt, olive oil and pepper to taste. Again, a
delicious, nutritious snack that is not loaded with processed ingredients, salt
and sugar.
By eating healthier during the holiday months, you will find that you will
increase your energy levels, your digestion will improve and you will not have
as many of the food cravings we all develop, for those tempting holiday quick
energy fixes that leave us more tired out!
I hope that you enjoy more of my articles and tips for getting healthier through
the holidays!
Be well!
