If you approach your holiday meals as an exercise, not in deprivation but in making smart choices and enjoying your food, chances are you will avoid seasonal weight gain. Try these mindful eating tips this holiday season, and sign up for Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging for more healthy eating tips:
Choose fiber-rich fruits and vegetables for appetizers, eat high-calorie foods sparingly, and avoid dishes high in saturated fat and sodium.
Be aware of what you eat. To help prevent overindulging - and the stomachache, bloating and other gastrointestinal discomfort that can come with it - be mindful when you are eating and stop when you are feeling full.
