Eating Healthy this Christmas

Christmas is always a wonderful holiday that we think of fondly. But most of us dread this holiday because of the unhealthy food we "have to eat". Because your family will take it against you if you don't touch tita's famous Christmas Caldereta, or your mom's scrumptious Morcon!
But don't fret! We have ways to eat holiday delights our family prepared without taking its toll on our body the next week. Here are some tips:
1. Eat small portions.
I know this is going to be a challenge but try to control yourself by eating smaller portions and savoring the taste instead of gobbling it all up. Show some class :)
2. Cut down the sugar.
If you have a sweet tooth then this is going to be a huge leap for you. Try to drink about 350 ml of water (preferably with wheat grass powder) before you go to a function. This will lessen your cravings for sweets and other "eye candy" food for you.
3. Switch up.
If you are a fan of red meat or pork, try eating chicken, fish, seafood or veggies this next Christmas gathering. If you can manage, try making your own version of spaghetti. Instead of beef use tuna. I've tried it the kids love it!

Its easier with wheatgrass powder. I use Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass Pure or with honey.

You can add different types of fruit like banana, apple, orange, grapes, cherries, strawberries, or whatever type of fruit that you would like.Chop the fruit into one inch squares and then put the fruit and the wheatgrass juice into a blender. Add a tablespoon or two of your favorite yogurt, preferable low fat yogurt if you have it handy. If you would like to add a little fiber or grain to your smoothie, then you can throw in a cup of oatmeal or granola, whatever you prefer. Top it all off with a little milk or even your favorite juice such as cranberry, apple, grape, or orange juice to give it a bit more of a smooth texture. Blend it all together until you have a great tasting smoothie that is loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals and plenty of wholesome goodness.

Have healthy happy holiday with your loved ones!
