HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Surviving the holiday food overload Sampling not splurging is key

W By Bill Trivitt

Well, the season is upon us, and if your family is anything like mine, the holidays revolve around the dinner table.

They could whip up anything and everything and not worry a bit about the fat content, sugar, or salt that was in the food. They didn’t have to plan around anyone’s diet or health issues. They just fixed delicious food and everyone ate it. These days we are uber-health conscious and with the obesity problem in this country we should be. My wife and I are here to offer you a few tips on avoiding the overindulgences of the holiday and at the same time enjoy yourself.
