Controlling Holiday Eating Habits

Changing eating habits during the holiday season can lead to better health outcomes. Instead of traditional indulgence, consuming a healthy meal a few hours before Thanksgiving dinner can help maintain energy levels and prevent overeating. This approach led to a more positive experience during the holiday, including improved mood and reduced irritability with family. Adopting this mindset highlights the importance of being mindful about food choices, particularly during festive periods plagued by unhealthy eating.
