Here are a few tips to eat healthy during Thanksgiving:2,3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eat sitting up straight, and not standing up<\/b> — A good posture will help you to naturally breathe properly and it will support your digestion. And most importantly, you will eat more consciously.<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  2. Eat plenty of vegetables<\/b> — At least one-third of your plate should consist of vegetables and fruits, which have a higher water content. This will help you to control your hunger while getting adequate nutrients.<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Use a small plate!\n

    <\/b><\/li>\n

  4. Save your calories for your main Thanksgiving meal. <\/b>Reduce complex carbohydrate intake, eat moderate fat, and focus on lean protein sources. <\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  5. Drink plenty of water <\/b>— This will allow you to eat at a slower pace causing you to eat less.\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  6. Enjoy the meal! \u00a0<\/b>The joy of eating with your family and friends will be so much more if you are conscious that the food you are eating is becoming a part of you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here\u2019s a <\/span>recipe<\/span><\/a> for you to enjoy this Thanksgiving!<\/span><\/p>\n
