Load up on healthy food choices During the holidays, food isn’t always just food; it can be an indulgence loaded with delicious tradition. You don’t have to completely deny yourself. Keep your plate healthier at holiday parties by filling it with fruit and vegetables first. Reserve a small portion for anything else you may want, even if it’s less healthy. Be sure to sit down to savor each and every bite. 5. Keep the conversation light Family tensions can rise during the holidays, but this is a time to find neutral ground.
