Healthy over the
Festive Season

inhibits our ability to properly digest our food.

pace yourself, and take a break.

fiber snack to satisfy you before you head out to
the holiday party. Great examples include yogurt
and fruit, bread and nut butter, or
hummus and veggies.
Apply the 80:20 rule. Balance your diet with 80%
healthy food and treat yourself with the rest. is
way you won't over indulge or feel guilty during
special occasions.
