5 Ways to Have a Healthier Thanksgiving

Hi, friends!

     I thought I would share with you five important tips to help you have a healthier and happier Thanksgiving.

1. GIVE THANKS! Get up, and give thanks for all God has blessed you with. We obviously should do this every morning, but Thanksgiving is a perfect time to be thankful for all we have. Even if things may not be perfect, we are alive and breathing. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "Give thanks in all circumstances."

2. MOVE YOUR BODY! When you exercise in the morning, you jump start your metabolism and keep it elevated for hours. Moving in the morning will help you burn calories all day, so you will burn that turkey lunch or dinner. :) I've included a circuit for you that requires no equipment--just your body!

3. EAT BREAKFAST! Your breakfast should include protein and good fats. This will help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Scrambled eggs with avocado is one of my favs! I like to eat five small meals a day. For a low-glycemic mid-morning snack, try an organic apple with peanut butter or organic cheese and almonds.

4. PORTION CONTROL! Watch your portions when you are making your plate. Be sure you have veggies and protein. Enjoy the foods you love, but don't pile it on. If you don't control your portions, you will be miserable afterwards.

5. DIGESTIVE ENZYME! These help with gas and bloating. I take them before every meal daily. I take this one every day: USANA digestive enzyme. If you interested in trying it, you can click on "join the ride" and receive 10% off.

     There you have it. I hope this has been helpful! If you do my workout, let me know what you think in the comments below! :)

 

     I hope you have a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
