Every year Christmas is coming and everybody is searching for new recipes to impress their loved ones. And of course everyone is trying to save time and money. There are a lot of holiday recipes that are meant to take you r breath away, but the first thing that should cross your mind should be that you have to keep the menu healthy. That is why you have to choose those holiday recipes that do not contain too much cholesterol and fats, not to mention sugars. Here are some tips we give you so that you can stay healthy and in good shape throughout the holidays: the first thing that you take into consideration is that you don’t starve yourself before the main dinner because you will tend to eat faster and more if you are hungry; another thing that you should do is to watch your portion – moderation is always the key; you should a also choose those holiday recipes that have less fat – fat can be found in fried foods, cream-based soups, cheese filled casseroles, pies, salami or sausages etc.; we also advise you to try different versions of eggnog – the traditional one is quite fat (you can try the commercial eggnog because you can find fat-free versions); you can also try to change your drink choice for the night, so instead of beer, cider or Bailey’s you can try wine or spirits which contain fewer calories; another tip would be that you should drink a lot of water because water can clean your body and can help to digestion; on the other hand your body might need extra water on this time of year because all the alcohol and coffee that you might have drunk can seriously dehydrate your body; the last tip is that besides choosing appropriate holiday recipes you should make sure that you will have some sort of physical activity too – the best thing on this holiday season would be the family walks.
