Maintaining a Healthy Diet During the Holidays

Updated: Mar 9

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and indulgence, often filled with festive meals and sweet treats. While it’s tempting to dive into every holiday delicacy, maintaining a healthy diet doesn’t mean missing out on the fun. With a little mindfulness, you can enjoy the season and still prioritize your health.

Start by practicing portion control. Instead of piling your plate high, savor smaller servings of your favorite dishes. This way, you can enjoy a variety of foods without overindulging. Balance your plate with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to ensure you're getting essential nutrients alongside holiday treats.

Stay hydrated, as thirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drinking water throughout the day can help curb unnecessary snacking and support digestion. Additionally, be mindful of sugary beverages like sodas and holiday cocktails—opt for healthier alternatives like sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice.

Healthy Food: Salad
It's a challenge to eat healthy on a festive season, but it's worth the investment to choose your food correctly.

When it comes to desserts, moderation is key. Share a slice of pie or sample a cookie rather than eating multiple servings. Incorporating mindful eating practices, such as chewing slowly and appreciating the flavors, can help you feel satisfied without overeating.

Lastly, plan ahead. If you’re attending a potluck or gathering, contribute a healthy dish to share. This ensures there’s at least one nutritious option available.

By staying conscious of your choices, you can enjoy the holiday season guilt-free and enter the new year feeling your best.

Dr. Valino -Stock has been my doctor for many years . She genuinely cares for her patients and their welfare! She responds quickly to messages and phone calls. She really knows her stuff and if I could give her 100 stars I would. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so!

Doctor's Appointment

T. R

Dr. Stock is the best of the best. She is patient, kind, empathetic, intelligent, and thorough with excellent bedside manner. She is invested in your health and wellness and extremely proactive. I have never been so at ease/confident in my care provider as I am with her. I signed up for her concierge service, and let me tell you she is worth it. I could not recommend her more highly and tell anyone looking for a new primary to go to her. She is the epitome of what healthcare should be.

Operating Room

D.S.

Dr. Valino-Stock is able to provide the care she always aspired to in her previous situation. Her appointments are now longer so she can always explore all of my health care needs. There is also plenty of time and attention for my questions and concerns. This extra service is made possible by two things. Her deep commitment and compassion will not allow her to short-shrift her patients. Even outside of our appointments, she is readily available and quickly responds.
