Time of the year again. Food,
scrumptious food, sinful food, and more food. But if your child is an active
participant in sports, you know how much important balanced nutrition diet for
your child can be and you cannot take chances. Undoing the damage of an
imbalanced diet is definitely going to be more time and energy consuming than
keeping a check.
To begin with keep a check on fat
consumption. It’s natural to crave for Holiday food, just have enough to
satiate your craving. Keep the portions in check, especially with desserts.
Make sure you include greens, vegetables and fruits. Lean meat is also a good
option. Including eggs alongside a whole wheat or multi-grain bread toast is a
good idea. You can relish your pumpkin pies and stuffing, but eat in
moderation.
After eating, it is important to burn
the fat you’ve consumed. After dinner go for a stroll or an easy ball game.
Make sure you include an exercise regime every day. An early morning workout can
be very beneficial, especially before and after the day of Thanksgiving.
If your family is travelling on
Thanksgiving, or you have elaborate plans with family coming over, workout
regime and control on diet can become challenging. In many cities, Thanksgiving
morning walks/runs are organized for people. This can be a fun way of keeping
check on health. Find out if something like that is organized in your city too.
You can encourage the whole family to be a part of it. It would be a good
bonding activity for the whole family; the festivities can start early. If
there is no Thanksgiving walk in your city, create a fun activity for everyone
to do. Organize a family game, or a little neighborhood marathon, or maybe an
outdoor Yoga session. Everybody could use a workout with all that food
extravaganza that comes with holidays.
Last, and one of the most important
things to keep in mind, stay hydrated. Drink liquids, lots of them. Water is
the best way to stay hydrated, but if you have to take, prefer taking beverages
without added sugar. Prefer natural sugars instead as in fruit juices (without
added sugar) or fruit punches.
The most important thing for
Thanksgiving is to stay happy. Both body and mind should be rejuvenated during
holidays, such that the coming season can have a great start. Stay happy and
stay healthy.
Happy Thanksgiving!
