Hello Health 4 kids! Well Thanksgiving is almost upon us and I know many of us are tempted to give in to our appetites and indulge ourselves. And that’s OK! However, one thing to remember during the Thanksgiving weekend with our relatives coming in and the family getting together is not forget to eat healthy food.
There are many side dishes to the turkey feast and many of them can be healthy if you remember to prepare them.
Green beans: these are probably the best things to have during Thanksgiving because they are so rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin K. So when enjoying the feast, make sure to have a large portion of these.
Corn: Just like the first thanksgiving, corn is always a good idea and tastes good too. So make sure to have some good old fashioned corn in your meal. There are many different kinds of corn depending on where you live, but just make sure not to load it with butter, like some unfortunately overweight relatives of mine.
Sweet Potatoes: Are a rich source of vitamin C and have lot of great antioxidants. Some people don’t really care for sweet potatoes, but I would recommend giving one more round. I remember when I didn’t like to eat salad at all or anything with lettuce for that matter, but now I eat it all the time!
Have a healthy and fun Thanksgiving meal.
