Navigating holiday indulgence while maintaining healthy habits

CHENNAI: The holiday season is synonymous with festivities, family gatherings, and indulgent meals. Strategies for a healthy holiday season: Practise portion control Holiday meals are often rich in calories, and overeating is common. Practising portion control can help manage calorie intake without skipping your favourite dishes. Balance your plate Following the 50-25-25 rule can help maintain nutritional balance: Fill 50% of your plate with non-starchy vegetables like greens, carrots, or broccoli. Be mindful of liquid calories Holiday beverages like eggnog, cocktails, and sugary hot drinks are calorie-dense.
