While everyone struggles to maintain a healthy diet during this time of year, it is especially important for seniors to keep nutrition in the back of their mind. One of the best ways to reduce cravings is to plan ahead. Try to account for the options beforehand and make decisions about which holiday treats you would really enjoy the most. Decide that those will be your picks, and then plan healthy meals around them. Another tip is to fill up on the good stuff first. If you fill your belly with nutritious foods like fruits, veggies and lean protein, you’re less likely to overindulge in greater amounts of fat, sugar and salt.
