Who doesn’t love comfort food? Unfortunately, the American population is far too comfortable. Americans love to eat and drink and at this time of the year there are fewer opportunities to be physically active.
The binge season (Thanksgiving through New Year’s) is a good time to really pay attention to what we eat and much we consume. No one gained weight from eating too much turkey – it’s the second helpings of everything else that are deadly. Not only do we all eat too much but we drink too much as well. Non-alcoholic beverages can pack a huge caloric punch (be sure to be seated when reading the nutrition label on the eggnog).
We need to set better examples for our children. Today, two-thirds of adults and nearly one in three children are overweight or obese. It is certainly not easy but we need to save ourselves and our children.
Enjoy the holidays and enjoy your food – just enjoy a little less food.
