The holidays bring an abundance of joy through family gatherings, gift exchanges and traditional foods. Whether you are celebrating the spirit of Christmas or simply enjoying an evening at home with your family; take a moment to practice gratitude – which research suggests boosts well-being. Lastly, be mindful of any guests that may be living with a condition controlled by diet such as diabetes and Celiac disease. Consider healthier dessert options such as cheese and fruit, poached pears, baked apples or brown rice pudding so that everyone can partake in the festivity of the holiday! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
