#Thanksgiving is a time for family,
gratitude, and, of course, food. The typical holiday meal can have more than
4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat, according to the Caloric Control Council.
That's almost three days worth of food for most of us! So Thanksgiving is all
about overtreating yourself. We need to alter the tradition this year to be
healthy. Fortunately, it is possible to eat right and still enjoy yourself on
Turkey Day!
·
Use brussel sprouts with chestnut and sage
·
Opt for mushroom stuffing over cornbread
stuffing
·
Relish creamed onion with low fat milk to make
white sauce
·
Chose sweet potatoes instead of simple
potatoes. Potatoes are high in calories and fat when made traditionally. Unlike
Potatoes, sweet potatoes are far easy to roast than boil and mash. Glaze with
maple syrup to enhance the flavor. Sweet potatoes are good source of beta
carotene, vitamin A and potassium.
·
Be flexible to make apple shallot roasted
turkey with cider gravy. Apple and shallot cook inside the turkey to keep the
meat moist and add rich flavor and aroma. The shallots also give the gravy a
rich caramelized onion depth
·
Instead of Pumpkin pie, make pumpkin mousse
·
Turn to French beans as side dish
·
Chose red wine or white wine in drinks. Red
wine contains resveratrol, a healthy antioxidant.
·
In turkey, chose skinless breast over thighs.
But
amongst all these the two most important things are:
·
Work out more than you usually do
·
Pitch in to guests’ house after dining at your
own house. That’s the best way to show gratitude to your guests.
If you are really thankful what do you do? You
share .. you share your hapiness and positivity. So being healthy is also to be
shared this Year in Thanksgiving. Let transform the day from overtreating
ourselves to adequately treating ourselves and help others follow the same.
