It’s
sometimes a challenge to eat healthy during the hustle and bustle of the
holidays, especially when the entire season seems filled with hearty meals and
sweet treats. We all know that getting the right nutrients is vital to ensuring
a healthy immune system during the winter months, but most of us are too busy
and overwhelmed to know where to start. While it’s okay to indulge before
kick-starting the New Year with a healthy diet, it’s important to build
momentum prior to January 1st by making smart dietary decisions over the
holidays to ensure a healthy immune system during the winter months and
increased energy for burning off those extra calories.
