Day 6 Keep away colds with a boost of Vitamin C

On the 6th day of Christmas my Registered Dietitian 

Recommended to me...

A boost of Vitamin C! 

The holidays can take its toll on our bodies and a little boost of Vitamin C will help to fight off some of the uninvited holiday rundown sicknesses. 

Here are a few quick tips to squeeze in some Vitamin C during the day: 
1. Start your day with a Smoothie packed with apples, oranges and pomegranate juice. Blend it with a cup of plain low-fat yogurt or milk to give it an extra protein punch. 

2. Place a bowl of easily peel-able small oranges and washed apples on the table for everyone to grab for a quick snack. To "dress up" the whole fruits, print out the holiday fruit mask by clicking here. 

3. Provide apple slices with nut butter as a snack, breakfast idea or classroom snack idea. 

4. Throw some pomegranate seeds into a salad at dinner and toss with a citrus vinaigrette. 

Get a quick boost of Vitamin C and the recommended 80-100 Milligrams per day and keep your body healthy and happy throughout the holidays.

12 Days of Healthy Eating tips for the Holidays

On the 1st day of Christmas my 
Registered Dietitian recommended to me...

An unrefined diet for the entire family! 

Three months ago we started the adventure into Unrefined eating for our families. Then....the holidays hit. Now what do we do? Everywhere we look the traditional foods of the holidays are popping up. How can we stay committed to eating cleaner and healthier? 

Over the next 11 days we will have an end of year wrap up and a blog delivered Christmas present for all readers. Just a few reminders and tips on how you can make your holidays healthy and fabulous! 

Getting started on our Christmas gift from a Registered Dietitian to you, we will review the five rules of unrefined eating (these are the foods that are on the do not eat list): 

1. If the food can only be made in a factory by a machine or was invented by a food scientist.

2. After reading the label you find that there are more than 5 ingredients on the label and most of the ingredients contain unpronounceable chemical and color names. 

3. The food item has been on the shelf for many years and has still yet to expire per its expiration date. 

4. If it is a recipe that can not be made in your kitchen. 

5. If it comes from a place that has a drive through or takes less than 5 minutes to make at a restaurant. 

 Think about the foods that you traditionally eat during the holidays and see how you can change it up a bit this year. Your body will thank you! 

Stay tuned for the next 11 days for more tips on how to keep your holidays happy and healthy!
