How to eat healthy this Easter? Here are some tips
Important of eating healthy.
It’s almost Easter, one of the most important Christian celebrations, and it’s also one of the most unhealthy times of the year. Families are usually full of desserts, sweets and other high-calorie treats.
This is why it’s important to stay on track and make healthier decisions, especially if you’re diabetic or working with pre-existing chronic conditions. Here are some great ways on how to eat healthy and have a healthy Easter celebration.
1. Start Your Day Right
It’s important to have a healthy breakfast to kickstart your day. But not all breakfasts are the same. For example, a bowl of cereal with a glass of whole milk is a lot healthier than a breakfast sandwich from a fast-food restaurant.
2. Snack Healthy
Snacking is part and parcel of Easter, and you don’t have to give up this part of the tradition. One way to stay on track is to have healthy snacks in the house. Fruits, nuts, non-sweetened yogurt and protein bars offer delicious alternatives to meet your hunger pangs.
3. Juice Up
Sweetened beverages and alcoholic cocktails don’t have much to do with a healthy lifestyle. Switching them out for juices, which are colorfully festive, delicious and also healthy. Explore options and custom recipes for fruit mocktails or juices and have a blast.
4. Strike a Balance
Plan a healthy and nutritious meal by adding a balanced mix of healthy fats, proteins, vegetables, fruits, and starch. The type of carbohydrates also matters. For example, eating whole grains, vegetables, and fruits is a good way to consume complex carbohydrates for keeping your blood sugar levels more stable.
Conclusion
It’s tempting to let loose during Easter, but as long as you stick to these tips on how to eat healthy, you’ll be able to overcome the sugary temptations of the Easter basket.
