Inspiring Tips for Eating Well During the Holidays

For many of us, healthy eating can easily fall by the wayside during the holidays. What you eat has an impact on your health. However, eating healthy can be easy and delicious. Check out these tips from Kaiser Permanente nutrition experts to get health eating back on track.
Healthy baking ideas
Instead of sourdough bread, try your hand at gluten free or vegan baking. Substitutes like coconut or almond flour for white flour or applesauce for oil pack a flavorful and nutritious punch. Find healthy and delicious recipes from Kaiser Permanente clinicians at KP’s Food for Health blog.
Plant-based eating
Kaiser Permanente recommends a mostly plant-based diet, which focuses on whole grains, legumes, fruit, and vegetables and limits meat and dairy. Not only is it good for your health, but I’s also good for the health of the planet. And with so many options these days, it’s easier than ever to eat plant based. Get the information you need to start a plant-based diet.
Watch your beverages
Studies show that over 22% of calories consumed in the US come from sugary or alcoholic beverages. This can lead to wight gain over time and can contribute to condition like pre-diabetes. Drin water, unsweetened iced teas, or sparkling water. Give your water a kick with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime, or a small splash of 100% juice.
