Hello again!Holidays often derail our best health plans. I've been treading water with my goals lately. I do believe that food is as much for enjoyment as it is for nourishment... but I think those yummy frosted cookies have tipped the balance! So, should I feel guilty?
Holidays foods can transcend us to a higher plane of joy. I'm talking about your Mom's mashed potatoes, and your Grandpa's fudge and my frosted sugar cookies.
We associate these foods with warm memories and being with people who make us feel wonderful. I would like to see someone study the effects of this. Wait a minute! They already have and their results tell us that those holiday meals can be more therapeutic than any medicine.
For only a few holidays each year, we allow ourselves the luxury of putting our work and world pressures on hold to share a couple of hours with those we love. Perhaps we can allow some delicious food too.
Nutritional Abyss? Bah humbug.
