Holiday nutrition tips

• Exercising for five minutes before a meal or 10 minutes after can help your body make better use of the calories.
• There is always time for exercise.
• Half your plate should be vegetables and the other half should be protein, then you can have seconds of the sweet and fatty foods because you’ve already filled up on your essential foods.
