All that great food, much of it high in fat and calories, can have an effect on the waistline for even the most health-conscious individuals. Dietitians of Canada and the Canadian Diabetes As- sociation have teamed up to bring you their top ten tips for healthy holiday living. 1. Use the Nutrition Facts table on packaged food products to compare the nutrients in similar foods and make lower fat, low- er calorie choices. Most packaged foods in grocery retail stores must carry a standardized Nutrition Facts table providing con- sumers with a core list of nutrients. Visit www. healthyeatingisinstore.ca to find fact sheets and Fre- quently Asked Questions that will help make you a wise consumer when it comes to label reading. 2. Keep your eye on por- tion sizes its often not what but how much you eat that can make the differ- ence. Use Eating Well with Canadas Food Guide as a guide to serving sizes. 3. Make health and road safety a priority when serv- ing holiday beverages. Lower fat eggnogs, virgin Caesars, sparkling water and cranberry juice spritzers without the alcohol are great choices in keeping with the season. 4. Use fresh zucchini or cucumber spears, broccoli flowerets, carrot curls or endive with a low fat dip or spread such as hummus, yogurt or fresh salsa, rather than chips and cream-laden dips. 5. Serve crispy pita tri- angles , f la tbread and homemade melba toast as alternatives to salty, high-fat snack crackers. 6. When it comes to holi- day entertaining check out the delicious recipes, cho- sen with health in mind, in Dietitians of Canadas cook- book Simply Great Food or the Complete Canadian Diabetes Cookbook from the Canadian Diabetes As- sociation. 7. A beautiful array of exotic fresh fruits is a won- derful way to end a meal pineapple, kiwi, mango, pomegranate, mandarin or- anges and grapes are a feast for the eyes and taste buds. 8. Make physical activity part of the holiday fun to provide a balance to eating. Plan a cross-country ski af- ternoon or a hike combined with potluck with friends. 9. Give a gift of health that will last the whole year an exercise ball is great for stretching; an exercise book or video with an exercise mat; golf lessons for the duf- fer on your list; some light weights for strength train- ing; pedometer for someone who enjoys walking. 10. Track your eating and activity level over the holiday season to help you stay on track. Dietitians of Canada EATracker at www.dieti t ians.ca/eat- racker is a convenient and easy to use tool. Or use the Recipe Analyzer at www. dietitians.ca/public/content/ eat_well_live_well/english/ recipeanalyzer/recipeana- lyzer.asp to help modify your favourite recipes with lower fat, lower sodium and lower sugar options. Make these healthy living tips part of your routine the whole year not just for the holidays. Small changes over time will make the greatest impact on your health.
