Dad's Health Tip of the Week: Happy Healthy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and give you a few tips on how to survive the onslaught of food you are about to consume.
First let’s start out the morning with a big glass of water. Have your normal cup of coffee or favorite beverage to help you wake up. For breakfast try to eat some high fiber foods such as whole grain cereal and add some fiber to it such as psylium. With breakfast you should take an enzyme supplement to help with digestion right off the bat.

Wait 2 hours and depending on what time it is choose your second small meal. This meal should include your protein such as eggs if it’s still breakfast time or maybe a protein smoothie if it’s closer to lunch.

Remember to drink a glass of water between meals as this helps to control appetite.

When it’s time for dinner make sure you take your enzyme tablet right before you eat. You should try to eat a small portion of everything you like. If you feel full after one plate just stop and let that digest for at least one hour before you go back for seconds.

Try not to drink too much of anything while eating as this will dilute the acids in your stomach and make it harder to digest your food.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
