Love Your Liver and Keep it Healthy

Read MoreThe holidays are here! That means food and family. You might be wondering how you can be healthy but still enjoy all the traditional food your family is accustomed to. Consider a few healthful swaps to the main meal and stay on track!
4 0z of skinless turkey breast has:
4 oz of roasted Ham has:
For the protein part of the meal - turkey has less calories and fat than ham. Most of the time, turkey breast would be the leaner choice. That being said, most people can incorporate ham into an eating plan without busting their health goals. Controlling your portion is key.
When it comes to sides, think about ways to lighten up the recipe for a little more calorie friendly version. You might not even taste the difference!
So you made the swaps but feel like you need more! Add those fiber filled vegetables. Try a roasted vegetable medley, caramelized brussels sprouts or a colorful side salad. I suggest all patients offer to bring a vegetable side dish to their next gathering. Everyone benefits and the fiber will help to fill you up and balance your portions of the other items.
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season! Hope you enjoy some healthful holiday swaps this year.
