Experts Share Tips for a Healthier and More Enjoyable Thanksgiving

From mindful eating to post-meal walks, nutritionists and therapists offer strategies to balance indulgence and well-being during the holiday.

Starting the day with gratitude and a balanced breakfast can set a positive tone and help curb overeating later.
Experts recommend prioritizing vegetables and smaller portions to enjoy festive meals without overindulging.
Mindful eating practices, such as slowing down and savoring each bite, can improve digestion and prevent discomfort.
Staying hydrated and limiting alcohol during the meal can aid digestion and reduce post-dinner discomfort.
A short walk after the meal is encouraged to regulate blood sugar and support digestion following calorie-dense foods.
