Practice mindfulness at events and gatherings; focus on the togetherness, the stories, and the conversations. Let the food complement these moments rather than dominate them. As we break bread together, let's share stories, laughter, and our lives, thereby strengthening the bonds that nourish our souls.
However, as we all know, it is easy to get carried away with the abundance of food during the holidays. When that happens, remember: grace and balance.
This month’s guide is filled with resources to help you enjoy balanced, healthful eating throughout the holiday season. In it, we’ll also focus on creating one "Eat" habit to concentrate on this month, helping you maintain your health goals amid the holiday cheer.
As we celebrate the birth of Christ and the joys of the season, let us do so with gratitude for the abundance we are given. Let every meal be an act of faith, a prayer of thanks, and a celebration of life.
Here’s to a December filled with health, joy, and the richest of blessings at every table.
Merry Christmas,

Welcome to December, a month brimming with joy and anticipation as we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the miraculous birth of Christ. And like most seasons of celebration, there will be plenty of food involved. This makes it the perfect time to turn our focus to the "Eat" habit—a crucial component of our physical health and a wonderful opportunity to nurture connections with family and friends over shared meals.
During this season, when tables are filled with festive dishes and treats, it’s a prime opportunity to practice mindful eating. Mindful eating isn't just about choosing healthy options; it's about being fully present when making choices and when eating, savoring each bite, appreciating the flavors, and acknowledging the effort that went into preparing each dish.
Let’s also consider the nourishment of our relationships as we gather around the table, remembering that this season is more about people than food.
