10 Tips for a Healthier Thanksgiving and Raw Chocolate Torte Recipe

10 Tips for a Healthier Thanksgiving

Get a good night sleep. Inadequate sleep causes our blood sugar to be irregular the day after, which leads to cravings, especially for carbohydrates and sugar.

Have a hearty breakfast. Start your day with a hearty meal to avoid going to the big meal starving in order to prevent eating too much too fast.

Stay well hydrated. Drinking lots of water helps to keep our digestion flowing properly, especially after a meal of lots of fat and salt. Keep the alcohol to a minimum.

Practice mindful eating. Eat when you are actually hungry and pay attention to what you are eating. Try to not eat standing up. Eat only the things that you really enjoy and pass on the rest.

Make your own healthy dessert. Desserts can be delicious made with fruit and nuts, honey or maple syrup, coconut, and chocolate. Check out this healthy version of Raw Chocolate Torte.
