🍽️ Mindful eating tip: Drink a tall glass of water before you sit down. Pause for 5 minutes before the second serving. This helps your body register fullness and gives you space to savor the moment.
📝 Read: “Healthy Holiday Eating” shows how making small swaps (like using applesauce for part of the oil in baking) can make a big difference. (10kfs.umn.edu)
