Hey… I know how hard it is to keep “on the wagon” during the holidays. I just wrote a 5 part article on How to be healthy. http://theartofbeinghealthy.wordpress.com – I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you like it!
I find that having festive foods over 1 or 2 days need to be balanced with healthy, immune boosting foods over the majority of the time, especially over the winter. Cinammon is in the top 10 spices that are highest in antioxidants too. If you really want to enjoy the holidays, then stay well.
