The holidays are all about enjoying good food and good company. 🦃 🥕 🥔 🧑🧑🧒🧒
With a few mindful choices, you can keep your heart and blood sugar happy, too!!
These are just ideas. Everyone’s health needs are different, so make the swaps that work best for you and enjoy your favorite holiday foods in moderation. 🦃
❤️ For High Cholesterol:
Choose roasted turkey breast over dark meat, swap butter for olive oil, and fill half your plate with veggies before reaching for richer dishes.
💙 For Diabetes:
Balance your plate with protein, veggies, and mindful portions of carbs. Choose whole-grain or smaller portions of stuffing, keep drinks sugar-free, and enjoy dessert by sharing a slice or adjusting carbs elsewhere. Check blood sugar as needed — and if timing medications around a big meal is confusing, your pharmacist can help!
💛 For High Blood Pressure:
Look for low-sodium choices, rinse canned ingredients before cooking, season with herbs instead of salt, and stay well-hydrated to help your heart work its best.
No matter what you’re managing (cholesterol, diabetes, or blood pressure), small tweaks can keep you feeling your best. Your pharmacists are always here to answer questions and support your healthy holiday.
