Can you have a Happy AND Healthy Holiday?

Does the Word “Healthy” during the Holidays create stress? Sometimes we need to take a step back and look beyond using food as the ONLY way to define healthy. This holiday, consider focusing on healthy relationships during the holiday times. Get everyone to put down their tech and Share stories of your family history with your kids, funny stories and sad ones. Incorporate green by going outdoors to walk or play a game. Get a little holiday exercise by getting some steps in BEFORE stopping to shop! Talk, Listen, Share and Move this holiday to add a little “Healthy” into your Holidays!
