How To Find Balance At Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it comes the opportunity to gather with family and friends, celebrate with gratitude and enjoy festive feasts. Whether you’re a pumpkin pie with whipped cream aficionado, turkey with all the trimmings gal or a lover of all those delicious side dishes, it would be hard to imagine thanksgiving without an abundant spread paying homage to seasonal fare and traditional treats.
So, how to prioritize your health and find balance at a time when a large part of the celebration is focused on food?
It can be helpful to consider your Thanksgiving dining from a holistic perspective. Instead of restricting yourself or feeling guilty for enjoying all those goodies, why not support your health while you intentionally enjoy the season and everything it has to offer.

Consider including a glass of Greens Original as part of your morning routine for the week leading up to Thanksgiving, during your celebrations and then the week following. A great way to find balance over the holidays is to consider which meals you have control over and try to make them as balanced and healthy as possible. If your day consists of a thanksgiving dinner and a celebratory lunch with friends, make a point of preparing yourself a healthy breakfast. Start your day with warm lemon water followed by a glass of Greens Original and then follow up with a smoothie or chia pudding topped with fresh fruit. A strong and nutritious start to the day means you’ll be better equipped to manage potential stressors as well as smoothly digesting holiday fare.
Connecting with what Thanksgiving means to you can also help shift focus away from food and invite you tap into a gratitude mindset. Instead of worrying about calories, support your body with healthy choices when you can and then mindfully enjoy the festive meals without feeling any shame. Consider where your food came from, how it was harvested and prepared and the wonderful people you get to enjoy it with. Eat slowly and taste the seasonal flavors, enjoying every bite. Not only does savoring your food encourage you to be present, it also supports healthy digestion by chewing properly and supporting your digestive system instead of shocking it.
Fall is such a beautiful time of year, it’s easy to incorporate fall walks into your Thanksgiving routine. Get in the habit of strolling after a heavier meal and your body will thank you. Not only is daily walking great for your help, but this gentle movement will help you digest, improve your mood and invite you take in the wonders of nature as your bear witness to the change in season.
Remember Thanksgiving is about gratitude for the bounty Mother Nature provides. Supporting your health with strong wellness habits and celebrating this abundance is the perfect way to give thanks.
