For many, celebrating = overindulging. Though we wholeheartedly endorse enjoying your favourite food and beverages – especially on special occasions – doing so moderately can be the difference between feeling great and terrible the next day.
The key is not eating on autopilot – just because it’s there – and considering your future self before deciding whether to indulge or not. Ask yourself how this choice will make you feel the next day – or that night. If ‘not great’ is the answer, the next question to ask yourself is: is it really worth it. When the answer is yes, go for it. If the answer is a maybe or a no, that’s your cue to skip it.
Here are some suggestions for healthy and yummy eats – perfect for Canada Day or any other day!
