Tips to Avoid Thanksgiving Overeating


• Eat walnuts: Eat a handful before your meal. They will help fill you up, and the antioxidants can improve your artery function and reduce inflammation.
• Limit yourself to two alcoholic drinks: Alcohol removes your inhibitions, so if you drink before you eat, you're going to overeat.
• Sit down and chew your food: You will enjoy your food more if you chew it slowly.
