Decker, CMPC CES 2551 (.6 CEU) Sec $139/Senior Cost $ VT635 eat well The onset of winter can make it hard on people who want to eat healthy. Less daylight, chilly temperatures, and snow all make it hard to go to the gym, and nearly impossible to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities. Winter tends to be the season most people hunker down and are more inactive. These weather phenomena also impact your diet, but, the good news is, there are ways to modify some winter favorites to help you keep a healthier diet while staying warm. Who doesn t like soup on a cold winter day? Soups made with broth (such as chicken soups or vegetable soups) can be quite filling. Even though a broth-based soup is comprised mostly of water, the body perceives it as a much more substantial meal. Substitute some frozen vegetables instead of noodles if fresh vegetables aren t available. Chili is another very filling and very warm healthy winter option. You can learn more about these possibilities in our Savory Soups & Stews class! And you might think you have to give up your hot cocoa, but think again. Instead, just set aside the marshmallows and whipped cream and consider getting some pure cocoa powder, which is high in antioxidants. Of course, many teas are low in calories and are great options so long as you avoid the cream and sugar. Green tea, in particular, has a lot of antioxidants and is said to be a metabolism booster.
