November is a great month and one of my favorites. It is officially autumn but not quite that cold but cool enough to start thinking about Thanksgiving, family, friends, new goals and observation/evaluations of the old ones.
Every year most of us make the same new promises and see that maybe we were not as powerful around the old promises. You know the ones: a new job, new house, new car, spending more time with family or friends,controlling stress, going to the doctor, weight loss, health, exercise and nutrition are among the most common and like last year, around November, you were beginning to really look at what matters most to you and what
you are up to in life and make new promises and goals around that. This year, it may be different, better and full of new hope because Frontier Doctors is here to support you.

Let’s look at weight control and heat health during the holidays.Remember... Thanksgiving is ONE day, ONE meal. If you wish to indulge, do so. For ONE day. Then, get sensible again the next few days. If you love turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes...go for it.
One day. If you love wine, ok. One day. If you must have pumpkin pie with whipped cream... yes! But not the whole pie and yes only one day. And by the way... try this on: what if, you had a turkey dinner with all the fixings and then, you actually had dessert the next day? Not reasonable you say? Then how about exercise that whole weekend, starting Thanksgiving Thursday through Sunday? Long walks? Short walks? Bike rides? Yoga? Fruits/ vegetable /fish detox for the other meals? Considering that most traditional Thanksgiving meals are packed with about 2,000 calories maybe you may consider going
“low fat” the next day or two , something around 2,000 cal the whole day. Try extra Omega 3 rich foods, add another dose of your capsule to your day. How about extra C or D, really rev up your antioxidants and water intake, among many other things.
Did you know that most heart attacks happen just a few hours after your indulgent turkey dinner? And here is some more information, between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, people do more of the things that can lead to heart attacks, including eating more high-fat foods, just eating more in general, drinking more alcohol and smoking more cigarettes. At the same time, they cut back on some of the things that can help prevent heart
attacks, like extra exercise and their supplements. Then there is stress. What else could we add to this amazing pot of things we do that don’t help? Who know? Who cares?

5 Healthy Holiday Foods you can eat.
Pumpkin - Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A and also provides fiber. Pumpkin seeds are high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (the good fats). Pumpkin itself is quite low in calories and is a healthy holiday food. Pumpkin pie, however, becomes a high-calorie food because it’s made with eggs, sugar, evaporated milk and baked in a high-fat pie crust. To make a lower-fat pumpkin pie, you may consider using an egg substitute, light cream or low-fat evaporated milk in your recipe. Go for a pie crust with the lowest amount oftrans fat possible. Better yet, try a home-made pie crust recipe that is not made with shortening.
Fresh Cranberries - Cranberries are packed with Vitamin C and also provide a fair amount of dietary fiber and manganese. Cranberries also contain proanthocyanidins, a type of antioxidant that can prevent the adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract sometimes causing urinary tract infections.
Sweet Potato - Sweet Potato is a rich source of antioxidants such as Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Similar to the banana, it is also an excellent source ofpotassium. If you eat the skin, you will also reap the health benefits of fiber, making the sweet potato a healthy holiday food.Turkey - In addition to being an excellent source of protein, turkey offers
the least amount of fat per serving, among all other meats, if you pass on the skin.
Green Beans - Green beans are probably one of the healthiest holiday foods out there. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K (important in bone health) and manganese. They also contain a good amount of vitamin A, dietary fiber, potassium, folate, and iron. Green bean casserole in a traditional Thanksgiving meal is rather high in calories as it contains butter, cream of mushroom and cheese. Prepare this dish with lower-fat version of these ingredients such as fat-free cream of mushroom and light butter and you will be able to enjoy the yummy taste without the guilt!
