Tips for a Healthy Super Bowl Game or Potluck

Here are some general healthy tips to keep in mind for gameday or if you’re going to a potluck:

1-Eat regular meals throughout the day

Make sure you don’t skip meals just because you’re going to a potluck. Sticking to your regular eating schedule will help balance out your blood sugars and reduce cravings and overeating in the evening.

2- Bring a healthy side dish

It’s hard to eat healthy when there aren’t any healthy food options available. That’s why I recommend bringing a healthy side dish with you to a potluck. Examples include a fruit salad, veggies and dip, or this layered hummus dip.

3-Hydrate with water and be mindful of other drinks

It can be easy to forget to drink water throughout the day. Hydrate your body with water. Be mindful of sugary beverages, juices and cocktails that have a lot of sugar and little nutrition.

4-Enjoy your time with friends and family

Remember to experience eating and enjoy it with friends and family. That’s just as important for health as eating well-balanced meals.
