(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 13, 2013 ) Durango, Colorado -- Weight gain over the holidays is a concern for many women, but with just a few tips, women and men don't have to worry so much about gaining large amounts of weight in fact they may find the opposite could happen by simply adding in one food, vegetables.
While regular exercise is a staple suggestion for anyone wanting to lose weight or avoid weight gain, a second tip is to eat more of the fruits and vegetables known as superfoods. These include kale, sweet potatoes and even apples all of these types of foods can be included in holiday dishes. Beets, carrots and eggplant are more suggestions on the list and are easy to prepare as well.
Superfoods contain high amounts of vitamins- like Vitamins A and C, minerals and phytonutrients; at the same time, they can be relatively high in fiber and low in calories. Each has long been recognized for its nutritional value, but sometimes it can be difficult to get people to eat them.
Incorporating brightly-colored superfoods in one's diet may help them to eat fewer calories overall, as the high water content of some of these foods and their fiber content take a long time to digest and will leave diners feeling fuller longer. The body has to work harder to digest fibrous fruits and vegetables than products made of refined flours and sugars, which have had many nutrients and some fiber removed.
Many superfoods, like the above mentioned options, can easily be incorporated into a healthy and bright holiday menu for parties, or even as a regular family meal and snack.
When preparing vegetables for meals, everyday snacks or platters of healthy holiday snacks, the visual impact is important. The Native Spring spiral vegetable slicer can transform any firm vegetable like the sweet potatoes or carrots on the superfoods list, into fun and interesting spiral shapes that are nearly irresistible. Just choose a vegetable, put it into the slicer and twist. It works just like a manual pencil sharpener- creating swirls of vegetables with the same turning motion of a pencil sharpener handle. In minutes, a party platter can be awash in colorful swirls of nutrient dense food, and cleanup is simple just put Native Spring's spiral vegetable slicer into the dishwasher. Once the slicer is dry, just drop it into a kitchen drawer for storage it's that small.
"We all know that eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is a healthy way to get all of the nutrients you need, but there are times when it's just easier to reach for chips or a cookie instead of something healthier," says Heather Brinkely, Publicity Director for Native Spring. "The trick is to make the healthy food options fun and incorporate them into meals you are already cooking."
