With so many tempting treats this time of year, subtracting the sweet stuff can be a challenge. From tarts and pies to chocolates and candies, sugar abounds this season.
There are several ways to still have a fun and delicious holiday season, while keeping your teeth healthy and your blood sugar stable.
One way is to make simple swaps. Instead of reaching for candy or other sugary treats, choose fruits, nuts or cheese instead.
Another option is to plan ahead by packing some of your healthy snacks ahead of time, so you don’t have any temptations to fall back on.
Finally, make sure to stay hydrated during the holidays. Keeping your body well-hydrated can also naturally boost your energy and keep you feeling full. To give your water a kick, add a zingy slice of lemon or lime.
If you keep our dental health in mind this holiday season, it can help avoid cavities or other dental problems in the new year.
