HEALTH ALERT!

Are you buying these? You can’t get much more toxic than TBHQ.

This synthetic preservative is created from butane (a very toxic gas) and has been linked to vision disturbances, liver enlargement, childhood behavioral problems, and stomach cancer in animal studies.

New research coming out of Michigan State University links it to the rise in food allergies, which has prompted more research.

Although the FDA allows this in America, this additive is banned for use in food in other countries including Japan, and is on the Center For Science in The Public Interest’s list as one of the worst additives to be avoided in our food.

The holidays should be special, but we often hear that this time of year is frustrating and disheartening because of how often get-togethers with family and friends also come with buffets full of unhealthy foods and well-meaning family members encouraging us to indulge in piles of desserts. Even for the members of our community thriving in optimal health, these can be difficult situations.

It is possible to enjoy the holidays for what they are meant to be—a time to create memories with our loved ones—without compromising your goals.

Here’s how:

•Talk to your Health Coach. Your Health Coach has been in your shoes, and he or she will have insights into what might work best for you. This kind of support is invaluable, and you should take advantage of it.

•Talk to your loved ones beforehand. When grandma encourages you to have a big helping of pumpkin pie, she means well and is using food to express her love. Instead of waiting until that moment to talk to her about your health journey, reach out to her (and other members of your family) to explain what you are aiming to accomplish and why it is important to you. If you do this ahead of time, you can prevent difficult conversations in the moment.

•Rely on the buddy system. If you know you will be tempted to overeat or to break from your health plan, ask someone you respect to hold you accountable. When you have someone there to remind you of your goals, making the healthy choice can become easier.

•Rehearse and visualize. You can likely predict the kinds of challenges you will face over the holidays, so imagine the situations ahead of time and act out in your mind how you will respond. Don’t feel silly (no one will ever know you did this exercise). This little bit of practice can help you to overcome the momentum of the moment.

•Eat ahead of time and drink lots of water. If you eat ahead of time and enter an event already feeling full, you will find it easier to say no to unhealthy foods. As the event progresses, drink lots of water, and if you have to eat more of something, eat healthy vegetables (not casseroles or veggie trays covered in dressings and cheeses).

•Give yourself a reward for sticking to your plan. Before you attend your first event, think of a reward you can give yourself for doing the right thing. Make it personal and meaningful. Maybe you treat yourself to a day at the spa or pick up a new outfit. What it is, does not matter as long as it gives you something to look forward to.

Remember, our goal here is for you to enjoy what really matters—time with loved ones. Holidays do not have to be about food and drink, and you have the power and the ability to make that shift in your own life.
