Holiday Foods That Are Healthier Than You Think

Little about 2020 has been normal, and with the holidays approaching, it’s understandable that people want to celebrate in familiar ways. Yet to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that Americans take steps to keep loved ones safe and prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The safest option is to limit holiday gatherings to people who are already part of your household, only virtually seeing friends and family members who don’t live with you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy those delightful holiday meals that help make the season special.

This time of year, health-conscious diners face a challenge: how to navigate creamy soups, rich meats, pies with delicious flaky crusts, and other fatty, salty, and sugary foods while enjoying the flavors of the season. “The holidays really can have adverse health effects beyond just weight gain,” says Jamie Cooper, PhD, professor at the University of Georgia in Athens, and director of the school’s UGA Obesity Initiative.
