Healthy Ways to Deal with Holiday Stress

Some of us skate through the holiday season with glee. But for many, the hustle and bustle of the holidays takes on a whole other, and often unpleasant, meaning. Worrying about money and finding the right gift top the list of stresses. Add over-eating, family quarrels, and others' expectations and you've got a recipe for disaster, unless you develop a plan.

Nutty Gifts: Nuts for Nuts

If you're looking for a great gift idea, consider nuts. Nuts pack a wallop of holiday tradition, as well as healthy fats and other nutrients, into each nut. Just a handful a day may keep the doctor away, but they'll definitely stave off hunger pangs.

Try crunchy, fresh-tasting nuts!
A handful of nuts can ease hunger pangs! Choose from nutrient-dense almonds, cashews, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and mixed nuts.

For snacks, I enjoy sprouted nuts and seeds. When soaked in water, they begin to germinate, or grow. During this process, they become more readily digestible as the concentrated nutrition in them is released. In turn, their nutritional value skyrockets! Surprisingly, the taste is so enriched that a wonderfully rich flavor is released. Learn more about healthy foods WELLNESS PIECE BY PIECE.
