Holiday Foods to Avoid

The
holiday season means taking a vacation, spending more time with your loved ones
and enjoying festive foods. They are all delicious and you’ve been waiting for
months to taste them. However, if you want to avoid health problems, like high
cholesterol and toothaches, you should avoid some of them, according to some of the top

tips.
The top offenders on our list are:
1. Candy Canes
You pick them from the Christmas tree and chew on them, just like you did as a child. But candy canes are nothing more or less than sugar, chemical flavors and food coloring. So, leave the candy canes in the tree as decorations and choose other desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.
2. Carbonated Drinks
Your favorite soda pop helps you wash down a plentiful meal. But it is laden with sugar and will damage your teeth, liver and kidneys. There are many other holiday drinks you can enjoy, such as freshly squeezed fruit juice, sparkling water and wine.
3. Eggnog
Hot, satisfying and sweet – the eggnog is a staple in holiday menus along with punch and sherry. But its sweetness is given by the large quantity of sugar used to make it. If you don’t want to fully give up egg based drinks, you should replace eggnog with the Advocaat cocktail.
