Does the desert tray beckon you come hither and add on those extra pounds you don’t need?
Either one will guilt you into starvation in January trying to rid yourself of that extra weight. Well, Dr. David Magnano, a health educator who has designed and presented hundreds of wellness workshops, has some tips for healthy eating.
Not to worry, you will still enjoy a jolly eating season. So here is Dr Magnano’s course in “Eating 101” that reviews seven simple rules for healthy eating, which he says will significantly decrease falling victim to aches, pains, and degenerative diseases both now and as we advance in years….and weight too.
1) EAT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY. Many people eat when they are not even hungry. They eat because they think they should eat: It’s lunch time or because they are on a schedule.
2) DON’T MIX FOOD TYPES. Eat foods in the proper order. It’s preferable to eat foods of one type all at the same time. Have meats first, slowly, which will allow the brain to trigger productions of the body’s strongest digestive enzymes. Add a little salad, and after fifteen minutes, eat your potato. Twenty minutes after the potato is gone, fruits or sugared desserts are okay to eat. The worst error would be to go to a buffet and gorge yourself on foods you don’t generally eat that are grown or are from other continents.
3) DON’T EAT WHEN YOU’RE FEELING STRESSED, ILL OR INJURED. Boyfriend or girlfriend just dump you? Bad day at work? Coming down with the flu? Don’t try to medicate yourself with a pint of ice cream or a New York Strip steak. When we are experiencing physical, emotional and mental stress or when ill or injured or when our body is too hot or too cold, our digestive system is shut down and our body is in healing mode, not digestive mode. Try soup broth and juices.
4) CHEW 22 TIMES…INCLUDING PROTEIN DRINKS. Don’t gulp down those drinks because it’s like swallowing a whole steak. You have to chew protein, or the signals to the brain won’t be there. If you don’t chew, you’re shocking the system.
5) DON’T EAT OVERLY COOKED FOODS. Because we don’t know what’s being added to the food we buy, we tend to over process it because we’re afraid we’ll get sick if we eat something raw. Meat should never be heated in excess of 118 degrees, as the enzymes in that protein are destroyed when they’re heated that high. Guess you have to be careful of the meats you buy.
6) GIVE YOUR FOOD A BACKGROUND CHECK. Learn to be a food detective. Know the history of what you put in your mouth. Are the apples colored or sprayed or glazed? Get fresh, locally grown meat and produce. Start your own small garden. Be sure whatever you consume is the finest you can purchase or grow.
7) USE SPICES AND NATURAL DIGESTIVE AIDS TO HELP BREAKDOWN WHAT YOU EAT. Some cultures add ginger for super digestion. Others, add hot peppers, a digestive tract stimulant. Turmeric is also good for digestion.

Happy holiday eating!
