Holiday Celebrations (NAPSA)—Are you anxious about maintaining a healthy diet during the upcoming holiday festivities? The Cancer Research Foundation of America (CRFA) offers a few healthy eating tips for all those special occasions. A wellbalanced diet and exercise can reduce your risk of cancer and other health problems! * Meat: Choose leaner cuts of meat and trim the extra fat. Generally, the white meat on turkey is leaner than dark meat. Take the skin off before you eat. * Stuffing: Substitute cranberries, raisins or apricots for half of the meat for your stuffing. * Gravy: Reduce fat in your gravy by making it from low-fat broth rather than meat drippings. Pour the fat off the drippings if you choose to use them for your gravy. * Vegetables: Help yourself to two or three servings of steamed or baked vegetables, and avoid heavy sauces or butter. Use spices to enhancethe flavor. Add a salad as a side dish. * Dessert: Serve yourself a smaller portion of dessert, and choose those lowerin fat. * Beverages: Choose mulled wineorcider in place of eggnog.
