Healthy Eating Tips for the Holidays with Sereen Zawahri Krasuna, MS, RDN, LD

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss healthy eating tips with Sereen Zawahri Krasuna, MS, RDN, LD, Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital Weight Management.

Holiday weight gain is a common concern for many adults. Holiday parties and traditions may encourage overeating, sedentary behavior, and consumption of calorie-rich foods. In fact, between mid-November and mid-January, adults gain an average of 1 to 5 pounds.

This may not seem like a lot, but most people don’t lose this extra weight. Therefore, holidays — no matter the time of year — may be one of the biggest contributors to your total annual weight gain.

That said, holiday weight gain is not inevitable.  This morning we will talk with Sereen and get some tips and wisdom for healthy eating during the holidays.

Tune in to our Youtube Channel to learn about the answers to these questions:

  1. When it comes to Christmas dinners how can we eat a balanced meal?

  2. What are your tips for healthier holiday baking?

  3. How important is protein in our meals?

  4. What kinds of appetizers should we be serving before dinner?

  5. What about alcohol, can it cause weight gain?

  6. Is it best to completely avoid all desserts and treats or eat them in moderation?

  7. Does lack of sleep affect our eating habits or weight gain?

  8. What advice can you offer families with young children?

  9. Getting a jump start on New Year’s Resolutions - Share details on Mercy’s Weight Management program and how to get in contact with you. Phone 330-588-854
