Health Tip: Enjoy a Healthy Holiday Gathering

When spending time at holiday get-togethers, make sure your visits are healthy for the entire family.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:

• Serve healthy meals and snacks.
• Make sure food is cooked properly to reduce the risk of food-borne illness.
• Engage in activities that involve exercise, such as dancing, hiking or walking.
• When catching up with family members, ask about their health history.
• Take precautions for safe travel.
• Remain environmentally conscious throughout the holiday season.
