With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it is easy to skip your regular exercise routine or reach for some less-then-healthy treats. But don’t panic. Here are 12 Nutrition Tips of Christmas to help you stay focused, on track, and healthy this holiday season! 1: Don’t skip all of your favorite holiday treats; just consume smaller portions of them. 2: Offer to bring a favorite low-calorie dish to holiday parties so you can enjoy it. 3: Don’t try to lose weight during the holidays. Focus on weight maintenance. 4: Limit your intake of alcohol and other high calorie drinks such as eggnog and punch. Instead choose water, tea, or calorie-free beverages. 5: Make an effort to maintain your regular exercise program throughout the holidays. 6: Eat a small meal or snack before arriving at a holiday party. This will keep you from being overly hungry resulting in overeating. 7:Eat slowly!

Roasted Sweet Potato Soup With Pistachio
• 2 quarts low-sodium chicken stock • 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon grated zest • 3/4 cup pistachios • 2 scallions • 2 tablespoons mint leaves • Pinch cayenne pepper • 1/2 cup olive oil
Ingredients • 4 pounds sweet potato • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil • Kosher salt • 4 medium carrots, diced • 1 medium onion
• 5 cloves garlic • 2 sprigs sage
Directions Preheat oven to 300°F. Toss sweet potato with 4 tablespoons vegetable oil and salt. Spread sweet potato on 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake for 1 hour. Increase oven temperature to 375°F and cook until sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned around the edges, about 25 minutes. In a large pot, heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add carrot, onion, garlic, sage, and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until vegetables are just tender. Add sweet potatoes and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until vegetables are very tender. Discard sage, if using. Add orange juice. Blend soup until smooth. Season with salt. In a mixing bowl, stir together pistachios, orange zest, scallions, mint, and cayenne pepper. Fold in olive oil and season with salt. Serve soup, spooning pistachio salsa on top.
