The shortened days of winter seem to have hit a little harder this year, and with the early darkness and cold come changes in eating habits. Dehydration, decreased fruit and vegetable intake, and holiday party treats are all common occurrences once December rolls around. Here are some dietary changes you can focus on this month that may help fight off the winter time blues!

Although a cold refreshing glass of water may not seem as appealing when the temperature drops, hydration is still incredibly important in the winter. To help warm you up while also meeting your hydration needs, you can add broth based soups to your dinner rotation, add lemon to hot water, or sip on some hot tea!

The cost of fresh fruits and vegetables tend to increase as those summer time favorites go out of season, but that doesn’t mean you should stop buying them! Berries, peppers, and so much more are offered (typically at a lower cost) in the frozen aisle and are still packed with nutrition. If you are a stickler for fresh foods, buying foods that are in season can help keep your costs low. Citrus fruits, grapes and cranberries are all seasonal favorites, while carrots, squash and mushrooms can help round out the meal. If you are feeling adventurous, try pomegranate seeds! Don’t worry, here are step by step instructions on how to get to the seeds.

Though I am a fan of holiday parties and the treats they often include, overindulging can have an impact on your weight and fitness goals. Add on the fact that physical activity typically decreases with the colder and shorter days, and we can see undesirable weight gain. To try and counter this, focus on sticking to smaller portions and really savoring each bite (or sip), and find an activity that you enjoy that will keep you wanting to get up and get moving!

This recipe for Pinto Bean Soup is a broth based soup that can help with hydration, add in some vegetables, and is easy and flexible so you can use whatever you have in the house!
