Eating Healthy While Celebrating

This month's Active, More Powerful You challenge is to make healthy food choices during these summer months where potlucks reign supreme and healthy eating can sometimes fall to the wayside.

[Music] Picnics, parties, and barbeques, oh my! This month's Active, More Powerful You challenge is to make healthy food choices during these summer months, when potlucks reign supreme and healthy eating can sometimes fall to the wayside. Summer picnics and get-togethers are often full of foods like fried chicken, hotdogs and hamburgers, and potato salad- foods that may be delicious but may not be your best choices. Paying attention to your food choices when you're celebrating can be difficult-but it's worth it! There are things you can do to help keep your healthy lifestyle on course and still enjoy these fun occasions with your friends and family - like choosing smaller serving size of your picnic favorites and making some changes to favorite recipes to make them healthier. Watch the July Active More Powerful You how-to video to learn how you can eat healthy during summer celebrations.
