Is your appetite ruled by hunger or emotions?

Food is a source of nourishment, but food can also be used to alleviate loneliness, depression, boredom, anger and even happiness. If you found yourself eating after experiencing one of the above, and you weren't hungry, this is called emotional eating.

Tips to avoid overindulgence this season
Who is guilty of overeating on the holidays? It's practically a tradition. I recognize the holidays as two distinctive days: Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Yet, most of us try to rationalize our decision with special foods we normally don't eat year-round, even when available at our local supermarket. Unfortunately, overindulging can lead to guilt, weight gain, and yes, fatigue.

Cranberries grace tables for Thanksgiving
If I were to ask you what your family's traditional meal was at Thanksgiving, it likely would include turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Other dishes would be included as well, but those are likely the standards. Even if you never eat cranberries any other day of the year, they likely will grace your table on Thanksgiving.

Harvest festival evolved into Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving dinner, just over a month away, is the largest eating event in the United States. People eat more on Thanks-giving Day than any other day of the year. How did this tradition get started? We have our early Pilgrims and Native Americans to thank for this tradition. Without the joining of the Pilgrims and Native Americans, we may not have had a Thanksgiving to enjoy.
