Staying Merry (and Healthy) This Christmas Season

The holidays are here! Twinkling lights, endless to-do lists, sugar everywhere, and at least one person in every household is sniffling like it’s their full-time job.

Step Two: Be Smarter Than Sugar From peppermint mochas to sugar cookies “you only eat once a year,” December has a sneaky way of turning our bloodstream into syrup. You don’t have to skip the treats…just…
