In the midst of our jam-packed lives, where back-to-back meetings blur into late-night emails, and "busy" is everyone's middle name, there's a critical piece of the puzzle often shoved to the back burner: nutrition. Yes, I’m talking about what fuels the very engine of our high-octane lives. This March, as the world dives headfirst into National Nutrition Month®, we take a different route. We're going beyond the mere act of eating and exploring what it truly means to nourish ourselves in the chaos of our everyday lives.

Finding a healthy weight that works for you also means finding a weight that works for your health. When your weight is in a healthy range, you are able to prevent many diseases and conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Finding your healthy weight can also contribute to increased energy and strength, feelings of joy, and to greater self-esteem.

If you’re trying to figure out how to create a healthy balance through the holiday season, you’re not alone. The best way to make this Thanksgiving a special occasion is by sharing a meaningful experience with family and friends. The priority should be to connect with your loved ones and share quality time with them. You can do this by being more mindful and conscious of the time you spend together, demonstrating appreciation, and finding some time to play and feel festive. While food can play a central role, holiday engagements are about so much more, and what’s important is to be more present in your everyday life.
