We progress from sugar-heavy Halloween to gastro-rich Thanksgiving, followed by the even more glutinous winter holiday season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But there\u2019s no reason the holidays can\u2019t be healthy. It\u2019s all in the ingredients, the care you put into your meal and with whom you share it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"> You can nudge yourself into the next steps by joining the final NourishMe cleanse of the year, to be held Nov. 15-22. Call (208) 928-7604 for more information and to register. Cleanses give the body a chance to start afresh, with a healthier gut, more energy and less toxins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Then start your Thanksgiving Day by playing with the dog, taking a run or hike, or by joining Hailey\u2019s annual Turkey Trot. The fresh air and exercise will help boost your metabolism and keep your head clear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Make sure your food is fresh, locally sourced (if possible) and organic. This is preferable, since factory-farmed food often contains antibiotics, hormones and pesticides, and farm animals often have been raised on GMO feed, with no consideration of animal welfare. Poor animal equals poor meat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">When you buy locally, you support your friends, neighbors, the environment in which you live, your health and the ranchers and farmers in your area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Real food has inherent nutrients that factory-food practices eliminate. Plus, food grown locally, that hasn\u2019t been plucked, harvested, packaged, processed, shipped and warehoused, tastes 100 percent better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Make your starter a lovely piece of fruit or a light soup, which will start your digestive system rolling. Have a little of everything rather than huge portions. This will give you a taste without the splurge, which can domino effect right through the rest of your holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Be present with your loved ones and your food this holiday season. And enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY DANA DUGAN Like it or not, at this time of year it\u2019s more about food than about spiritual practices.
