Winter is\u00a0coming…and we all know what that means: it’s time to eat. With the holidays right around the corner, no matter what you celebrate, there will be copious amounts of delicious and unhealthy food at your disposal.<\/p>\n
While it’s fun to treat yourself every once in a\u00a0while, there are some foods\u00a0you should just avoid altogether. We’ve rounded up the five holiday foods that you should avoid like the plague.<\/p>\n
Egg Nog.\u00a0<\/strong>Sadly, even if this holiday beverage is consumed sans\u00a0alcohol, it’s still pretty unhealthy. The main ingredients are cream, sugar, and raw\u00a0<\/em>eggs — a combo that can cause a serious tummy ache, and\u00a0one serving is\u00a0comparable to eating two whole glazed donuts<\/a>. Have a nice glass of\u00a0peppermint schnapps and hot cocoa instead!<\/p>\n Green Bean Casserole.\u00a0<\/strong>Sorry, friends. Your grandma’s famous green bean casserole is probably\u00a0not the best idea<\/a>. Even though it is technically veggie based, the other ingredients are generally fried and packed with butter and cream, resulting in almost double the amount of sodium you’re supposed to eat in a day (much less a meal).<\/p>\n Candy Canes.\u00a0<\/strong>Say it ain’t so! These are probably some of the most delicious holiday candies, but\u00a0they have absolutely no nutritional value. Save yourself a trip to the dentist and skip the candy canes (except maybe one as a very special treat!).<\/p>\n
