The famous quote by Greek physician Hippocrates, “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food” has stood the test of time. Many foods provide more than a tasty meal-they provide energy, vitamins, minerals and more!
Splurging on cups of hot chocolate festive cocktails can get anyone in the holiday spirit, but drink with caution. The comforting, seasonal drinks we all love can wreak havoc on your wellness journey.
Remember: It’s best to keep your beverages less than 5 calories per serving to help facilitate weight loss.
