Foods For Health

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means sweet treats, and savory eats.

If you are looking for a healthy alternative to help maintain your healthy smile and figure, there are Thanksgiving foods you can choose.

We compiled a list of best Thanksgiving foods for your teeth.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin E, D and C. They taste sweet but are naturally filling. This can help you eat less and feel more satisfied. We love sweet potatoes because they go with so many types of dishes. You can prepare them in a myriad of ways as well. You can bake, stir-fry, cook, mash or even slice them into all kinds of dishes. Look at your own meal and see how you can add more sweet potatoes into it.  Many restaurants will use sweet potatoes as a signature item on the menu, such as sweet potatoes fries, like B.J. Willy’s a famous restaurant in Beaverton, Oregon. This is because they are naturally sweet but a healthy source of fiber

Cranberries

You can eat cranberries all year round you, but Thanksgiving is not the same without them. Preparing a meal for your loved ones with cranberries is key for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. You can prepare them in many different ways. Fresh cranberries are packed with nutrients and vitamins and proteins. Eating them all year round can help improve your brain function. They are tasty and easy to digest.

Some children don’t like cranberries because of their tart flavor. If you find your children do not enjoy them you can prepare them in with stuffing or the turkey.

Pumpkin Pie

If you are going to splurge on your calorie count on dessert, pumpkin pie is the way to go. Pumpkins are good for your skin. They have vitamin E and a lot of vitamin C in them. This can help improve the elasticity of your skin. The fiber in the crush and pumpkin puree will help fill you up without filling you out. There are many desserts to choose from when it comes to Thanksgiving mealtime. But the traditional pumpkin pie is a classic because it is easy to digest and light on the stomach. Opt for pumpkin over custard, sugar glazed or pecan pie. The amount of sugar in a serving of pumpkin pie will not damage your teeth as much as a pecan pie slice.
