Healthy Eating in the Upper Valley

2 weeks ago

January is the traditional time for people to start trying to take better care of themselves, or at least make up for the excesses of December (and give themselves a platform for dealing with the coming excesses of February through November). With that in mind, many people resolve to eat better and hit the gym.

The idea of "eating better" has become more and more difficult to define in recent years. Sometimes people mean better quality food - but even that notion is a complex mess - organic? local? non-GMO? anti-oxidants? low fat? low carb? (for a good perspective on these issues and in fact, this kind of thinking, check out Michael Pollan's recent book ("In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto"). For this article I'm going to focus on just eating fewer calories as for many people at this time of year, healthier eating means losing weight.

UVFood has several resources that can help you find places that can help you eat better.

Christmas Dinners in the Upper Valley (2009)

last month

You have two options for an actual Christmas dinner on Christmas day: the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farm, and Juniper Hill Inn in Windsor.
