Greet guests in a healthier and safer way 

How you ask? With hand sanitizer, a small table, and a friendly note at the front door… they can set down gifts and sanitize their hands, and even grab a mask if they left theirs behind during the holiday hustle and bustle.  

Once inside why not greet them with a pro-biotic boosting mock-tail. Not only is gut-healthy key to our immune system we also tend to eat a lot of rich foods around the holidays. That's why this powered komucha-style drink mix from n* by *Nutrilite is such a perfect addition to any holiday party. You get 7 of each flavor and they can be added to 6 oz of still or sparkling water. Add some garnish and you've got a great way to jump-start our gut with 500M CFU's of the good bugs that help our body fight off the bad bags and help us digest our food. 

Now we are not saying we toss out the cookies, cake and pie this year but why not include some healthy alternatives. Like bringing a Fruit Basket instead of  a plate of fudge or offering Low sugar beverages instead of sugary juice or soda pop and Lower calorie snacks and hor d'oeuvres  so we don't hit our caloric intake before the meal is even served.

Bonus Tips:

• Reclaim refrigerator real-estate by pulling non-essential items out and placing them in a cooler outside or in the garage.
  
• Delegate some cooking duties to a local bakery or deli. You'll take some thing off your list of To-Do's and still get a homemade feel and flavor by skipping the big chains and supporting a local maker.
  
• Give the Gift of Health: Support your Immune System and those around you by offering snacks and supplements rich in vitamin C and other immune supporting ingredients.
