Good and Good for You

     Call it filling, stuffing or dressing, it is an essential side dish that cannot be denied at the Thanksgiving table.  But nutritionists warn that with a 3,000 calorie consumption of the meal certain precautions need to be considered.  So consider the following healthy ingredients to that favorite side:

1. Apples-Diced apples are good for the heart and can lower blood sugar.

2. Pecans-While being high in calories they are also loaded with dietary fiber and can actually
      lower bad cholesterol.

3. Celery-Low in calories, celery is full of antioxidants and are good for heart and digestive
      health.

4. Cranberries-It is a known fact that cranberries can prevent certain cancers and support 
      the body's immune system.

Happy Thanksgiving!
