Let’s face it, its that time of year. There are cookies, candies, fancy pies and cakes that surround us. Every place we go they are offering us something to eat. Usually that something is far from good for us. Most of the time it is loaded down with sugar and who knows what else. You know those evil things that will clog your arteries, fatten your thighs and slow down your metabolism.

But guess what? There are some healthy choices out there. No really, I am not kidding you. You just have to look for them.

Most parties and gatherings offer the simple things in life. Think crackers. Now not those little goldfish we like swimming in our tomato soup, but triskets, mulitgrain and the wide variety of designer crackers available.

These little crackers serve a number of purposes. For starters they will fill you up. A great benefit of whole grains. You don’t need so many of them.

Next is whole grain is good for you. It is good for your heart health. It has been shown to combat diabetes. It can even assist you in your weight loss goals.

So pass up that cookie platter and meander over to the cracker plate. Find something that is good for you to munch on!
