a news announcement. Suggested lead in 3, 2, 1…
(INTRO)
According to the National
Institutes of Health, the average American gains one
to one and a half pounds annually during the holiday
season. Typical adulthood weight gain averages one-to-two
pounds per year, leading health experts to believe that
most midlife weight gain comes from poor holiday eating
habits.
Best-selling author and health
expert, Dr. Dean Ornish, describes avoiding holiday
over-indulgence.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE ABOUT INDULGING
OURSELVES, BUT IF YOU INDULGE YOURSELF ONE DAY, JUST
EAT HEALTHIER THE NEXT. WHAT MATTERS MOST IS YOUR OVERALL
WAY OF EATING AND LIVING. SO BEFORE GOING OUT, EAT SOMETHING
BEFOREHAND, AND YOU'RE LESS LIKELY TO OVEREAT AT THE
PARTY. PUTTING FOOD ON A SMALLER PLATE CAN ACTUALLY
MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS WELL, BECAUSE IT GIVES A FEELING
OF ABUNDANCE. PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT, IT'S NOT JUST
WHAT YOU EAT, BUT HOW YOU EAT. WHEN YOU PAY ATTENTION
TO WHAT YOU'RE EATING, LIKE SAVORING A FINE WINE. YOU'LL
GET MORE PLEASURE WITH FEWER CALORIES.
