“A great way to burn off your Thanksgiving meal and stave off the tryptophan coma is to engage in family-friendly games. Whether it’s a game of football or a scavenger hunt, staying active will keep spirits high and bodies moving.  If games aren’t your thing, another way to work off that Thanksgiving meal is to take a stroll. Walking will burn some calories and help you unwind after being indoors. It’s also another way to get your recommended 10,000 daily steps.  This time of year is especially difficult for some families and individuals who don’t have the means for a Thanksgiving meal. Soup kitchens and meal delivering services typically have an overwhelming response on Thanksgiving, so they are always in need of an extra pair of hands. Volunteering not only spreads the spirit of the season but also helps you appreciate your own blessings.”
