It seems like this time of year most of the focus is on what not to eat, and how unhealthy all the tempting goodies surrounding us on the holiday table are. But although all foods can be bad for you if you eat too much, many of the foods that sometimes get a bad wrap are not actually all bad. Mashed potatoes, for instance, are full of vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Egg nog has calcium and protein, and "figgy pudding" has loads of nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and niacin.

See this article for 7 holiday foods and how they can be good for you. It's Christmas! You're gonna indulge, at least a little, so ya might as well feel better about it.
