It’s Mardi Gras season! As celebrations take place across the state, be sure to keep the good times rolling with these tips:
-Control portions. Enjoy season treats like king cake in moderation (unless you want to get the baby and pick the next cake.)
-Pack healthy snacks. Fuel up for the festivities with snacks that keep you energized and won’t lead to a crash later.
-Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and headaches. Hydration packets and fruit can help replenish electrolytes, but water is best.
-Pace yourself. Mardi Gras is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t overindulge too early unless you want the good times to come to a screeching halt.
