Healthy Ways To Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

In a time long, long ago before you started caring about your health and body by eating right and exercising regularly, you used to get drunk every day at work to help numb your brain to what your life’s amounted to. While St. Patrick’s Day allows you the chance to relive those old times of just a few weeks past, day drinking isn’t why you’ve been looking forward to the holiday.

No, you’ve been counting down the days to sinfully indulge in traditional Irish fare that takes you back to your cultural roots.

You know, stuff like potatoes.

…and corned beef and cabbage.¹

…and Lucky Charms cereal.²

…and a Shamrock Shake.³

…and green supermarket cupcakes.

…and other authentic Irish food and delicacies that help transport you to your ancestral home of Ireland.⁴

Seeing that I know how important culture is and St. Patrick’s Day is the one day of the year when everyone, including yourself, is Irish, I’m not here to ruin your fun or cultural appropriation. So just go ahead and enjoy everything the holiday has to offer in celebration of your proud Irish heritage!⁵

NOTE: If you have stupid goals and actually want some healthy ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day without going completely off your eating plan, then you might want to check out some holiday eating tips to help you have a boring but healthy St. Paddy’s Day.
