Gift yourself this holiday

Holidays are a good time for our taste buds, but for your waistline, this is not exactly an ideal season. Maintaining to stay healthy is a struggle, then comes the holiday season. Holidays revolves around fun, family, friends, gifts, and most importantly, food.

Be guided following these simple steps to stay healthy during the holiday season.

1. Eat Carefully

Holiday foods can be high in calories and low in nutrition. When you eat, sit back and really enjoy the flavors of your favorite holiday. Pay attention to the food’s taste, flavor and texture.

2. Avoid overeating

Digestive disorders, including indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), can result from food excesses. The best way to avoid these digestive problems is to moderate your dietary intake, and knowing when you’ve had enough is the best way to do that. Try to eat slowly as it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to let you know that you are full.

3. Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated will help you kill a potential hangover and fight off any germs that come your way. This also increases metabolism and helps get rid of toxins. An average person should have at least eight 2 liters glasses of water.

4. Prioritize your exercise

Plan your workout regimen around your holiday schedule. Staying active will keep your immune system strong

These are just a few tips you can do to enjoy your holidays in a healthy way. Balance is the key to staying healthy during the holiday season. You can enjoy festive foods while still being mindful about your health when you engage and indulge mindfully and moderately.
