Stay healthy over the holidays
The holiday season brings wonderful feelings, great re-connections and overindulgence.
This is the time of the year where most adults start gaining stuffing pounds carrying them over - and not losing them all - to the following year. A combination of overeating and sedentarism may be the culprit for this cycle.
What to do?
- You definitely want to enjoy yourself and your family during the holiday season but you don’t need to have that third plate for dinner or dessert. Look at the whole buffet before you pile up food on your plate and take your time while you eat.
- Avoid drinking too much during the holiday season. Drinking daily while overeating will make you gain quite a bit of weight fast.
- You’ll start exercising after the holidays? Keep up with physical activity. You have your inlaws, your kids, and extended family? Organize a walk in the afternoon or try some outside games even if the weather is cold. You need to compensate eating more than usual with physical activity.
- Have a plan: If you have already carried over extra pounds from last year’s holidays and the previous holidays, you want to ensure you stop the negative cycle now.
- ENJOY! Have a wonderful time with your family and friends.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
