Holidays Are Meant To Be A Time For Us To Unwind, Relax And Enjoy Life, So It’s Okay To Let Loose And Indulge A Bit. Follow These Tips To Not Get Carried Away.
TIP 1: PRACTISE PORTION CONTROL
Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed. Savour your favourite holiday treats while eating small portions. Sit down, get comfortable, and enjoy. Listen to your body so that you know when enough is enough.
TIP 2: PLAN TIME FOR EXERCISE
A moderate daily increase in exercise can help partially offset that increased food intake synonymous with the holidays. Try 15-minute brisk walks or runs twice a day. If that sounds too hectic, try a light restorative yoga class. If you feel like your body needs a break, then ease up a little on your current exercise regimen, but don’t stop altogether. Rather change it up, or opt for gentle exercise instead.
TIP 3: DON’T SKIP MEALS
