As December unfolds, the holidays bring joy but can also present health challenges. My mission is to guide you towards entering the New Year feeling vibrant. Here’s my expert tips for a healthy holiday season that doesn’t compromise on the festive fun.
1. Front-load with Nutrition:
Say goodbye to pre-party fasting. Kickstart your day with a nutrient-packed breakfast and lunch. Load up on protein, phytonutrients, and fiber to fortify your gut, appetite, and metabolism. It sets the stage for a balanced evening without overindulgence.
2. To Skip or Not to Skip:
If you’ve overindulged, consider a balanced first meal instead of strict fasting. Balancing lighter and heavier days proactively is key. Avoid seeing it as punishment; instead, focus on positive choices for a healthier approach.
3. Be Mindful of Sugar:
Sugar overload can impact mood, energy, sleep, and appetite. Mindfully choose indulgences, as excess sugar can trigger cravings and a loss of metabolic control. Picky indulgence is the key to enjoyment.
4. Choose (Kind of) Clean Alcohol:
While no alcohol is ‘healthy,’ opt for clear options like vodka, clear tequila, or gin over sugary cocktails. White wine generally has lower alcohol content than red, and dry wines contain less sugar. Natural wines with minimal additives can be a healthier choice.
5. Throw out the ‘Rules’ and Be Present:
There’s no one-size-fits-all rule. Tailor your approach based on your health status. Indulge wisely, and if overindulgence compromises your well-being, opt for a measured approach. Remember, joy is nourishment too and a key factor in our primary health. Have a positive plan for the new year in place.
6. Keep Moving:
Maintain movement, even if your routine is disrupted. A brisk walk after meals aids digestion and supports mood. “Exercise snacks”, short bursts multiple times a day, can make a significant difference; a dance around the kitchen, the ‘cereal box’ game (very popular in our household!), some morning stretches etc.
7. Take a Beat:
Plan days where you eat and move in a way that feels balanced. Consider incorporating a “Reboot” day for an easy-to-follow boost to your week.
8. Stay Consistent with Supplements:
Don’t overlook your supplements throughout the holiday season. The magic lies in maintaining consistency, especially when your body is facing seasonal challenges at this busy time of year. Now, more than ever, staying committed is paramount. Essential elements like immunity support, cellular detox, enhanced energy, and metabolic assistance for managing blood sugar during festive indulgences play a crucial role. The good news is, effortlessly incorporating RiVive Shilajit into your daily regimen covers all these bases and beyond.
Conclusion:
Navigate the holidays with intention and balance. Thrive through festivities with these wellness strategies, ensuring you step into the New Year feeling “your most exuberant, revitalized, healthy – Joie de Vivre”
