Healthy Holiday Tips

We all know the holiday season can be taxing, hectic and stressful, not only physically & financially but emotionally as well. We have a few quick tips to help ease you through this season while keeping your health & emotions intact:

▪ Start Smart: eat a nutritious & healthy breakfast that will fuel the furnace. If you find yourself running out the door, be sure to grab a smoothie for the road. Load it up with spinach, blueberries, 1/2 banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, a scoop of protein powder & your choice of liquid (water, almond milk or coconut water).
▪ Arrive to parties satisfied: don't show up to events hungry or ravenous. If you have something in your belly already, you're more likely to make smarter choices, rather than gnawing on anything in sight to fill the void.
▪ Bring your own dish: bring something that you know is healthy and to your liking and munch on it.
▪ Use a small plate: avoid the temptation of building a monument on a large plate. Smaller plate = smaller portions; allowing you to return for seconds for the dishes that are worthy.
▪ Pace yourself: indulge in moderation. Pick an event or meal and allow yourself free reign; avoid the temptation to over indulge at every gathering you attend.

▪ Introduce new healthy traditions: create your own new healthy spin on old traditions like "grandma's marshmallow salad". Your new tradition can be a family hike or donating to a local community cause, food bank or shelter. Consider giving your time to a local shelter or animal rescue facility.
▪ Get outside: even though the temperature dips during this time of the year in our part of the world. Go outside and enjoy the nature that surrounds you. Go for a winter stroll, walk, hike or dust off the snow shoes and get busy outside. The fresh air and change of scenery will renew your spirit and fire up your metabolism.
▪ Be in the moment: sometimes we are anywhere but here. How many times do you take a shower and you are not "in" the shower? As love ones and not so loved ones gather around you this holiday season, acknowledge & be grateful for their presence (not their presents). They may have a very important lesson to teach you.
