Tips for a healthy Christmas

Tips for a healthy Christmas

Here are some tips to keep your waistline from competing against Santa’s this holiday season:

Learn to say no 

Just because you’re being offered food at  party doesn’t mean you have to eat it. The normal laws of weight gain and weight loss do not change during the holiday season; you’ve worked hard all year to fit into that gorgeous dress, why spoil it now? If you want to avoid this, never go to a party with an empty-stomach – have a healthy snack like a fruit or some high-fibre biscuits before you leave. This will keep hunger pangs at bay and your gorging desires in check.

Keep a check on alcohol consumption

It’s hard to find a Christmas or New Year party where booze isn’t being served. While it’s the holiday season and we don’t want to sound like a grumpy grandma the fact is that too much alcohol, in fact even a little of it is bad for your body. Not only does alcohol have very high calorie content, it also lowers your inhibition which means that you won’t be watching what you eat and piling on more pounds. Also it takes your body a long time to process alcohol and keeps your liver working overtime. Think before you drink, you’re the one who will have to live with the hangover, damaged liver and beer belly tomorrow.

Don’t stop exercising

One mistake a lot of people make is that they stop exercising completely during the holiday season. While gyms can be closed for a while you can try various other alternatives like walking, running, jogging, cycling or you could concentrate on a particular body part like abs for the holiday season.

 A little vigilance, moderation and common sense will go a long way in ensuring that you don’t put on any weight this holiday season. We from Britannia Medical Center - The Enclave wish you a very Healthy and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
