8 Christmas tips to boost your health over the holidays
The Christmas season can be the most beautiful, but also the most stressful time of the year. End-of-year projects are completed, presents and parties are organized, the alcohol flows and there is an abundance of food. Our experts in the fields of therapy, nutrition and exercise have put together 8 helpful tips to help you stay healthier over the holidays:
1. drink lemon water 🍋
A glass before breakfast stimulates the metabolism and protects against the Christmas belly 😉
2. snack healthier 🥜
- Nuts contain lots of healthy fats and fill the stomach
- Don’t leave your snack plate out all day
- Take smaller portions
3. detox after the holidays ☢️
Detoxify your body for 1-2 days. Avoid sweets and alcohol and eat fruit and vegetables instead to settle your stomach.
4. seasoning smart 💡
- Cinnamon: Stimulates digestion
- Ginger: Stimulates digestion, against nausea & inflammation
- Cardamom & aniseed: help with digestive problems, bloating and flatulence
5. leave everyday life behind you 🍃
Give your cell phone a rest and turn off the TV. Instead, have conversations, play games, go for walks and enjoy the company.
6. take time for YOU 🧘
Don’t forget to consciously treat yourself to moments just for yourself during this time. Even if it’s just sleeping in or a hot chocolate.
7. get help 🤝🏻
You are not alone! Learn to hand over tasks and let your loved ones help with the preparation and follow-up work. They will be happy to support you.
8. recognize the beauty in simplicity 🌹
Not everything always has to be perfect and sometimes less is more. There is something special behind every meal and every gift. Just enjoy every moment of this wonderful time!
On that note, have a great time and stay healthy!
