- Most of our holiday events center around food. Be sure to eat something prior to the gathering and focus more on enjoying the company of others rather than the buffet table.
- Set an intention and have a plan. Include plenty of veggies and some good quality protein instead of filling up on bread, chips, crackers, and sweets. Perhaps a bite of dessert will be more satisfying than a plateful of sugar that not only zaps energy but also suppresses immune function.
- Rather than indulging on alcohol why not enjoy a “healthy cocktail”? Pour into a wine glass sparkling mineral water such as San Pellegrino; add a splash of cranberry concentrate, and a twist of lime. Better yet add an ounce or two of Body Ecology’s CocoBiotic or InnergyBiotic (available in the office), which are naturally fermented, refreshing probiotic beverages that support digestion, the immune system, and reduce cravings for sugar!
- Aim to be 80% perfect and 20% human. If you’ve over indulged have a small glass of water with 2 teaspoons of raw apple cider vinegar to help balance blood sugar and pH. Toast the day and “begin again”.
- Don’t skip exercise! As it improves circulation and keeps the lymphatic system flowing. Important components of immune health.
- Sleep and rest are crucial to keeping your energy, mood, and spirits high and immune system strong.
- Take time out to relax with yoga, meditation, and quiet time.
- Count your blessings! An attitude of gratitude makes one happier and healthier too.
