The festive season is here! The most wonderful time of the year. We have some tips to help you stay healthy this festive season.
Including fruit/veg with meals and snacks helps to regulate our appetite. They are also a great way to add beautiful pops of colour and texture to your meals!
Keeping hydrated is a must during the warmer months but particularly when alcohol is involved. Consider keeping non alcoholic hydrating fluids available between drinks such as lightly flavoured mineral water or soda water. Or try some festive mocktails for other non alcoholic options.
Try to listen to your body's cues when consuming a meal or snack. When you start to feel full, try to avoid pushing past the point where you feel comfortable. If there are leftovers on your plate save them for later in the day or the next day! YUM
Try to keep active wherever you can. A short walk after Christmas lunch or dinner can aid digestion and help keep you feeling energised.
Most of all, stay safe and enjoy the company of those around you. Enjoy your favourite foods in moderation, there is no need to avoid them!
