we’re all about balance at , which is why we wanted to share tips to help you stay healthy AND enjoy yourself this .
Don’t skip meals. It can be tempting to “save up” all your calories for the big event, but don’t. It can slow your metabolism, mess with your blood sugar (causing irritability and intense hunger that leads to overeating or poor food choices). You’re better off having a couple small, nutrient-dense meals throughout the day.
Start the day with mindfulness & movement. Even a 5 minute guided meditation or a quick walk can set the tone, help you stay present & make healthier choices throughout the day.
Hydrate! Proper water intake helps with digestion, energy, focus, metabolism, circulation & regulates appetite.
Eat mindfully. Chew slowly, savor the food & pay attention to your hunger & satiety signals. So much time goes into this one meal - enjoy it!
Don’t stress! Stress impacts the gut just as negatively as junk food & is considered worse for the body than smoking. Stress is linked to an increased risk of anxiety, depression & obesity which may be due to our gut’s response to it. Relax - a day or two of indulgence isn’t going to derail all the healthy progress you’ve made lately.
