Get Well Before You Have To ... Proactive Health Techniques for the Holidays and Beyond

SMART STRATEGIES FOR HOLIDAY HEALTH AND HAPPINESS?

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the joy of family gatherings, festive celebrations, and of course, plenty of delicious food! However, it's also a time when our health and wellness routines can take a back seat. Rest assured, by being proactive, you can enjoy the holidays without compromising your health. Here are my top tips to keep you thriving through this festive season & beyond.??

???? Mindful Eating?

Savor Each Bite: Focus on the flavors and textures of your food. Eating slowly and mindfully can enhance digestion and satisfaction.

Portion Control: Use smaller plates for meals to naturally reduce portion sizes without feeling deprived.

?? Stay Hydrated?

Flavor Infusions: Add slices of lemon, cucumber, or mint to your water for a refreshing twist. Remember to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces up to 100 ounces per day of water.

Herbal Teas: Sip on herbal teas like chamomile or ginger tea, which offer additional health benefits and count towards your water.

??♂? Regular Movement?

Yoga Stretching: Start or end your day with a 10-minute yoga or stretching routine to keep your body flexible and mind calm.

Active Socializing: Suggest a group walk or a fun outdoor activity as part of your holiday meetups.

??♀? Stress Management?

Digital Detox: Allocate an hour each day to unplug from digital devices, especially before bedtime.

Aromatherapy: Use essential oils like lavender or bergamot to create a calming environment at home. There is a lovely LED ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser in my Holiday Gift Guide on the Wellness Evolution Fullscript Online Dispensary at your 15% discount that will fill your room with the scent of calming oils. Go here to check them out:?https://us.fullscript.com/plans/gloria-treister-gifts-thoughtful-gifts-for-wellbeing . Delivery generally takes only 2 days & shipping is free.

?? Adequate Sleep?

Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Develop a pre-sleep ritual like reading or listening to soft music to signal your body it’s time to wind down.

Sleep-Inducing Snacks: A small bowl of warm oatmeal can be comforting and satisfying. Oats are rich in melatonin and complex carbohydrates that can help more tryptophan get into the brain. For more sleep inducing snack ideas, send me an email and I will gladly forward them to you. [email protected]

?? Limit Alcohol and Sugary Drinks?

Mocktails Over Cocktails: Experiment with alcohol-free mocktails that are festive and lower in calories.

Natural Sweeteners: Opt for natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in moderation instead of refined sugar.

?? Connect with Loved Ones?

Meaningful Conversations: Engage in heart-to-heart talks that strengthen bonds and enrich your emotional health.

Group Wellness Activities: Plan group wellness activities like meditation sessions, group workouts or walks.

?? Plan Ahead?

Healthy Snack Prep: Keep healthy snacks like chopped veggies, apples or nuts handy to avoid reaching for unhealthy options.

Schedule Your Workouts: Mark your calendar for workout sessions, making them as non-negotiable as your other appointments. Remember, even 5 and 10 minute “exercise snacks” add up and count!

?? Practice Gratitude?

Gratitude Journal: Keep a daily log of things you’re grateful for. It’s a powerful tool to shift perspective and enhance positivity.

Gratitude Sharing: Share what you’re thankful for with family and friends, fostering a positive environment.?

?? Set Realistic Goals?

Small Daily Goals: Set small, achievable daily goals. This can be as simple as staying hydrated or taking a 15-minute walk.

Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate these small victories. It boosts morale and keeps you motivated.
