Add a healthy multivitamin to your diet
The holiday season is often a harried time for all of us. With obligations to friends and family to uphold, along with kids’ events, shopping and work, we can often lose focus of ourselves and our overall health.
However, it is important to remember that a new year is almost upon us, and it provides a great opportunity to not only regain attention to our well-being, but also commit to improving our health – both from a physical and mental standpoint.
Let’s first talk about how to handle the risk of extra pounds around this time of year.
Treats and delicious food are always tempting, but remember that moderation is the key to a healthy diet. If you need to head out to a party, consider a high protein snack before heading out. It will help to maintain your blood sugar, thereby preventing you from overindulging in fatty hors d’oeuvres.
Remember that two litres of water is the recommended amount to consume per day. Don’t forget about this!
Water is essential to healthy bodily function. It keeps our joints lubricated, staves off fatigue, and keeps headaches at bay- all of which seem to strike during the holidays. Water is also a great way to moderate overindulging in holiday drinking, which can lead to an expanding waistline.
It can be difficult for the best of us to maintain a healthy eating plan during this time of year. Consider supplementing your diet with a quality multivitamin, as well as vitamin D and B12. B12, in particular, can be helpful for your nervous system health, in addition to lagging energy levels.
