Staying healthy through the holiday season is a challenge and I strongly believe that there are two tips that are the most critical. Staying on track with a healthy diet and maintaining a regular exercise program are key. You also need to make sure you are getting adequate rest and are paying attention to keeping a good balance in your schedule. Some people would tell you to avoid stress but they obviously live in an alternate universe!
Exercise activity is as crucial now as it is in any season. Working with weights and doing aerobic exercise are vital to staying fit and strong to support immune function and circulation. A strong, healthy body is less likely to get sick. As the weather cools, stretching is even more important, as is having indoor exercises we can do. Yoga, Pilates and other flexibility-enhancing movements are helpful at keeping us youthful. Strength training offers benefits beyond physical strength. It improves bone density, weight maintenance, boosts your metabolism, improves self image, strengthens the heart and circulatory system and prepares you for physical activity and reduces stress! It’s also important that you take time to relax and recharge your body with adequate sleep to assist in exercise recovery. Make time for your workouts and don’t cheat yourself on this during the holiday season.
Good nutrition supports our health and immune system during times of stress. Eat a diet that is low in refined carbohydrates and sugar. It decreases blood sugar fluctuations and helps us to maintain a healthy weight. Eat 5-6 small meals a day that are low glycemic and include protein, which supports muscle growth and keeps your blood sugar stable. If you feel tempted to eat the M & M’s at the office, try a handful of nuts instead. Immune supportive nutrients can help us prevent common illnesses and assists our body in detoxification. USANA health pack 100 offers exceptional immune system support by supplying Optimal Daily Intake amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. (There is a link to USANA on the right of the page!)
Stay healthy and enjoy the holidays!
