Top 3 Tips To Stay Healthy This Holiday Season

by Dean Zusmer Florida Licensed Chiropractic Physician

From Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year's, it's that time of the year again when families and friends gather and feast. A time of family, fun, and good food should not distract you from taking good care of your health. While it's easy to gym and eat the right kinds of meals the rest of the year, don’t let the festive season target your belly.

It's not difficult to keep yourself fit and healthy even if it is December holiday fun time. All you need are a few self-reminders and a schedule you can stick to. And if being pain-free this holiday season is also on your mind, you can opt for an evaluation at an accident clinic in Miami. It is never a good idea to delay treating your pain and waiting it out.

It can get a bit confusing as to what to adopt and what to avoid during the holiday season. To make it easy for you we've come up with 3 health tips that will help keep your body in perfect condition even while you holiday and have fun.

Get Plenty of Shut Eye

Never sacrifice on sleep. For a healthy body and positive mood it is essential to get at least 8 hours of good quality sleep every night. Lack of sleep can interfere with your sleep cycle and throw your body out of the regular rhythm that it is used to being.

Contrary to what people think about relaxing during holidays, it can actually get quite hectic. With more parties to plan and food to prepare, it can get difficult to get the required shut eye each night. A simple solution to getting enough rest is to get someone to help you with your holiday work.

Why do it yourself and neglect your health and diet? Hire help if need be so you can continue to focus on paying attention to your health and sleep.

Pay Attention To What You Eat And Drink

Feasts are delicious and holiday season is fun. It's not just difficult to stop nibbling and concentrate on those pounds you're gaining, all those extra bites can interfere with your main meals too.

Not just what you eat matters, but also how you eat and at what time. A quick nibble here and a tiny bite there can quickly end up as extra pounds over the course of the holiday month.

The opposite, that is eating only two big meals a day, is also not a wise decision as far as your health goes. Two heavy meals a day will make you gain weight, even minus the extra snacking. Stick to the healthy and holistic manner of eating that of eating 3-4 small or medium meals daily. And, if you do end up being part of a really big and heavy feast, compensate in your next meal or eat light the following day.

Put a cap on the booze too. If you really don’t want to pile up those kilos, make sure you drink within limits. Why load up your body with empty calories from alcohol, when you can easily try non-alcoholic options, such as lime and soda or even sparkling water. Add joy to your Christmas minus the weight gain.

Exercise

Yes, while it's easy to add "exercise regularly" to your new list of New Year's resolutions, it's prudent not to wait till then. Start following it right through December. Regular workouts can save you from depression and indulgence.

When you exercise on a regular basis, you release endorphins that jumpstart the good mood you require to keep you going through the holiday season. Also, exercising regularly boosts flow of oxygenated blood throughout the body.

Stay Pain-Free With Chiropractic Care

To remain pain-free in a natural and holistic manner, chiropractic care is the way to go. Irregular sleeping hours and not exercising regularly can lead to bad posture. Your back pain and painful joints can benefit from spinal adjustments. In case you've been involved in a car crash and are having neck or back pain, a chiropractic evaluation is a must.

By getting evaluated at our accident clinic in Miami you will not only be able to remain pain-free this holiday season, but will also be able to keep off those extra kilos by following our customized treatment plan.
