Hints for a Healthy Holistic Holiday
A Holistic Healthy Holiday?? How in the world can one be holistic during the crazy, fun, food laden holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s and still enjoy it? It can be done, simply and effectively with these healthy holistic hints.
1. Move - Moving with awareness creates a relaxed yet energized body. Take walks, stretch, dance, skip elevator/escalator rides, pick the parking space farthest away. While you move, connect to your body. You will be amazed at the difference in your energy!!
2. Eat for Balance and Enjoyment - Yes, you can enjoy all of your favorite holiday foods and still stay in balance. How? Maintain your blood sugar by controlling your portion sizes, how often you eat AND most of all, include green veggies and fruits. Its the veggies and the fruits which will allow your body to stay in balance while you taste the holiday favorites. Squeeze fresh lemon, lime or orange into your water. Munch from those veggie platters, especially the celery and cucumbers. They will add water, keep the body alkalized and energized!!
3.Breathe - Yes, breathe often, deeply and with awareness through the holidays. We all get so stressed out over what we think we NEED to do to create the most perfect holiday, yet. When we stress, we automatically hold our breathe which causes our body to stress even more! So lets take a deep cleansing breath together right now. Ahhh...didn’t that feel great!!
