Overeating During The Holidays
Here are some tips regarding overeating during the holidays…
- Small Snack – Have a small snack before you to go each party – it may curb the desire to eat everything all at once right off the bat 😉
- Alcohol – Be careful how much you drink, the calories in alcohol are heavy
- Stay Hydrated – Water helps your body process and digest food, move blood and be alert; the average person should be drinking about a gallon of water per day
- Quality Food – Quality over quantity; whole, organic healthy foods over heavy processed cheap foods help
- Less Ingredients – Our bodies digest food better the less ingredients there are to digest, usually a good rule of thumb is food that has less than 5 ingredients (though that is hard around the Holidays) but good to keep in mind
- Veggies – Try to eat the veggies first; for example you have a plate of cherry pie, mashed potatoes and cream corn and broccoli – eat the broccoli first, the calories will help fill you up first on healthy food so you have less desire to stuff yourself with the more fun foods 😉
- Chew Your Food – Don’t forget to chew up your food and not just inhale it – The average person should chew their food about 19 times before swallowing but it’s actually more like 4-7. Remember to chew up your food.
- Small Exercise – Do small exercises, even if it’s just pretend jump rope in place for 1-5 minutes; or just take a walk around the block
