Navigating the holidays 🧑🎄
I hope the end of year brings you all some time for rest and reflection. But before that I can imagine there are packed social schedules 💃, travel plans ✈️, and family obligations 🧑🧑🧒🧒 to juggle. And of course, lots of delicious meals! Below you’ll find a few tips to help you feel your best during this period.
Tips for navigating the holidays
⭐️ Enjoy
Human connection and community play a powerful role when it comes to health and longevity. I hope you all have people around you you can share this time of year with.
😑 Don’t sweat the small stuff
If you’re someone that can fixate on food I invite you to keep in mind that one indulgent meal or day is not going to derail your health. If you want extra context and support you can revisit last year’s post about the 80/20 principle.
🥦 Front-load veggies and protein
Doing so will help keep your blood sugar stable, which in turn keeps your energy levels and cravings in check.
❌ Don’t skip meals
Same as above!
🥂 Be cognisant of alcohol consumption
Alcohol can be very disruptive for sleep, which is something you might want to prioritize during this time of year.
💊 Consider digestive enzymes
These can be particularly helpful before heavy meals by helping break down food, thereby avoiding digestive upset.
Happy Holidays!
Warm regards,
Donelle
