FROM THE WELLNESSCENTER

It’s the holidays! Yum!It is that time of year again

when we start celebrating theholidays, and often, that meanseating all those delicious foodswe’ve come to expect and love—inabundance. Following, are sometips to help you enjoy all thefabulous foods that the holidaysoffer, without experiencing theeffects that those foods can haveon you.

Continue to drink plenty ofwater. Water not only helps toflush toxins and cleanse the body,but it helps to make you feel full ifyou drink some prior and duringthe meal.

Avoid heavy meals, especially atnight. Instead of taking a nap aftera large indulgence of food, take astroll. It helps with digestion andjust feels good.

Maintain your sleep pattern.Often, we end up staying up muchlater than usual, but this can wearon the body and will make youfeel more fatigued during qualitytime with friends and relatives.

Watch the salt andcarbohydrate intake. Enjoy a little,but realize that overindulgence ofboth of these things can lead topain and swelling in joints andmuscles.

Lastly, enjoy the time you havewith friends and family duringthis special time! Happy holidays!
