A little Festive Tip




At this time of year we love to enjoy the festivities and all the food and drink that comes with it.  It is a wonderful time to celebrate and enjoy.  Here are just a few suggestions to combat the effects of what lies ahead.


1.     The 80/20 rule.  I love this.  The body will sustain a fairly good battering before it finally gives in.  However, by being good and eating for your metabolic type 80% of the time,the other 20% is for the indulgence (not Over indulgence!!!). Just Eat Real Food!


2.     With the winter weather soon upon us, please remember WATER (and its FREE!) is of the utmost importance, especially if alcohol is flowing.  For every glass of alcohol, a large glass of water to follow it helps reduces the damage.  Also try eat some nuts or meat with wine, this will counteract some of the toxins.

 
3.     Start the day with your usual good breakfast, aiming for a good lunch too as this helps to keep you on track for your 80/20 rule.


4.     Still exercise!  Enjoy the fresh air, wrap up warm and brave the elements.


5.     SLEEP.  Its FREE! This will not be as good with the high sugar and alcohol intake.  However, by following the points above it will help your sleep stay on track.


6.     Treat treats as treats and do not go overboard!


7.     Don’t be mentally negative, it is a time to indulge and accept this, be youthful!  ENJOY! ENJOY! ENJOY!


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
