EAT HEALTHY THIS FESTIVE SEASON5 Simple Tips from
CHOOOSE YOUR TREATS
Be selective when indulging.
By all means, enjoy your favourite
holiday treats. But, rather than
inhaling each piece of junk food that
comes your way, choose to savour the
foods you really love.
EAT MINDFULLY
Take your time (and chew your food!)
Amongst the busyness of Christmas, it can be
tempting to rush through meals. Try to relish
each mouthful and pay attention to how your
food smells, tastes and feels. Also, try chewing
each mouthful 10 times - it slows you down
(so you can enjoy your meals!).
DON'T SKIP MEALS
Each day is a fresh start.
While it may be tempting to skip meals to
"make up" for a previous day's indulgences,
this often leads to overconsumption later in
the day. Treat each day as a fresh start and
aim to consume lots of fresh, nutritious
foods that nourish your body.
HYDRATE!
Make H2O your friend.
We tend to consume more alcoholic drinks
during the festive season. So, it's important to
stay hydrated to reduce hangovers and help
energy levels. Try alternating alcoholic drinks
with water, and have an extra glass of water
each morning and night.
EAT BEFORE PARTIES
There's more to parties than food.
By eating a light, nutritious meal before parties
and festive occasions, you’re less likely to
overindulge on unhealthy food. Remember – the
festive season is about social connection, shared
experiences, and enjoying the company of loved
ones (it's not ALL about the food).
