How can we maintain healthy habits during the holidays?

 

With Christmas around the corner, a season filled with celebrations and family moments, we often find ourselves with changing schedules, more abundant meals and less time for the routines that keep our health in balance.

But what if this year we try to enjoy the holidays without losing our good practices? We've put together a few tips to help you maintain your healthy habits over the festive season and start the New Year with energy and motivation.

 

 

Set boundaries with schedules

 

It's natural for schedules to be disrupted during the holidays, but keeping some structure can help you rest better and return to work more easily. If you have evening social commitments, try to stick to a morning routine, such as starting the day with a walk or doing some stretches to activate your body.

 

 

Celebrate in moderation

 

It's hard to resist the culinary temptations of Christmas, and you don't need to. Enjoying traditional foods is part of the celebration! If you want to, you can choose to eat in moderation and make sure you eat fresh. Staying well hydrated will also help you maintain your vitality and avoid feeling heavy or tired.

 

 

Make room for exercise and relaxation

 

Time is a scarce resource when you are on holiday, but maintaining physical activity and mental relaxation is essential for your wellbeing. You may not have time for a long workout session, but you can take advantage of short moments to stay active: a walk after meals, 15 minutes of stretching in the morning, or even a little dancing with the family. Every bit of movement counts to keep your energy up and reduce accumulated stress.

 

It's also important to set aside a few minutes each day for mental relaxation, whether through meditation or simply taking a break to enjoy a moment of peace.

 

 

Commit to new habits for the New Year

 

The holidays are a time to reflect on what we'd like to improve or implement in our daily lives. If you've started new habits, such as exercising regularly or eating a balanced diet, why not make them long-term goals?
