Top tips on staying healthy over Christmas

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Christmas is only a couple of days away! Even though there is nothing wrong with indulging a little bit over Christmas – it is important to also keep a check on what you are eating, how much exercise you are getting and how much time you are taking out of your day to relax.

My Spring Day has provided a couple of points on how to stay healthy over the Christmas period.

1. Exercise
Try to exercise outside as much as possible and take advantage of sunny days! You don’t have to do anything extensive – a nice walk around the block is fine!

2. Water
Drink lots of water to keep you hydrated – especially on those hot summer days. If you know you are going to be eating unhealthy food at night try a Dandelion tea as it helps to detoxify the liver.

3. Sleep
It is important that you get plenty of rest and aim for 7-8 hours sleep every night. The body needs time to recover and mend and sleep is when it achieves this.

The Christmas period can be quite a frenzies time – take time out for yourself and be sure to stay healthy and active especially as you enter into the New Year!

Merry Christmas!
