3 Secrets For Staying Active and Fit During the Holidays

We have a choice this holiday season: we can give up on our diets and just enjoy the gluttonous eating or resolve to stay fit and active by working out and eating right. Sure, the first option is fun, but let’s try to be healthy over the next few months. 

 

Walk before or after meals: Most health experts tout the 10,000 steps a day routine. So be sure to go for walks before or after meals. The walking will help your metabolism work overtime and burn off all that yummy holiday food.

 

Stay Hydrated: Resolve to quit soda and all those other sugary drinks (or at least keep them to a minimum). The water will keep you full well also cleaning out our system.  

 

Eat Veggies: veggies are low calorie and will satiate your appetite as well. Also be sure to stay away from the carbs, which just turn into sugar and add to your weight again.
