‘Tis the season to be generous to others and to ourselves. People often attend more social gatherings during the holidays where they eat and drink differently than usual. In a spirit of goodwill, alcohol flows more freely and, before you know it, you have packed on a few extra pounds or even worse. Here are a few tips to help you imbibe more safely this holiday season.
Alcohol is calorie-laden at 7 kilocalories per gram. Only fats come in higher at 9 kcal/gm; carbohydrates add up at 4 kcal/gm. Beer averages 100-250 kcal depending on type and size; 12 ounces is considered one serving. Wine runs about 90-100 kcal for a 5-ounce glass. Whiskey and vodka will cost you 55 kcal per shot.
Joy to the world! ‘Tis the season to be jolly! Everyone is happy during the holidays, right?
Wrong. Life can be hard for many people during the holiday season. The holidays bring out heightened emotions, both positive and negative. It makes me wonder, is there a secret to having an optimistic attitude? What can I do to become more positive and happy during the holidays and all year long?
With the holiday season upon us, it becomes increasingly harder to find time to work out. With increased social demands from family, friends, and work, keeping up with those regularly scheduled exercise sessions can get tougher and tougher.
One thing you don’t want to do is to totally stop working out during the holidays. One option might be to opt for shorter routines spread throughout the day (mornings, afternoons and evenings).
‘Tis the season for parties and office gatherings with family, friends, colleagues and, not to mention, lots and lots of food. Be aware, all those weeks of celebrating could lead to an unsavory outcome: weight gain.
Unfortunately, research studies indicate that most adults gain weight over the holidays.
The holidays are just around the corner and so are the family gatherings, work parties and an over-filled schedule. Now is the time to start developing a plan that focuses on healthy holiday habits.
Here are some tips for healthy eating, fitness and stress release so you can start the holiday season out right.
