Holidays should be connected with meetings with your friends, spending time with your family, and the moderated consumption of foods.
In order not to have any surprises once the festive period is over, here are some things you must pay attention to.
Alcohol
Alcohol comes together with the holidays, but you must know that it contains sugar and carbs. Skip the sweet cocktails and try to drink champagne, wine and dry drinks.
Breakfast
Instead of buying a chocolate bar on your way to work, wait until 11 o’clock and eat an apple. At this time of the day, your body starts digesting properly.
Honey
Sweeten your coffee or your tea with honey instead of sugar. It is healthier and more easily to be digested.
Chew easily
When there is a table full of goodies in front of you, to avoid overeating and to have a good digestion, try to chew the food for at least 25-30 seconds before you swallow it.
The day after
You ate almost everything and quite a lot and you also added two or three glasses of wine. Do not despair! The following day, try to have your first meal lately. Your digestive system will have time to recover if you do this.
Exercise
You have to exercise for the entire year, but during the holidays we should do this in the morning in order to be hungry at night. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to jog in the morning, choose yoga instead.
Fast
Avoid the days with abundant food or those in which you strictly fast. The fast will clean your body, but this doesn’t mean that you have to starve. Try to eat moderately.
Organic food
Choose fresh food. Use fewer products that contain preservatives.
Take breaks
Breaks during the meals cannot be but welcomed. This helps your digestion and makes you feel bellyful more quickly.
Make jokes
Make jokes, talk and laugh during the meal. This will make you feel better and eat less.
Keep your hands busy
Finally, here is an excuse for you to keep the glass of wine in your hands for the entire evening. If you will have a mug or a cup in your hand, it will be difficult to hold a plate too.
Leftovers
To take at home the food that is left is in your disadvantage. With time, food loses its nutritional qualities, occupies a lot of space in your refrigerator as well as in your stomach.
Massage your ears
Start your digestive system before you eat by massaging the lobe of your ear for 30 seconds. This will stimulate your brain, will release you from stress and will lower your appetite.
No, no, no
Enjoy the food that you need and try to stay away from those that harm you. Stay away from bread, pastas, coffee, or beer.
Tea Instead of black coffee, drink green tea. This lowers the insulin level and gives you a large portion of caffeine.
