Staying Healthy During The Holidays Is Nearly Impossible
Staying healthy during the holidays can seem like an impossible task! First, you have a house full of Halloween candy. Second, you may find yourself eating multiple Thanksgiving dinners with family and friends. Third, you may celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa which come along with dinners, desserts, candy, & more.
Besides having a a lot of parties and special foods during the holidays, you are also traveling more which means less time for exercise.

Today, we are going to discuss some easy ways to stay healthy and happy throughout the holiday season!
3 Tips For Staying Healthy Throughout The Holidays
- Maintain Your Exercise Schedule: We know exercising during the holidays can be difficult and hard to do when you are so busy, but any kind of exercise is better than no exercise. Taking a daily walk, do some in place jumping jacks, or hit the gym for a quick session if possible!
- Make & Eat Healthier Holiday Dishes: There are healthier versions of every type of meal you can think of! Try making and eating healthier versions of your favorite holiday dishes.
- Plan Ahead To Ensure Your Health Needs Are Taken Care of: If you suffer from a chronic illness, plan ahead to ensure your health needs are taken care of, especially when traveling. For example, if you have diabetes, make sure you are prepared with insulin, your diabetes monitoring device, and anything else you might need.
