The Christmas season is approaching, which we often associate with bountiful food and relaxation. However, many of us want to maintain a healthy lifestyle during the holidays. So how do we combine the joy of food and well-being with an active lifestyle?

Eating mindfully

The Christmas table may be rich in flavours and aromas, but the key to maintaining a healthy diet is moderation. Instead of restricting yourself, try to enjoy every bite with awareness. Try to choose a variety of foods containing plenty of vegetables, protein and grains. Don't forget a balanced amount of fluids, ideally water or herbal teas. If you have a sweet tooth, try to limit your intake of refined sugars and reach for desserts with natural sugars, such as fruit or honey. Quantity is the key - small portions can still bring pleasure without feeling full.

Activity in your daily regime

Moving around at Christmas doesn't have to be difficult. A suggestion for the whole family might be taking a walk together after dinner or taking part in a Christmas run. When the weather outside is inhospitable, try inviting relatives to play board games or dance. Even a short workout in the living room can bring pleasure and keep you moving. If the choice falls on traditional sports, that too has its charm. Ice hockey, skiing or ice skating can be a great way to enjoy the joys of winter and burn a few calories at the same time.
