Tips & Tricks for A Healthy Holiday Season

Lifestyle & Design

Prep the Fridge. Stock up on healthy grab-and-go goodies. Slice and store fresh fruits and veggies, as well as low-fat proteins, like mozzarella, roast chicken and hard boiled eggs. In a pinch, you’ll always have quick and nutritious snacks to munch on in-between events.

Say Hello to Hydration. Water and herbal teas, like peppermint and chamomile, are your best friends over the holidays. Ensure you’re drinking enough water before, during and after overindulging.

Plan Wisely. If you’re attending a cocktail party in the evening, make healthy choices for breakfast and lunch. Also, try eating a light, wholesome snack before your event, as showing up starving pretty much guarantees overeating.


Two Peas and their Pod


Creative Contribution. Prepare a healthy holiday dish for every potluck you attend – this way you’ll always have at least one nutritious item to choose from. Our favourites include tomato and bocconcini skewers, edamame, turkey meatballs, and smoked salmon with cream cheese and cucumber.

Set Your Limit. Decide on how many drinks you’ll partake in before every night out – and stick with it. Slow down your pace – and re-hydrate – by drinking a glass of iced or sparkling water in between every libation.




The Frisky


Plate it Up. Peruse the buffet and then fill your plate, as it will help avoid grazing throughout the night. Also try positioning yourself away from the goodie table so that you won’t snack unconsciously.


Always Fresh


Work In A Workout. A 10 or 15-minute workout is far better than nothing at all. Do a quick search on YouTube for cardio, yoga, stretch and strength exercise programs that you can do from home.
