Holiday Season in Healthy Spirit and Body November 3, 2010 (0) Comments in Healthy Tips by Total Therapy

Here are some helpful hints for a healthy, happy, and stress free Holiday Season:

• Choose whole foods for your snacks as much as possible
• Buy what you need – we eat what we have on hand, so make life easy for yourself and keep reasonable amounts of healthy food on hand to avoid over-indulging
• If you drink alcohol, drink two cups of water to one cup of alcoholic beverage
• Counterbalance treats with foods like green leafy vegetables, spirulina and chlorella

Supplements for extra support…

• Essential fatty acids like Omega 3 oils help keep your heart healthy – certain seeds and nuts, and wild game are all rich in Omega-3s
• Maca Root and herbs like Ashwaganda help even-out energy levels, improve your body’s ability to handle stress, and are highly nutritious
• Vitamin B-complex and additional B5 support the nervous system and help your body cope with the stress of the holiday season

Nutrition for the soul and the environment

• Relax with aromatherapy oils. Soothing scents can bring about feelings of balance, serenity and tranquility. Try a new combination, like orange and cinnamon bark
• Be kind to yourself! Set aside time to relax, enjoy a good cup of tea, dance and sing, walk in fresh air, and enjoy holiday activities. Rejoice in the holiday spirit!
• Head to your local thrift / antique shops for fun and unique gifts
• Re-use old cards and paper for gift wrapping or use re-usable bags and boxes

Here’s to a blissful Holiday Season! Warm and snugly regards, Liliana Tosic – RHN
