Helpful Holiday Strategies
As Christmas and 2007 draw near, we need to continue to eat healthy and not drink excessively. The following are some strategies that can be helpful:
- Determine what you will eat and drink prior to taking part in any parties, meals or celebrations.
- Recognize that many persons gain unnecessary weight over the holidays because they lose control of their eating and drinking habits.
- Exercise on a regular routine. You may have to adjust your regular workout schedule due to travel, having visitors or other reasons.
- Be polite but let persons who do not know your healthy eating, drinking or exercise habits know you are firm with them. Do not let your guard down. Bad habits begin when we break good ones.
- Do not do excessive labor. Too many heart attacks occur during the holiday period.
- Christians need to remember Christmas is a Holy day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and is not a time just to party, buy and receive gifts.
I wish you and those you love the happiest and holiest of days and a prosperous and healthy New Year. Your emails and communications during 2006 were appreciated and I want them to continue in 2007.
