Maintain Health & Vitality Throughout the Holidays: 6 Tried-and-True Ways! by Kelsey Bednar

Staying healthy with all the holiday indulgences around can be tough. But I have a few tried-and-true tricks to keep you feeling your best this season:

• Get Enough Sleep: Getting seven to nine hours of sleep can help you function more efficiently during the day and reduce the risk of holiday weight gain.
• Drink Apple Cider Vinegar: To support your body’s detox processes, mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a little room temperature water and drink it each morning.
• Take Probiotics: A healthy gut is so important for overall mental and physical health. Taking a probiotic each day can help us maintain the efficiency of our digestive functions and combat irregularity.
• Sweat: Staying active helps us process and eliminate extra holiday toxins. Make a commitment to sweat it out every other day and stick to it!
• Hydrate: Fill up a water bottle and bring it with you everywhere you go throughout the day. Proper hydration can deter weight gain and support healthy skin.
• Indulge in Homemade vs. Store-bought: Making your own goodies allows you to swap healthier ingredients like honey, maple syrup or applesauce for processed sugars, equaling healthier indulgences for your family.
