The holiday season is a joyous time when we celebrate with our family and friends. However, the festivities often present us with tough choices — tempting, unhealthy foods are everywhere. It has become accepted in our culture to use the holiday season as an excuse for a six-week binge on dangerous foods loaded with sugar, fat, and salt.
Maybe overindulging while celebrating the holidays has left you feeling unhealthy and regretful in the past. When you are not in good health, it exacerbates every other problem in your life and contributes to emotional unrest. Don’t wait for the New Year to make a resolution — now is the time to make changes. If you are serious about caring properly for your body — the only body you will ever have, you'll need to make the commitment to stay on the road to wellness and longevity, even through the tempting holiday season. No excuses. Only you are in charge of your future health.
