The holidays can be incredibly bad for your health when it comes to weight gain and eating correctly. Traveling in itself puts stress on your body and the options of what to eat in the airport are limited to mostly greasy and unhealthy snacks.
Get a Group to Exercise With
It is very easy to stay inside and watch TV after a giant meal you eat during the holidays. The cold weather sometimes does not lend itself to going outside for a run. Getting a group together helps in a variety of ways though as you can exercise while having fun. An afternoon or two of pickup sports can make a world of difference when it comes to your body, getting your metabolism going during days that you would just spend eating and sitting is a great improvement. Most families have a health nut or two so getting those people involved will help your cause. Trying a class or two at the gym near where you are visiting is a great way to find something that you might enjoy without the possibility of embarrassment around people who you will see again.
Alcohol Consumption
Some families do not drink during the holidays so if you are reading this and it applies to you then you can skip this paragraph! For those who have a family that enjoy a couple of drinks during the holidays, this is for you. Alcohol can put on weight very quickly and leave you lethargic the next day as well. Unlike many health advisors, I will tell you to drink as much as you would like but to moderate your food intake while you have been drinking. Moderation is always the key when trying to keep your body in shape. Making sure to mix your alcohol with non-sugary drinks or diet drinks is the best option to keep the pounds from piling on.
Supplements
