7 tips to enjoy the Festive Season without over-indulging
The festive season is famously known for indulging, especially when it comes to food. However, by making some smart choices, while still treating yourself to some tasty snacks, you can enjoy the holidays to their fullest.
With three delicious flavours, vanilla, strawberry and granadilla, YogiPro not only offers a yummy anytime-snack, but is also health smart. So, you can indulge in those festive season snacks and still maintain overall dietary health.
Although it is the season to be jolly, over-indulging can mean that you start the new year off on the wrong foot. Here are some tips on staying healthy while enjoying a well-earned rest this festive season.
- Do not go hungry: The first step in avoiding over-indulging during parties or celebrations is to plan ahead. Eating a healthy snack, such as YogiPro, beforehand will keep the munchies at bay, leaving you less hungry when the canapes finally arrive.
- Make portion control a cinch: Smaller plates give better portion control. And remember that YogiPro you had before the party? Now you can have smaller amounts of festive treats without going home hungry!
- Nutrient-dense is your go-to: Everybody indulges on the sugary stuff during the festive season, but do not forget to have plenty of colourful fruits, vegetables and whole grains with your meals. And by combining fruits and even whole grains with your favourite YogiPro flavour, means that you get a healthy 18 grams of protein as well as all the vitamins and minerals needed for a happy holiday.
- Snack-smart, pack-smart: By choosing healthier options such as vegetable sticks with hummus, or fruit instead of chips and sweets, the festive season can be fun, without the post-festive blues. YogiPro’s convenient packaging means you can take it everywhere for an instant taste-filled snack, no matter where you are.
- Hydration is your friend: To enjoy the festive season to the fullest, pack away the sugary drinks and limit alcohol consumption. Rather opt for staying hydrated with water infused with fruits or herbs. Making sure to have enough water during the festive season also means less weight-gain and fatigue.
- Bring on the games: We know it is the end of the year, and you’d probably prefer chilling on the couch, but engaging in physical activities with family and friends, such as walking or outdoor games, will balance some of those holiday indulgences (and that extra slice of Christmas pudding). Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
- Be mindful: It has been a hard, long slog to get here and you deserve the time off. Take some time for yourself amidst the holiday bustle. Relax, let the stress roll off the shoulders and enjoy the time spent with friends and family. Happy holidays, everyone!
When the good times roll, bring some YogiPro along for the ride and make this the greatest festive time ever.
