How is Your Health After Christmas? While Christmas is a time for celebration, it is also a time when our health quite often is all but celebrating.
We tend to drink a little too much, and eat a little too much, and what makes matters worse are the types of foods that we are eating.
Most people like to indulge in the 'goodies' at Christmas and these are precisely the foods that our bodies are not needing as another year comes to an end.
Many of us are tired and in need of a little bit of rest and relaxation and while we might be a bit less active we place ever increasing strain on our digestive system and many other aspects of our health by bombarding them with low value foods that are high in sugar, flour and processed foods.
It is quite alright to indulge in some of these treats once in a while, but the festivities of Christmas often spill over into the following days and sometimes weeks.
The problem with this is, the longer we mistreat our body the longer it will take to recover.
Another problem that is associated with eating these ‘low value’ foods is the fact that they make us tend to crave for more even though our body is saying stop!
The simple answer is to enjoy the foods and drink that we like but maintain a level of restraint so we don’t feel unwell the next day
