Have a healthy Christmas

Posted on 21/12/2017 Updated on 20/12/2017

Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, spending time with friends and family and maybe overindulging just a little bit?

Here are our top tips to ensure you don’t start 2018 with that sinking feeling of too much Christmas pudding being the final straw;

1. Don’t sit down all day – go for a walk, kick a football about, ride a new bike. Not only will this aid digestion, but help you sleep better too.
2. Go easy on the booze
3. Don’t give yourself a Christmas stuffing! Recent research suggests that we consume around 3,000 calories in our Christmas dinner – more than the entire recommended daily intake for a grown man!
4. Keep colds at bay
5. Don’t stress – ’tis the season to be jolly remember
6. Eat fruit – even the clementine tucked in the bottom of your stocking will boost vitamin C warding coughs and colds.
7. Do something for others – do you have an elderly neighbour who would love to share some festive spirit?
8. Engage your brain – play games, do a crossword, not only does this keep your mind active but can be fun for the whole family

Most importantly though, have a happy healthy festive season!
