Avoiding a Blow Out This Silly Season

The month of December is notoriously rife with rich foods, too much alcohol and not enough exercise! It’s a tough one because although some of us try very hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle we have to make exceptions, or do we?

Is it possible to have a healthy Christmas pudding? Is it possible to eat the gourmet delicious treats that surface at this time of year and not feel guilty? We at Lane Cove Chiropractic say YES!

It’s all about tweaking that favourite recipe to minimize sugars and saturated fats. It’s about moderation; and it’s about maintaining our exercise!

Just because you are on a 2-week holiday from work does not mean that you have to fall out of your

routine completely.

Sandy has found this brilliant eBook ‘Christmas Survival Guide’ by Annette Sym with helpful hints on:

-       Christmas Party Planning

-       Christmas Fare

-       Strategies for the Festive Season

-       Ways to stay active over Xmas

This informative little booklet has recipes and tips throughout. How to make a scrumptious low fat, tasty turkey, salads and most important – Christmas pudding!

It’s about not only surviving Christmas but enjoying it and not feeling guilty about simple pleasures. Changing the habits of moving from meal to meal to including gifts that get you out and about on Xmas day and over the break. Plan a bike ride, a trip to the beach with a cricket set, and light meals.

Plan ahead and minimize the stress on the day. Enjoy yourself knowing that you have made scrumptious meals for your family and friends that don’t leave you bursting at the belt. And exercise! We all know that exercising releases endorphins that essentially make you happy so why not make it a part of your Christmas Day!

Annette has also written several cookbooks that are endorsed by Diabetes Australia.
