The Triple Crown is Coming- NO not the horses- The Holidays

Thanksgiving🦃 Christmas🎅  & New Year’s Eve🎉!
​

Let’s take the pressure off of the ridiculous resolutions we hold ourselves to on Jan 1 and get pro-active during the holidays in order to feel better, and hopefully stay healthy!

How to be pro-active;
​

1. Eat before you go.  
        Seriously, who does this?  Nobody!!!  because we are all so excited that someone else is serving us dinner.  Instead, go for the healthier foods at the table; proteins/fat and veggies first, then notice if you still want the other party foods.
2. If you partake in alcohol, consider a wine spritzer 
3. If eating dairy (cheeses, dips)
         Be careful, as dairy is a mucous producing food in the body (stuffy nose, colds)
4. Stay hydrated....with water!

Fun Fact:  
Have you ever wondered why everyone seems to get sick/colds/flu during and after the holiday season? After any sugar ingestion, our immune system can stay suppressed for up to 5 hours after eating =  the immune system is weakened. One drive through sugar habit during holiday time for many people is Starbucks.

How many Starbucks coffees do you typically consume?
​

16 oz Starbucks Mocha Latte – which contains 8.3 Tablespoons of sugar =immune suppression.  If this is a favorite pick up during the season, consider asking for less chocolate, no whipped cream, and no added sugar to the drink.
 
Don’t consider the holiday season something you have to “pay for” on January 1.  Stop the madness now, and be mindful of your choices.  You will feel better and the pressure is off when the New Year rolls around.
 
If you would like the Triple Crown of immune support before the holiday season, please contact the office to place an order.

In addition, if you would like to set up a new year, optimal you for 2020, please contact the office and we can start the process!
