TIPS TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON

Staying healthy during the festive season does not need to be stressful. There are many ways by which you can enjoy this time while still adhering to your mental and physical well-being. We have put together the top six tips to having a memorable holiday season.

1. TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

If you find yourself online all day, comparing yourself to other people and consuming useless information, this is your time to restructure your life. Did you know that being constantly consumed with information can cause stress on your mental health and have an impact on your life and overall health? It is time for you to take a break from social media! Go offline and experience life without a screen.

The multiple benefits of going offline include better sleep, focusing on what is important on your everyday routine and you can reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. Set virtual boundaries and track the time you spend online. A social media break will have you feeling refreshed and stress-free during your holiday.

2. STAY HYDRATED

Staying hydrated is key to staying healthy. With the excess time, we could find ourselves being more active and in need of hydration and replenishment. December also brings on the Summer heat and in order to have energy, you will need to stay hydrated.

Our brand-new Hustle Hydrade is made with Coconut water and extra vitamins and minerals for hydration and electrolyte recovery. Staying hydrated will give your muscles fuel, clearer skin, a boost in productivity and keep your fluids balanced for your body to function optimally and stay healthy.

3. CONSUME VITAMINS AND MINERALS

The festive season can give us an excuse to neglect some of the healthy habits we have chosen to pursue. It is imperative that you do not forget to consume your vitamins and minerals so that your body does not feel the sudden effects of a dramatic change in diet and lifestyle.

If you are someone who lacks certain vitamins and minerals or who needs excess of these, there are many supplements and options available for you to get the lifechanging dose of goodness that you need. The Vita Pack is a convenient option for your holiday-mood. Our Vita Pack consists of multi-vitamins packed in daily doses for you to take and get the nutrients that your body needs. Vitamins assist with preventing life-threatening diseases and assist as a source of intake when your body experiences a deficiency. 

4. KEEP ACTIVE

Staying active with regular physical activity will boost your mental and physical well-being. It will allow you to prevent illness and maintain a functioning metabolism to help burn off those extra Christmas Calories, as well as give you an opportunity to explore different avenues of self-expression and exercise during this time.

Find different ways that you can stay active with your loved ones and make fun memories while highlighting the importance of health for your family. If you are lacking the energy or motivation to stay active, choose a pre-workout that will assist you with motivation, endurance, energy and muscle repair. Amino Burn and Neuro Burn are two of our most popular Pre’s, available in delicious flavours and easy to use.

5. RELAX, RECHARGE AND REFRESH

Allow yourself to relax and do not get too busy and make yourself feel overwhelmed. This is your time to refresh and recharge for the year ahead, as well as celebrate the year you have experienced, along with your accomplishments – big or small.

Allow yourself to slow down, listen to calming music and stretch often. There are also various teas available that will assist you with detoxing and allowing your body to refresh and become healthier. Our frequently used Green Tea and Digestive Enzymes allow you to detox, as well as assist with the good functioning of your immune system. Focus on self-care, set boundaries, and do not neglect your mental health care.

6. HAVE FUN!

This is the most important tip! You have worked hard this year and you deserve to enjoy yourself. Spend your time doing your favourite hobbies and try out some new experiences that you have always wanted to. Go shopping, take a tour, spend time with your family and friends, dine at a restaurant and possibly even treat yourself to a spa!

You do not need to spend a lot of money on expensive experiences or travel far in order to have fun and make lasting memories. Sometimes, a simple walk outside could boost your health and satisfy your potential boredom.

Do not deprive yourself of those extra Christmas treats and do not be so hard on yourself. Have a fun-filled and guilt-free holiday and allow yourself to do what makes you happy.

The holidays can bring about some stress due to a change in your everyday routine, being more social or giving yourself too many tasks and as a result, feeling overwhelmed. Allow yourself to fully experience this time and be deliberate about the activities you do and people you interact with. Set boundaries, reflect on the past year, and focus on becoming more positive for the next.
