It's a couple of days after Christmas and you're still reeling from all the food that you've been scarfing and chowing down on. Piles of potato salad and turkeys and various bits of foods that you've been nibbling on are dancing through your dreams nightly. In fact, you feel like a turkey yourself. How do you get back in shape to celebrate the New Year in your new and sparkly clothes? Here's how :1. Water! Water! Water!
We can't emphasize how important it is to continue drinking water (even though every bit of your stomach feels like it will explode if another milligram of water was added to it). And by water, we don't mean those carbonated drinks. Just plain water is vital to keeping your body processes working properly - yup, getting all those barbequed and fried toxins out of your body.
2. Eat less, but eat more often.
Holiday seasons are when most tables will be overloaded with food. Variety is fine as long as there's moderation. Control that desire to overeat and space it out with more frequent meals. Your body will thank you for it.
3. Sip, don't glug.
What Christmas holiday will be complete without all that alcoholic drinks floating around? Eggnogs, beers, wines... those top the list of most popular drinks. Alcoholic haze aside, try to space out the drinks with some sips of water (can't emphasize how important it is...). It helps to keep you sober and keeps you from dehydrating more quickly.
4. Get up, get down, get around.
Visiting friends and loved ones are the best way to get some exercise. And we don't mean just exercising the mouth. Take a walk around the park with your family. Play some games with your group of friends. Go jogging with your normal exercise pals.
These tips will help you for your post-New Year daze as well. Good luck and Happy New Year!
