HOLIDAYS WITHOUT THE "HEALTH HANGOVER"
Ready or not: the holiday season is officially upon us.
For many, this “festive” time of year is synonymous with “feasting” season.
And while some indulgence is well deserved, the goal is to start the new year feeling healthy, energized, and vibrant – not guilty and behind on your health goals for the new year... right?
That's why we’ve created an action plan so you can fuel your festivities, without the fatigue.
Keep Your Metabolism Merry
Think of your metabolism as your internal engine.
This is your body’s process of converting what you eat and drink into energy. The faster your body does this, the better it is for weight loss and performance. This continuous process is vital and keeps you functioning — even at rest.
Metabolic rate varies from person to person, influenced by factors such as age, sex, muscle mass, and physical activity.
The better your metabolism works, the more energetic and alert you feel – a crucial component for enjoying the holiday season to its fullest!
Beat the Blood Sugar Blues
What exactly is blood sugar?
Simply – it’s the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood at any given time.
This is the sugar used by your metabolism to produce energy.
Stable blood sugar benefits everyone, impacting both immediate and long-term health including sleep, hormones, and fertility. Recognizing its daily impact, including mood swings like "hanger," is also vital.
Normal daily blood sugar variations, affected by activities like waking, eating, and exercising, should be steady without extreme highs or lows. Extremes can cause discomfort and, over time, serious health issues.
A balanced blood sugar involves maintaining glucose levels after meals to stay happy, healthy, and energized.
Thankfully, making a few small tweaks to your daily routine can help prep your body, boost your metabolism, and balance your blood sugar so you can celebrate without sacrificing your health.
HERE ARE OUR TOP 5 TIPS TO CULTIVATE A HEALTH FRIENDLY HOLIDAY SEASON
1. Keep it Moving:
2. Balance Your Plate:
Balance is not just key in life, but also on your plate. Aiming for a well-proportioned mix of macronutrients - proteins, fats, and carbohydrates - in your meals helps in managing blood sugar levels and maintaining a steady metabolism.
Include a healthy portion of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, a dollop of good fats like avocado or nuts, and fiber-rich carbs like whole grains or sweet potatoes. This balance not only helps you feel fuller for longer but also prevents the blood sugar spikes and dips that can lead to cravings and overeating.
3. Eat Regularly:
Don't skip meals to "save" calories for big holiday events. This can backfire by slowing metabolism and causing blood sugar imbalances. Instead, eat small, frequent meals to keep your energy steady and metabolism buzzing.
4. Manage Stress:
Holiday stress can upset your metabolic and blood sugar balance. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can spike blood sugar and dampen metabolism, leading to fatigue and weight gain. Embrace stress-busting practices like breathwork, yoga, or reading to keep your health on track.
Remember, taking time out for relaxation isn’t selfish; it’s an essential part of maintaining your overall health during these busy times. (That's why Everyday Dose subscribers receive 3+ months FREE of our favorite breathwork program, Othership!)
5. Upgrade Your Coffee:
Over time, the high acidity and standard processing of normal coffee can wreak havoc on your metabolism and digestive system. For those of us who want to feel vibrant this holiday season, having a morning ritual that optimizes your body's processes is vital.
That's why Everyday Dose is loaded with ingredients like collagen protein, chaga mushroom, and L-theanine. These science-backed natural supplements boost your metabolism, support blood sugar balance, reduce daily stress, and protect your gut health.
The taste? Better than your barista's thanks to our proprietary low-acidity coffee extract.
