A week after giving the shoot-out to one of the most familiar parties, the Christmas spirit invades society, which hastened to organize the celebrations.
According to OCU, 8 out of 10 respondents are willing to participate in dinners and meals with family and friends, when in 2020 they were half. The projected expenditure will also increase, as it is estimated that the Spanish will spend, on average, 22% more than last year. This is nothing more than the reflection that society wants to meet again, have fun and celebrate with its members around a table.
However, endless meals and dinners, along with copious, and the absence of physical exercise for lack of time can stagger all that has been achieved during these months. To avoid casting all “overboard”, Herbalife Nutrition offers a series of tips to avoid falling into excesses and losing good habits due to Christmas comilones.
Recipe for a healthy Christmas menu
In general, the Christmas meals and dinners that follow these days are full of calories and, on the contrary, have a low content of nutrients and vitamins. The menus are usually more elaborate than those we take on a daily basis, which means that often include sauces and ingredients rich in fats and sugars. In addition, they are completed with sweets and desserts and previous snacks, all accompanied by a greater intake of alcohol.
To escape these excesses and maintain a balanced diet, Susan Bowerman, senior director of Herbalife Nutrition's Global Nutrition Education and Training, gives simple ideas to prepare more nutritionally appropriate menus at these dates:
- Start the day with a protein-rich breakfast. Protein consumption not only helps to stay full until lunch, but can even help decrease food intake throughout the day. Powdered oatmeal mixed or food substitute smoothies can be a good choice.
- Avoid going to the celebrations with an empty stomach. Before leaving, it is advisable to take a healthy snack, such as a natural yogurt, low-fat cheese slices, a handful of salt-free nuts, unfatted cheese with fruit or protein bars.
- Plan with time the menus and quantities so avoid eating more and waste food.
- Include more proteins and vegetables in each meal and reduce refined carbohydrates and fats. This way, you get to the most satisfied food. It is also advisable to incorporate lean meats such as chicken and turkey into meals and dinners; and depurative foods such as escarola, endibias, asparagus and alcachofas, among others.
- For the garrisons, remove those that have starch, such as white rice, bread, mashed potatoes and white flour paste and replace with more vegetables or vegetables.
- No one is bitter of a sweet and as it is difficult to resist the typical sweets of these dates, it is advisable to alternate with seasonal fruit.
- In the days after the celebrations, it is advisable to make lighter meals to compensate for excesses.
- Moderate and reduce alcohol consumption and substitute for healthy drinks.
Stay active, even at Christmas
In addition to a balanced diet and mental health, physical exercise plays a fundamental role in well-being. For that reason, even on vacation, it is important to take time for yourself and maintain a sports routine with which to combat the stress and excesses of these marked dates.
A bike ride, run, walk or do errands, perform a workout board at home, or go to activities that require moving, such as going to museums, exhibitions or, Christmas markets, can be an escape way to keep body and mind shaped these holidays and not go up weight.
