Keep The Holiday Weight OffPDFPrintE-mail

Determined to avoid holiday weight gain? We've got 6 tips that can help.

Are you determined to keep the holiday weight off this year? Even for people who have good eating and exercise habits, the holidays present a particular challenge. ‘Tis the season’ is often interpreted as a green light to indulge in a dietary free-for-all — which is bad for your health and your waistline. Studies have shown that seasonal weight gain can be significant — as much as 7 – 10 pounds.

But you can still enjoy the holidays without throwing all your good habits out the window, experts say. And while the busyness of the season often interferes with exercise time, there are pragmatic ways to curb weight gain.

“There are some practical ways for people to build more activity into the busy holiday season, and also deal with the stress of it,” says Stacy Irvine, Co-Founder and Doctor of Chiropractic at Totum Life Sciences in Toronto, ON.

Dr. Stacy’s tips to keep the health in your holidays:

  • Start adding extra workouts now to make up for the ones you will miss during the holidays.  This will help you start the season in better shape.
  • Never skip breakfast.  All this will do is make you hungrier for the rest of the day by set you up for cravings over over-eating later on.
  • If the weather permits, start your day with a walk to rev up your metabolism.
  • During the holidays book some time with friends or family that involves exercise.  Go for a walk and a coffee, meet for a hockey game, go skating, go skiing or go curling.  There are many ways to get together socially that are not just sitting around drinking and eating.
  • On the nights you do not have festivities scheduled go to bed an hour earlier than normal to boost your energy and immunity.
  • Give yourself and your loved ones the gift of health by doing your shopping at the gym.  Gift certificates are a great way to let someone know you really care about them.

Healthy Tidbits

A lengthy review published on July 5, 2011 in The Cochrane Library reveals that supplementing older individuals with vitamin D3 is associated with reduced mortality over a two year average period.

 

 

Researchers now suggest that daily intakes of vitamin D by adults in the range of 4000-8000 IU are needed to maintain blood levels of vitamin D metabolites in the range needed to reduce by about half the risk of several diseases such as; breast cancer, colon cancer, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes.

 

Findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicate that 25 percent of study participants of the Canadian Health Measures Survey had blood levels below the RDA for Vitamin D.

 

Supplement users had higher blood levels of the sunshine vitamin, according to the new data, and reliance on food sources may be inadequate to ensure optimal blood levels of vitamin D, according to researchers from the University of Saskatchewan, Statistics Canada, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
