Stay Fit This Christmas!

 As the world’s most celebrated festival, Christmas, rounds the corner, the rush up to a day that will be filled with delightful eatables and lots of presents and gifting – part of which includes cakes and chocolates. We sympathise: there is a lot of work to be done to stay fit. Whether you want to look good in the new clothes you’ve bought, or if you want to clear out your system and keep your body in check before you indulge in your favourite eats, these ten tips will help you achieve your goals with ease.
1. Make sure you get enough sleep. When you sleep, your body takes the time that you take to rest, to catch up on the processes that take care of your wellbeing. To ensure that your body functions in order, your skin looks good, and your digestion is in order, sleeping well is very important.

2. Keep your exercises going! Christmastime maybe all about celebration, but it’s also about keeping those celebratory rings from forming around your waistline.

3. Eat moderately, but eat well. Always indulge in good amount of portion control and ensure that you don’t binge.
4. Avoid excess salt. Especially because this is the winter season, you are less likely to lose much water, and sweat is not as much in this part of the year. Adding salt in excess in your diet can result in a bit of a dilemma, where water retention may lead to bloating.

5. Forget the whites, go for the browns! Cut back on sugar, refined flour, bread and excess milk. By avoiding too much of the white stuff, your body will be able to avoid calories and cholesterol.

7. A fruit a day, and lots of vegetables on your menu: both must-haves in your everyday life. Eating fruits gives your body the comfort of sugar, so keep it to one fruit so that you don’t overdose on sugar. Vegetables are a sure-shot way to keep your nutrients in order.

8. Drink water! Never neglect the power of the beverage – humble as it is, water is your visa to a cleaner internal system, which enables a toxin-free body. You also gain a lot – from muscle strength to good blood circulation, the benefits are plentiful.
