Employee Wellness Corner
Despite our best efforts, many of us may have over-indulged in our favorite foods during the holiday season. Here are four simple tips to get back on track and keep that New Year’s resolution!
- Don't get discouraged by holiday weight gain -- even if you overdid it, it won't destroy your health goals. In fact, you may unconsciously reduce your intake as the new year begins. When those cocktail party invitations stop coming, often so do the temptations.
- Up your fruit and vegetable intake -- you should consume at least five fruit and vegetable servings per day. These vitamin-rich foods boost your fiber and antioxidant intake and help you feel full.
- Pre-arrange exercise time -- most will stick to a regimen, if it is scheduled. Try to get in 30 minutes every day. Exercising in the morning increases the chance you will!
- Resist depriving yourself -- focus on what you're going to eat rather than what you're not and concentrate on ways to feed yourself with nutritious food. Both of these help you stick to healthy eating habits. For example, don't skip a nutritious, protein and fiber-rich breakfast to save on calories. Consuming that breakfast may help prevent overeating later.
