During the holidays, it is not unusual for people to begin following unhealthy eating habits. Not only can these habits lead to weight gain, but also affect the person’s bodily system, including their digestive system. Here at TLC Holistic Wellness, Dr. Carol Ann Fischer encourages her patients to create new healthy traditions that involve beginning a habit of healthy eating during the holidays.
Some tips we offer for creating a new healthy tradition are:
1. Eat a small, healthy snack before holiday meals.
2. Be realistic in your goals for happy holiday eating.
3. Help cook some of the holiday dishes and control what ingredients you use.
4. Socialize during holiday events to avoid overindulgence in food.
A common problem we see in our patients is that they often skip meals before holiday meal time in order to eat what they want during their family dinner. But this doesn’t help them with weight loss or maintenance, because the body goes into starvation mode, holding on to the additional calories. It also provides for an imbalance in the digestive system.
We offer many holistic wellness services aside from chiropractic care, including whole food nutrition education, herbal supplements, and diet help for patients looking for assistance with their new healthy traditions. Contact us today at 734-664-0339 to learn more about creating new healthy traditions for the holidays and beyond.
Yours in Good Health,
Carol Ann Fischer, D.C., N.D.
