holiday seasons + parties + foods = 3 kg

Holiday season has just started. Parties here and there are being held. When we speak of parties, foods abound--high calorie foods for that matter.

The foregoing facts made the study in the US of America reveals that after the holiday seasons most of the Americans gain at least 3 kilograms (approximately 7 lbs.).

I am not so sure if we Filipinos gain more or less kilograms after the holiday season than the Americans. Filipinos love to eat all year round.

I have listed below some points on how to avoid gaining extra kilos due to partying all throughout the holiday season:

1. Enjoy the fellowship with friends and new found friends at parties more than the food. Keep your food intake in moderation.

2. Drink more water. Research shows that water is one of the major catalyst for losing weight.

3. Keep a healthy sleeping habit.

4. Share your party spare foods to the less fortunate than bringing it home.

5. Exercise. If you have started this habit, keep it even on this holiday season. If you have not started to exercise, it is advisable that you join with friends and set a regular schedule to exercise.

6. Gift yourself with exercise equipment or apparel. These items must keep you safe while making you look and feel good while exercising.

7. Maintain a stress free life by keeping your daily devotional time with the Lord. Keep the word of God your everyday desserts. Please keep note that "STRESSED" spelled backwards is "DESSERTS".

Hope you enjoy the holiday season and stay fit.
