Watch your portions
Let’s be honest, holiday feasts are hard to resist! But remember, eating in moderation is key.
If you’re managing diabetes, keep an eye on your carbohydrate intake. Enjoy those festive treats but try smaller portions and balance them with healthier choices. And if you’re on Mounjaro, don’t forget your daily dose, it can help manage your blood sugar levels during the holiday celebrations.
Stay Active
Incorporate some movement into your holiday plans. Whether it’s a stroll with family after dinner or a fun dance-off in the living room, staying active helps keep your energy levels up.
For those using medications like Wegovy for weight management, which is specifically designed for weight management by helping regulate appetite, staying active can enhance the benefits.
Adding even small bursts of movement can support your progress and make holiday celebrations even more enjoyable.
Be mindful of what you eat
Practicing moderation can help maintain your health during this indulgent season. If you’re taking Eliquis, a medication that helps prevent blood clots, it’s important to be aware that certain foods, particularly those high in vitamin K, can affect its effectiveness.
Keep Hydrated
With all the holiday cheer in the form of cocktails and rich foods, don’t forget to drink plenty of water.
Staying hydrated helps curb cravings and keeps your energy levels steady, making it easier to enjoy those holiday goodies without going overboard.

Don’t Skip Meals
It might be tempting to skip meals to save room for the big feast, but this strategy often backfires. Stick to your regular eating schedule and include healthy snacks to avoid blood sugar spikes and keep your energy steady throughout the day.
Prioritize Sleep
Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours each night to help keep your immune system strong and your mood balanced.
Limit Stress
The holidays can be hectic, so don’t forget to take a breather. Whether it’s a few deep breaths, some light yoga, or simply enjoying a quiet moment, managing stress is key to staying healthy and happy.
Stay Connected
Reach out to family and friends, whether in person or virtually. Sharing laughter and good times can lift your spirits and make the season even more joyful.

By following these tips and being mindful of your health, you can enjoy the holidays without compromising your well-being.
