10 tips to enjoy a happy and healthy Christmas

We know that these are days to spend with the family, but that should not mean that they are days in which we abandon good habits and stop taking care of our health. At GSK we propose 10 tips so you can enjoy Christmas without affecting your health :

1- Enjoy yours

The top priority on these dates should be enjoying the warmth of home these days with our loved ones. Sharing this time of year with them is the best gift of all. Seize it.

2- Act sustainably

Waste and waste generation increase considerably during the Christmas season. Abundance is never advisable, although excess and uncontrolled consumption reign during this time in the most developed countries. To take care of our health and that of the environment, we advise you to act responsibly during these dates, both when eating and shopping.

3- Eat when hungry and drink when thirsty

Being at the table is not synonymous with eating but with sharing that time and space with our loved ones. Our advice is that you eat and drink what you want, but avoid excesses.

4- Healthy is also tasty

Meals these days do not have to be copious or far from healthy concepts. Do you have to cook? We recommend you follow this proposal that Cristina Ferrer proposes to us, which will allow you to offer your guests a healthy and totally Christmas menu.

5- Resting is important

Taking care of yourself is your responsibility. Although it may seem difficult during the holidays, you should know that abuse is not good; also what has to do with activity, not just with food. Stay active during the day and sleep at night. It is the best trick and advice to keep your body and mind moving at the same pace.

6- There is no excuse not to exercise

We know that it is very likely that you will spend these days away from home, away from your daily life, but that is not an excuse for not practicing physical exercise. You can choose to walk or, if you prefer, you can exercise through this simple routine that will help you keep your body active and your muscles strong.

7- Reflect on the purposes

will arrive and you will toast with a list of resolutions for 2023. Before the toast, stop and think if they are feasible and you can fulfill them. Burdening yourself with obligations that you are not going to fulfill can end up affecting your emotional state and generating frustration. Look for attainable goals and you will feel fulfilled when you achieve them.

8- Take time

These Christmas days you will dedicate time to family, friends, children, and nephews. You must look for gaps in the day to connect with yourself again and pay attention to yourself. To do this, we suggest you follow the 'Mindfulness Clock', created by Fernando Tobías, specializes in Full and Efficient Attention (Mindfulness).

9- Protect yourself

It's time for personal relationships and this year, more than ever, we want to hug our loved ones. Please act with caution and follow the measures established by the health authorities in each territory and at all times.

10- Share it

If Christmas favors anything, it is solidarity and kindness. There are many people who these days will be far from their family, going through an illness or any other difficulty. During these times, look around you and try to contribute your grain of sand and help those who need it most. We encourage you to collaborate with a local entity that ensures the well-being of those most in need.
