TOP 5 WAYS TO KEEP YOU SMILING THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS

Keep your spirits bright this holiday season and into the new year with these five easy tips:

1. Take time to unwind. The holidays can be stressful. Set aside time to relax with your loved ones, and make sure you also have some quiet time to yourself.

2. Keep moving. Keep moving during the holidays to relieve stress and halt weight gain. Find ways to move
your body more throughout the day. Take regular walks with friends and family or enroll in a yoga class to relieve stress.

3. Don't try to lose weight or stick to a restrictive diet this holiday season. If you enjoy your favorite
foods in smaller portions, you’ll feel satisfied, not deprived. Think “hara hachi bu” or stop eating when you’re 80% full.

4. Drink a glass of red wine with friends. Moderate wine consumption is believed to lower the risk of
heart disease and reduce stress levels. Socializing with friends during the holidays will help to keep your spirits bright.

5. Laugh more. Laughing burns calories, reduces stress, and means you are enjoying the company of your
loved ones during the holidays.
