Stay on track and kick off the New Year feeling your best!
The holiday season is in full swing and we know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, run down and stressed. Whether you're attending multiple holiday parties, or trying to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones, the holiday season can be one of the busiest times of the year. This doesn’t leave a lot of time for you to stick to your health and wellness goals. That’s why we’ve shared our top tips for surviving the holiday season so you can start the New Year feeling refreshed and ready for 2022!
With holiday parties and family gatherings, the average American sees a 100% increase in their alcohol consumption between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. The best way to get through the holidays without overdoing it is to stay hydrated and limit your alcohol intake. Hydration has the power to improve your sleep, cognition and mood while keeping your organs functioning properly. To make sure you are getting the cleanest and healthiest water for you and your family, we suggest water filters by Aquasana, known to remove 99% of harmful contaminants including lead, PFOS, chlorine and asbestos.

Between work parties, gift exchanges and cookie exchanges, it’s easy to overindulge throughout the holiday season. Holiday food is meant to be enjoyed! But when we overdo it, it can leave you feeling sluggish and off-track with our health goals. Eating your holiday treats mindfully not only leads to better digestion, but increases your awareness of hunger and fullness. So savor the moment and the food! If you overindulge, apply Organic Peppermint Essential Oil to your stomach or apply to your wrist and inhale to help soothe. Peppermint tea is another great option for soothing an upset stomach too!

Just as every person is an individual, what feeds our soul and nourishes our spirit—and what we need at this moment in our life—looks very different for each person and may change throughout our lives. The challenge is finding and creating habits that fit best with your lifestyle. The great news is that establishing one good habit feeds another. For example, if you exercise more, you are more likely to get better sleep, which will in turn help to clear your mind and regain your focus.
