Holiday Health Hacks With Harriet From Harriet Well Nutrition
In our latest episode, Harriet and I delve into the myriad ways to stay healthy and joyful throughout the festive season. We advocate for a positive approach to nourishment, focusing on what to incorporate into your diet instead of what to eliminate.
Understanding the benefits of embracing hunger is another key point we discuss, along with the crucial aspect of making your well-being a priority and ensuring you stay well-hydrated.
Mindfulness is a recurring theme in our conversation, especially when it comes to eating. We talk about the importance of plating your food and tuning into your hunger and fullness signals. This approach allows you to fully savor and celebrate the holiday treats without losing sight of your body's cues.
We wrap up the conversation by reinforcing the need to adhere to feel-good daily practices and routines, even amidst the holiday chaos.
Moreover, Harriet and I explore tactics for upholding a balanced lifestyle during these festive times. We stress the significance of establishing wholesome routines, being conscious of our movement, listening to our bodies, managing stress without resorting to food, and practicing self-compassion.
We encourage everyone to wholeheartedly enjoy the holidays and resist the temptation to dismiss healthy habits with the new year just around the corner. Ultimately, we aim to equip you with actionable advice and a positive outlook to skillfully navigate the holiday season's delights and challenges.
