Surviving the Holidays

The holiday season can wreak havoc on any woman, but those of us with health concerns need to be extra careful this time of year. With holiday parties, offices full of junk food, traditional foods and well-meaning friends and family pressuring us to let our diets go for holidays. Don’t forget emotional stress of gifts, parties and family gatherings. As cold weather hits our bodies often crave more calories and more carbohydrates. Shorter days can lead to more munching to maintain energy levels and brighten moods. Add in scheduling crunch so many of us experience this time of year and this time of year can be hard on your health.

Here are some pointers that can help you survive season without losing battle:

* Plan ahead and make sure you have plenty of healthy foods on hand. Slip carrot sticks, protein bars, nuts, cheese or other healthy choices into your purse before you leave house. Carrying good snacks with you can help you withstand urge to binge on mall foods while shopping or giving in to candy that seems to sprout in every office this time of year.

* Choose wisely when you snack. Gravitate towards veggie trays and nut dishes rather than cookies. Choose a splash of cranberry juice in water, lemon in water, or a diet soda instead of sugary drinks. One good chocolate, savored, can curb your desire to binge on other sweets. Chocolate is also absorbed more slowly than simpler carbs because it has more fat in it.
