Halloween Candy, Pumpkin Pie, Christmas Cookies

The holidays are an adventure if you are trying to be healthy. This holiday season I challenge you to do your best. I am not saying that you can’t have anything “good”, those things that you love to have this time of year. Limit your intake of the thing that aren’t very good for you.

If you go into the holidays thinking that you have to be perfect, chances are good that you will give in to something. Don’t let that decision turn into, I’ll get back on track in January and anything goes until then.

Remember the original goal: “By making 1 small change each week that you incorporate into your lifestyle, you can make a huge improvement in your health, without being so overwhelmed that you fall off the "health wagon".”

Give yourself permission to have a piece of Halloween candy every once in a while, a small piece of pumpkin pie, or one of your favorite Christmas cookies. Just don’t let 1 turn into 5, 10, 20.

Health activities are also difficult this time of year with holiday shopping, holiday parties, traveling, and getting dark at 5pm. Do your best to stay on track. Plan you trips to your Chiropractor, your gym trips, etc. around your schedule so that way you stay on track, inspite of your busy schedule.

To keep your body’s immune system at it’s peak, do your best to keep on track with the basics. Do your best to eat good, as much as possible. Make sure to drink a lot of water. Also make sure to get lots of sleep.

You can have a happy and healthy holiday season!
