Healthy Diet Tips In Celebrating The Holiday Season
Some practical healthy diet tips in celebrating the holiday season is my Christmas gift to all of you because lots of people are more prone to diseases during and after holiday season due to weak immune system because of simply forgetting to eat what their body needs. How come? Most of the people eat lots of foods, particularly sweet ones and those that are made from processed ingredients as well.
When I was young, my mom always remind me and my siblings not to take in so much of sweet food and drinks to avoid tonsillitis. And, to drink plenty of water after we eat or drink something sweet. It has been a big “why” to me that time but now I realized that she has a point. Too much sweets could weaken the immune system’s activity. Our tonsils are the first line of defense that control the entrance of army of germs. When we take in too much of sweet food and, or drinks, it overworks the tonsils causing them to be inflamed.
I noticed that during Christmas season most people fail to eat vegetables which is so important to our health. Thus, I want to share to you a great combination of fresh vegetable juices that are not just palatable to taste but best to the immune system and health in general. You must not add sugar or any kind of sweetener and milk to it. For every 10 oz of freshly extracted carrot juice, you just need to add 3 oz of extracted beet juice and 3 oz of cucumber juice. So simple to prepare, right?
Following a healthy lifestyle is the best way to attain wellness. It does not mean that because you are health conscious person you can no longer celebrate the holiday season with gladness through gatherings with friends and loved ones. Instead of preparing sweet and processed foods, why not shift to healthy ones? Lessen some sweet foods and drinks, and serve more of fresh fruits and extracted fruits or vegetable juices instead. Fresh fruits and vegetables boosts the immune system rather than suppressing it. If you are the one who is invited, better choose the food to eat and remember to drink lots of plain water after.
