Charleston, SC-- It is hard not to be tempted by all of the homemade foods and cookies around during the holiday season. Cenegenics Carolinas is a scientifically proven age management facility located in Charleston that specializes in weight management as well. They have highlighted some tips for people to follow and foods to eat that will help in the battle of the bulge this Christmas season.
Eat a pear— These fresh and juicy in-season treats contain two important types of antioxidants that are associated with less weight gain over time. They're also high in filling fiber and low in calories, making them a win-win sweet solution for your waistline and appetite.
Have a drink—A drink of green tea, that is. Catechins in green tea may help boost weight loss and diminish body fat. It's possible they also have some kind of beneficial effect on the body's breakdown of fatty acids.
Start counting—While counting calories is always beneficial, there is another secret way to say no to the tempting, and often fattening foods offered this holiday. Before grabbing for a treat, STOP and start counting. If a person mentally counts up to their age, it might fight off the temptation. This will give time to decide if that treat is really worth the calories and fat that comes along with it.
Do some math—This next tip will require a little math, but a lot of benefit. Calculate half of a person’s body weight and drink that many of ounces of water a day. This will keep a person full and hydrated during the holiday season.
Go Slow—Choose slow digesting foods; they will keep the blood sugar steady. Good examples are whole grain cereals with milk, brown rice and peanut butter on wheat bread.
