Holiday Party Health Tips from Thorburn Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Burbank, California

Dec. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- It’s the time of year for spending time with friends and family and having some fun at holiday parties. Thorburn Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Burbank, California has put together some healthy eating and drinking tips for you to use at holiday get-togethers.

1. Engage in some good physical activity: take nice brisk walks with your loved ones and enjoy their company in the holiday season. Walks are great after a meal as they help digestion.

2, Don't go to a party hungry: we often eat faster and more when we are hungry - therefore eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day of the party.

3. Be a taster: A spoonful or two is usually enough. It's the first bite or two that gives us the most pleasure. Enjoy everything, say no to nothing – just do it all in moderation.

4. Cinnamon balances blood sugar and reduces the ill effects of sweet foods. Stir a little into tea and drink as needed.

5. Limit high fat items such as fried food, cream-based soup, pies, salami, sausage, pastries and egg nog.

6. Drink cider, fruit juices, tea and water and try to limit the number of alcoholic drinks. If you do drink too much and suffer the next day, drink as much water as you possibly can and eat lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and salads.

Enjoy the holiday season!
