Staying Healthy During the Holidays

Tips for Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain

As the holiday season approaches, it's easy to get caught up in indulgent foods and drinks. However, this time of year can be particularly challenging for those trying to maintain a healthy weight. At Baptist Health Little Rock, we want to help you stay on track with some simple tips for avoiding holiday weight gain.

First and foremost, focus on balance. It's okay to indulge every now and then, but try not to make it a habit. Instead, prioritize nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Staying Active During the Holidays

It's easy to get stuck in a rut during the holidays, especially when it comes to exercise. Between parties, family gatherings, and other social events, it can be tough to find time for physical activity.

However, staying active is crucial for both mental and physical health. At Baptist Health Little Rock, we encourage you to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that bring you joy.

Managing Stress During the Holidays

The holiday season can be incredibly stressful, especially for those who are hosting family gatherings or dealing with difficult relatives.

At Baptist Health Little Rock, we want to help you manage your stress levels. Take a few minutes each day to practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to clear your mind and reduce anxiety.
