Heart Healthy Holidays
It is the most wonderful time of the year. Filled with family, loved ones, our favorite foods and an endless agenda of social gatherings. However, this time of the year can be especially tough on our bodies and overall health. We eat an excess of rich foods, alcohol, and add in the drop in temperatures and rise in illness; The most wonderful time of year can take a real toll on your heart health. Here are a few of our most tried and true tips to stay healthy this holiday season, without missing out on a thing!
Start your mornings with a healthy breakfast!
We have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. On days where you know you have a social gathering full of rich foods, don't stress and try to starve yourself by avoiding your favorite foods. Instead, start your day with a full healthy breakfast, like egg whites and oatmeal. This will help keep you full and satisfied throughout the day. You will be less likely to binge on all the rich foods later.
Stay Active!
It is a natural response to want to nap the day away after a large meal and a busy morning in the kitchen. However your body and heart will feel so much better by just taking the time to move. Break up your walks and activity throughout the day! Take a 10 minute brisk walk in the morning, again right before you eat and offer to run any last minute errands. It will help with digestion, your energy and overall stress relief!
Limit your alcohol intake
Binge drinking can lead to a large variety of health issues as well as the dreaded holiday weight gain. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends one-to-two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. Along with adding on excess calories to your meal, drinking more alcohol can raise the levels of fat in the blood, lead to high blood pressure, and even heart failure. By replacing just one drink with water, you’ll save at least 100 calories and help yourself stay hydrated.
Be in the moment and ENJOY!
Try not to let the dreaded holiday stress get to you. Remember you are surrounded by loved ones, and everything will work out. If you are hosting a social event, don't be afraid to delegate and ask for some help. If you are a guest offer to bring a healthy dish that you enjoy eating! It is the most wonderful time of the year for a reason. Take a step back, find some peace and quiet (even if only for a few seconds) and reflect on the things you are most thankful for this year. Your body will thank you!
Happy Holidays from Dr. Katapadi and everyone here at Ohio Heart Group!
