'Tis the season for...holiday celebrations! With family gatherings, corporate parties, and festive events just around the corner, it’s time to get into the holiday spirit. But let's be honest—staying on track with health goals during these events isn’t always easy. From indulgent treats to tempting dishes, holiday parties can test even the most dedicated. We’ve got your back. Here are our favorite ways to stay on track while you celebrate.
Don’t drink on an empty stomach:
- We cannot stress enough the importance of having something healthy in your stomach before you pick up an alcoholic beverage. Our favorite way to prevent drinks from going straight to your head is to throw back a protein-packed smoothie before you go out. If you can’t plan ahead, we recommend eating a small appetizer before ordering your first drink.
Alkalize:
- As you head into party season, ensure your SWW® Alkalize is well stocked. We recommend taking a sachet before AND after an evening of indulging in rich foods and alcoholic beverages.
Mineralize before bed:
- If you want to prevent a hangover or feeling groggy when you wake up, your SWW® Restore Minerals will become your best friend. This powerful formula will help your body reset while you rest to be ready to hit the ground running the following day.
Hydrate:
- This is a non-negotiable, but we want to stress the importance of prioritizing your water intake, especially during festive times. Keep your water bottle filled and near you throughout the day before you head to your social event so you arrive feeling refreshed. If you partake in alcoholic beverages, chase each drink with a full glass of water. Pro tip: use some pink Himalayan salt in your afternoon water to boost your body’s ability to absorb hydration.
Focus on veggies and protein:
- A holiday party spread is a minefield of temptations. We recommend filling your plate with as many sources of veggies and proteins as possible to reduce the space available for less healthy choices.
Dress your carbs:
- Holiday carbs are bound to happen. Always combine your carbs with protein, fat, and/or fiber to prevent a blood sugar spike. These nutrients slow down the digestion of carbs, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels and providing a more sustained energy source.
