It’s the time of the year we attend parties, family and
office gatherings with lots of food. It’s hard to resist good food and yet
gaining weight seems to be unavoidable. Is this true? Let’s share some tips
here to help prevent weight gain.
There are a few practical tips to share. Have a light snack
before you go for the party (e.g. an apple, a banana or a glass of healthy
& yummy
protein
shake). Never go to a party hungry. Pick up a small plate instead of a big
one. For beverages, choose a glass of wine, or beer, carbonated water instead
of sweetened or high fat drinks.
To minimize food intolerance, bloating or indigestion after
partying is also crucial to keep our digestive system healthy. Pace yourself,
chew more before swallowing all help with digestion. Supplementing with a full
spectrum of
digestive
enzymes will aid in this process. For those who have food intolerance from
complex carbohydrates (e.g. beans, yams, sweet potatoes), and lactose, enzymes
consisted of efficacious dosage of
alpha-
& beta-galactosidase and lactase will be beneficial in such occasion.
Proper detoxification is also a key component to help
reducing the chance of gaining weight.
Chlorella and
spirulina support body’s natural cleaning processes in key elimination
systems such as the bowel, liver, and blood.
Zeolite also
helps to rid the heavy metals inside our body. All these toxins, wastes and
free radicals adds up the ‘weight’.
Maintaining a good environment in our gut would help to get
rid of the ‘gunk’ in our body. Adding a good quality multiple strains of good
bacteria (
probiotics)
also helps to maintain a waistline.
The efficiency of metabolizing carbohydrates and fat cannot
be overseen. Nutrient such as
vitamin
B12 is one of the important cofactors in the metabolism process.
Also, remember to focus on socializing instead on food.
Holiday seasons meant to share happiness and the opportunity to catch up with
our families and friends.
Happy holidays!
