Christmas is a time for coming together with family and friends to enjoy company, and of course, lots of food. It\u2019s important that we do not deprive ourselves of hearty Christmas food and the good times and memories it brings, however, there are lots of little tips to prevent indulgences harming your health and your fitness this Christmas and a healthIER Christmas recipe.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Be mindful of your alcohol intake <\/strong>
    \nDon\u2019t drink so much that you can\u2019t remember one of the best days of the year. Pace yourself, drink one glass of water for every glass of alcohol and choose the alcohol you drink wisely.<\/li>\n
  2. Enjoy your vegetables
    \n<\/strong>Christmas dinner is packed with vegetables – sprouts, carrots, parsnips, broccoli\u2026
    \nMake sure you pile these on your plate as they are full of goodness, and importantly, they will fill you up.<\/li>\n
  3. Two meals on Christmas Day is enough
    \n<\/strong>We don\u2019t know about you, but Christmas dinner counts as lunch and dinner for us. If you start the day with a light breakfast and then try and resist snacking until the big meal is served. You will have many more calories to use up on the good stuff!<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t sit down all day
    \n<\/strong>Does anyone else pick a spot on the sofa on Christmas Day and not seem to move much unless food is served? Try and fit in some steps, whether it is taking the dog for a walk, going to the upstairs loo or playing a game of hide and seek!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
