Staying Healthy Through the Holidays
Staying Healthy Through the Holidays
In this week’s Motivation, Dr. Palermo reminds us that the holiday rush doesn’t have to derail your health.
Did you know that up to 75% of annual weight gain happens during the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s?
It’s a busy, joyful time, but also one that challenges even our best routines.
The good news: staying on track is absolutely possible.
Focus on the Foundations
You don’t need to overhaul your routine to feel your best this season. Consistency with a few key habits can make all the difference:
- Move daily. Even short walks or quick workouts help regulate energy, mood, and metabolism.
- Prioritize protein. A balanced plate supports blood sugar and keeps you satisfied longer.
- Sleep well. Rest is essential for hormone balance, recovery, and resilience.
- Mind your alcohol intake. Staying mindful helps reduce empty calories and preserve good sleep quality.
Small Choices, Big Impact
Health isn’t built in a day; it’s built through small, consistent decisions made every day. By keeping your foundation strong, you can enjoy the celebrations, connect with loved ones, and enter the new year feeling your best.
Here’s to a healthy, balanced holiday season from all of us at Thrive!
