HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE
10 EASY WAYS TO STRESS-FREE YOUR HOLIDAYS
by Andrea Ramirez

Overeating, over-planning and overspending. The end of the year, which is supposed to be a time of joy, reunion and celebration, ends up being, well, not. Here are 10 simple suggestions to help you truly celebrate and stay sane and healthy through January – and beyond.

1. Watch the sweets. It is easy to overindulge, but after the sugar high comes the sugar blues. Make a conscious effort to moderate your intake. And look for healthier dessert options. A cheap grocery store apple pie is not as satisfying as a home-baked one, full of healthy ingredients and love. If baking is not your thing, buy from a quality shop.
2. Eat with the season. There is a reason why there are so many apples, pumpkins and squashes around. Starchy vegetables and fruits deliver the right kind of carbs to keep you warm and help you cope with sugar cravings. The more satisfying your everyday diet, the less susceptible you’ll be to overeating at celebration dinners.
3. Plan and prioritize. It is always useful – and especially so during the holidays – to spend five minutes in the morning to plan your day. When shopping, always consider traffic (both cars and people) and go on a weekday morning if you can. Or research and buy online. This will also help you pick the better options.
4. Stick to a budget. One of the biggest sources of stress during – and after – the holidays is spending too much. Plan your budget and stick to it no matter what tempts you.
5. Reconsider gift-giving. Buying unnecessary stuff stresses your checkbook and your spirit. Propose alternatives. Have everyone draw a name from a hat, for example, to buy just one gift each, or chip in for a Broadway show and dinner. Make your own gifts or donate to charity in someone else’s name. Recover the value on the things that can’t be bought.
6. Share responsibilities. The holidays may not be the best time to practice your party-planning skills. Involve your family and friends. They will appreciate that more than a frazzled host, and it becomes a bonding experience, nourishing your relationships along with your tummy.
7. Keep your holiday expectations realistic. Most likely your life is not a TV show. Your parents may have an argument in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner. You may not get that iPod for Christmas. Just make the best out of the holidays by being present and enjoying what there is.
8. Consider volunteering. Especially if you are stuck in the city and can’t go home to see your family, volunteering is a great way to invest your holiday energy and avoid depression. Check out www.volunteermatch.org or www.nycares.org for local opportunities.
9. Set aside time alone. Family gatherings can be quite frantic and emotional. There is no better way to decompress than a couple of minutes by yourself. Anytime you start to feel overwhelmed, just quietly leave and take a walk around the block, breathe and recharge.
10. Give yourself something nice. A massage, a manicure, or an appointment with a holistic counselor. Or go for a movie. The best way to be helpful to others is by helping yourself.

If you want to learn more about health and lifestyle secrets to leading an amazing life every day, HLW is here to help. Call 856-985-9789 to schedule your free get acquainted session where you can discuss your individual questions with a certified HLW nutritional health counselor. Best of all, it’s absolutely FREE!

LECTURE DESCRIPTIONS

Cholesterol Care
statin drugs are not the only option if your cholesterol is elevated.

There is no argument that these drugs do effectively lower cholesterol levels but they do not deal with the cause. By addressing the root of the problem you may eliminate the need for medication and avoid many of the side effects that accompany the use of statin drugs. Class includes three easy ways to start safely normalizing cholesterol levels.

Eating For Energy

Tired of being tired? Are you confused about what to eat to feel your best? By tuning in to your body’s needs and emphasizing natural foods in your diet, you can experience increased energy and vitality. We will examine how appropriate food, activity, and life choices can sustain energy levels, stabilize moods and increase productivity.

Eating Healthy On The Go!
People want to eat healthy but lead hectic lives that allow little or no time for cooking.

Find out how to make great choices whether eating at a tavern or at the finest restaurants in town. Simple tips towards good, better, and best nutrition decisions will be explored in an effort to help people create a healthy and enjoyable dining experience. We will also look at how to make your take-out options much more healthy without cramping your style!

Mood Food

Depression, lack of energy, stiff and tense muscles, stress, burn out, crying easily, craving comfort food, worry and sleep disorders may all be signs of deficiency in your diet. Many psychological diagnoses are actually derived from physiological imbalances. Come learn proper nutrition secrets to address the cause of your difficulties not just the symptoms.

Sugar Blues
If your mouth waters at the thought of chocolate or you can’t imagine life without dessert, this class is for you.

Sugar is a major addiction. We’ll discuss ways to overcome cravings that do not involve willpower. Class includes an effective 10-step program.
