As we find ourselves immersed in the festive cheer between Christmas and New Year, it’s a time filled with joy, celebration and indulgence.
While we all deserve to enjoy this magical season, it’s also important to keep our health and wellness in check. Here at Lily & Loaf we’re committed to helping you maintain your well-being during this period and beyond.
Embrace Balance, Not Restriction
First and foremost, remember that balance is key. It’s perfectly fine to indulge in your favourite treats, but be mindful of maintaining a balanced diet. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains alongside the festive meals. This doesn’t mean you have to skip the cakes and biscuits – just enjoy them in moderation!
Stay Hydrated
With the excitement of the season, it’s easy to forget about hydration. Water plays a crucial role in our overall health, aiding digestion, and even helping to manage weight. Ensure you’re drinking enough water every day, and if you find plain water a bit dull, try infusing adding a dash of Liquid Chlorophyll.
Keep Moving
While it’s tempting to stay curled up indoors watching festive films, physical activity is essential. It’s not just about burning calories; exercise helps reduce stress, improves mood, and boosts energy levels – something we all need during this time of year. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a dance party in your living room, find an activity that you enjoy and get stuck in!
Support Your Immune System
This time of year can be challenging for our immune systems. To give your body an extra edge, continue taking your supplements regularly. Our Immunity range is designed to support immune health, providing essential vitamins and minerals that your body might need more of during this time.
Rest and Rejuvenate
Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep. Sleep is when our bodies repair and rejuvenate, so aim for 7-9 hours per night. If you find yourself struggling with sleep, consider incorporating a relaxing bedtime routine or using supplements that promote sleep, such as 5-HTP.
Reflect & Set Intentions
As we approach the New Year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year ahead. Whether it’s committing to a healthier lifestyle, practising more self-care, or setting new fitness goals, use this time to think about what you want to achieve and how we can support you in those endeavours.
