Don’t Let Shopping Bring you Down

June 8, 2011 Health Tip of the Month

At one time or another, we all have become carried away with shopping, letting it become a competitive sport.  Too often, we end up spending more time on our feet, while skipping meals and forgetting to drink water.  After all, it’s easy to forget eating and drinking when you’re obsessed with finding that perfect toy for Billy. With the extended holiday hours and holiday parties, make sure you drink plenty of water and eat balanced meals. If you don’t have time to eat balanced meals, take healthy snacks with you during the day and remember to drink plenty of water! Lastly, make sure you take time to rest and rejuvenate between shopping and parties. Pace yourself! If you don’t it can lead to a weak immune system and leave you susceptible to colds and flues.  Eat well, take your vitamins and get plenty of rest.
In closing, remember that the holiday season is not about the presents, but being present!
