Which is more important for your health:  A good diet or regular exercise?

Here’s to a happy, fun-filled and healthy 2012 from CherryFlex !

The Holidays are here! The hustle, bustle, tinsel and excitement have returned. Along with all this frivolity comes the parties, socializing and celebrating.

Eating right and exercising regularly between Thanksgiving and New Year’s often go on hiatus, and catching up and finding your groove again can take weeks, months….or longer. So what’s the short answer to planning a happy and healthy Holiday Season?

It’s all about making the right choices and finding the balance. See if you might be able to use some of these pointers from Athletico.com’s physical therapists and fitness trainers.

• Feasting mania: whether you’re the cook or the invited guest, make or bring a dish that fits your palette and everyday diet – and we aren’t talking baked jams with marshmallow topping. Cut-back on the sugar and the salt and look for recipes that feature fresh vegetables and low fat ingredients.
• When it’s time to romp in the snow, play a game of tag with the kids – join in! Don’t be left on the couch when you could be sledding, hiking or doing anything but ‘acting your age.’
• Pitch in if you are the invited houseguest. Shoveling snow, housework, cooking or walking the dog all burn calories.

Other ideas to beat the bloats of over-eating and inactivity:

• Drink water
• Enter a local 5 or 10K event where you can walk or run
• Have healthy snacks handy and eat them before the party begins
• Wake up early and walk, then do it again right before bedtime

Staying active and trying to maintain a healthier diet means more energy, helps lower stress and burns off those unwanted calories. It also melts away the guilt for a happier holiday.
