✨ Easy Holiday Health Tips from Healthynow✨

🍷 Careful with the cocktailsFestive drinks can be fun, but don't forget: alcohol disrupts sleep quality—especially that deep, restorative sleep your mood, metabolism, and energy depend on. So enjoy mindfully, don’t forget to hydrate, and maybe swap a drink for the mocktail below.

🍽 Try the 80/20 approachInstead of “being good” or “being bad,” just aim for balance: 80% real, nourishing food… 20% holiday magic. This keeps everything enjoyable, flexible and way less stressful.

❄️ Let the sun kiss your face (even if it’s cold!)A few minutes of winter sun can lift your mood, balance your circadian rhythm, and help you feel grounded. Bundle up and soak it in.

🫐 Add a spoonful of elderberry goodnessElderberry syrup is an awesome antioxidant that will supercharge your immune system especially now during flu season. Start using it now in your smoothies, in your sparkling water, over yogurt or just a yummy spoonful throughout the cold and flu season.

💛 Prioritize tiny pockets of “me-time”Even five minutes counts. Sip tea. Sit quietly. Read a few pages of a book. Step outside and breathe. Stolen bits of time just for yourself can keep you grounded when life gets crazy.

🍪 Don’t deny yourself the real treats, with moderationSay yes to the homemade cookies baked with love and skip the processed stuff that never truly satisfies.

The holidays don’t have to be an all-or-nothing season. You can enjoy the food, fun, and  memories—while still taking care of yourself in small, meaningful ways.
