The Holidays are the quintessential hustle and bustle time of year, when our busy schedules, entertaining, and running errands overshadow our efforts to stay healthy. Learn how to stay hale and hardy during the busiest and most decadent time of year.

• Eating healthy during the holidays is one of the biggest struggles people face. And while it’s absurd to assume you just won’t take part in that scrumptious Thanksgiving meal, you can make minor efforts to ensure you eat less. Simply make less room for bad food by drinking water before big meals loaded with calories.
• The cold weather and hectic schedules make us more prone to sickness, so make sure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and stick to a regular sleep schedule.
• Staying in shape can be difficult during the long, cold months – especially if you are not a big fan of the gym! So find unique ways to get in some exercise. Park at the back of the parking lot, play with your kids in the snow, shovel snow, or take the stairs instead of the elevator. Cleaning is another great way to burn calories, so scrub and dust really good to prepare your home for guests.
• Yoga is a great way to relax, stay limber, and stay in shape. Just get a mat and a DVD and you’ll be all set!
• To feel energized and feel your best throughout the holidays, try taking a supplement such as Akavar.
• Variety truly is the spice of life so try something new to get you excited about your healthy lifestyle. Take a cooking class, join a health club, take dancing lessons, or sign up for a yoga class with women your age.
