By following a few simple rules, you can manage your health and food so that by new year you can still fit in ‘that dress’ or ‘that special suit’
Do enjoy what you do eat and remember you will feel better if you limit your alcohol, get 8 hours sleep a night and don’t smoke.
Being happy and having fun reduces stress which is great for health, so make sure you enjoy yourself.
Don’t forget to keep active too, dancing is fun and a great way to burn calories and keep active.
Making healthier choices is just that – it doesn’t mean missing out – just eating and drinking in moderation and keeping that work-life balance.
