During the month of December, social gatherings with coworkers, friends and family increase, and with them, dishes of donuts, custard, cookies and other typical Christmas and New Year’s preparations.
The consumption of liquor is also skyrocketing.
For many people it is common to increase the amount of food consumed during the Christmas holidays; But it is important to identify if you eat for pleasure or it is done because of the social pressure of being surrounded by more people during the celebrations.
Its enjoyable?
The doctor Juan Fernando González, a specialist in physical conditioning and nutrition, assures that it is important to ask yourself if you really enjoy what you eat.
«Many people don’t even enjoy Christmas dishes or the dishes that are served at these events, they eat them just because they have the social pressure to be in these spaces, “said González.
That is why the recommendations, although for many they sound like a trite topic, do not go out of style, they are always necessary and can help to avoid excesses and recklessness.
And it is that well many believe that it is only a matter of “gaining weight”, health is important.
González recommends consuming a lot of water and avoiding high consumption of snacks such as peanuts, bananas or cookies; These products contain a high load of calories that are not perceived.
Avoid consuming sauces, it is vital, “these tend to have high loads of sugar and mixtures of processed carbohydrates with fats.”
The specialist in fitness also recommends that during the holidays training is not abandoned.
The dilemma
Many eat ‘without regret’ thinking of balancing that with exercise the following month, and this can lead to frustration because they do not get the expected results.
For this reason, the recommendation is not to exceed the limits of physical activity due to the ‘position of conscience’, and to understand this, you must also have information about what is consumed and how.
And is that according to González, “a single meal is not going to impact a nutritional plan.”
It is important to be under the medical supervision of a professional in the field to prevent difficulties that may impact vital processes in metabolism.
