MINDFUL EATING
Christmas in Nigeria is usually marked with a variety of delectable dishes and treats and it can be difficult to resist the temptation to overindulge. Practicing mindful eating can help. Incorporate colourful fruits and vegetables into your meals to balance nutrition and support overall well-being.
ENGAGE IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Take advantage of the festive season to engage in outdoor activities. Whether it’s playing games, going for a walk, or participating in community events, staying active is essential for physical and mental well-being.
MODERATE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
Alcohol often accompanies Christmas celebrations, but it’s important to consume it in moderation. Excessive alcohol intake can have negative effects on health.
PRIORITISE REST
The holiday season can be hectic, with preparations, travel, and gatherings. It’s crucial to prioritize rest to recharge your body and mind.
STAY ON TOP OF HYGIENE
We know you know, but we’ll say it anyway: Wash your hands and wash them frequently. Consider changing your clothes after being in crowded public spaces and taking your shower at the end of the day instead of the beginning to keep outside germs to a minimum inside your home.
HYDRATING
From hot chocolate to hot toddies, apple cider to sodas, the holidays are filled with beverages that aren’t water. Be sure to enjoy those but remember how important it is to stay hydrated as well.
STAYING PRESENT
The positive effects of gratitude are very real and so attainable. Even when things aren’t perfect you can always find something to be grateful for.
