Now it's soon Christmas again - a wonderful time for socialising and pleasant company. But it can also be a health challenge with unhealthy foods, irregular habits and perhaps stress, conflicts and disappointments. So to have a healthy, Ayurvedic and Merry Christmas, here are some tips:
• Try to avoid Christmas stress and performance anxiety. Your loved ones probably would rather want you to be rested, happy and pleasant than the home being well-cleaned, perfectly decorated, or all the accessories in the Christmas food are included.
• Feel free to eat good Christmas food and make sure you eat it in peace and quiet and really enjoy it. But do not overeat and above all try to avoid eating between meals but instead eat hearty meals at regular times.
• Many parts of the Christmas food can be really healthy. Gingerbread cookies made from natural, organic products with raw sugar instead of white sugar are not bad. Rice porridge made from organic, non-homogenised milk is also good. Nuts are nutritious and healthy, especially walnuts and peeled almonds. Dates, figs and raisins are also good, at least if they are soaked or fresh. And there is much else as well.
• You can also replace traditional products with healthier ones. For example, fried slices of swede with mustard are delicious as an alternative to ham.
• The traditional Christmas spices ginger, cloves, cinnamon, saffron etc., are not only good in gingerbread. They are also perfect in stews, porridge, soups etc. They help to make food more digestible and strengthen the body's functions.
• Drink warm water between meals; it facilitates digestion.
• Also, try to bring in some spirituality. Originally, Christmas is actually a religious holiday, almost forgotten in commercialism, food and Christmas presents.
• Take care of yourself and your loved ones, spread kindness, joy, peace and light.
Wishing you an absolutely wonderful Christmas
