The holidays are here, and with them come oh-so-many tasty temptations. It’s all too easy for our wellness and weight management goals to slide like Santa down the chimney. If your health goals often take a sleigh ride into next year, we’ve got just the thing: science-backed wellness tips and products that help you enjoy every moment without any holiday setbacks.
The “Holiday No” Box
Ever find yourself saying “yes” to every holiday treat even when your brain and body are screaming “no”? Try this: Reclaim control by creating your own “Holiday No” box, which can help you say “no” to the sweets.
Tip: Every time you say “no” to something you don’t truly want, write it down and put it in the box. At the end of the season, reward yourself for staying true to your goals! And to top it off, learning to say “no” can be the sweetest gift you give yourself.
Product to Help: Slenderiiz® Drops. These drops help you kick cravings to the curb and support your weight management. They’re perfect for when you need a little metabolism boost before and after the holiday hustle.
The Power of a Silent Night
“I’ll catch up on sleep later!” We’ve all said it. But, turns out, research says that’s not how it works. A study in Current Biology found that catch-up sleep doesn’t reverse the metabolic disruptions caused by sleep loss.1
Tip: Switch off screens at least an hour before bedtime because the blue light suppresses your brain’s production of melatonin, which makes it difficult for many people to fall asleep.2 Incorporating this simple tip into your routine can help improve the quality of your rest and, in turn, keep your metabolism functioning well.
Product to Help: Renew. If less screen time isn’t cutting it, Renew can help. It’s expertly formulated to trigger human growth hormone production, which is shown to promote deeper, more restorative sleep, plus reduce body fat.*
Gift Yourself a Glow-Up
‘Tis the season of giving, so don’t forget to treat yourself, too. Giving your skin and body some TLC can be just the pick-me-up you need to stay feeling great. No, really. Engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to reduce stress and increase happiness!3
Tip: Treat yourself to a holiday-themed DIY spa night — think peppermint body scrubs, a bubble bath, calming music and an essential oil diffuser with a holiday scent that makes you feel like you’re in a winter wonderland. It’s a great way to de-stress!
Products to Help: PureNourish™ + Beauty Boost™. This plant-based combo gives your body the nutrients it needs (without lots of calories) to look and feel your best. With the 18 g of protein in PureNourish and the skin benefits of Beauty Boost, you can enjoy that peppermint body scrub without getting any candy cane cravings. Now, that’s beautiful!
Shake Off the Snickerdoodles
Tempted by the cookie platter? Or got your eyes on the pies? Staying ahead of sugary cravings can feel like an uphill battle.
Tip: Hydration is key — sometimes, our yearning for sugar is just our body’s way of asking for a glass of water. Studies indicate that dehydration can lead to an increased desire for sugar.4 But if you’ve still got a sweet tooth after hydrating, check out our better-for-you pie recipes that fit within our Body Balance System.
Product to Help: Co.Lab™ Sugar Stop. This product is a life-changer if you’re worried about those holiday temptations. Sugar Stop’s four active ingredients have been shown in clinical studies to help block carbohydrate absorption to prevent added weight gain and keep you feeling full and satisfied.*
Gingerbread Crunch Time
We all love those gingerbread men, but what if your holiday ginger fix could also boost your wellness?
Tip: Add some fresh ginger to your snacks or smoothies, sip ginger tea or sprinkle it into your entrees. It’s great for digestion and helps curb bloating after big holiday meals.5
Product to Help: Probiotiix™. Just like ginger, probiotics are your gut’s BFF! They help keep everything moving smoothly (literally). Probiotiix has 15 different strains of broad-spectrum probiotics, plus prebiotics, to help your digestive system stay on track. Take one capsule, 1-2 hours before or after eating, so you can enjoy the holiday meals without the uncomfortable aftermath.*
