1. Balanced diet: Despite the temptations of rich and sweet dishes, try to maintain balance in your diet. Include low in saturated fats proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals for a complete nutritional intake.

2. Hydration: Don't forget to stay well-hydrated, even in winter. Opt for water, herbal teas, or unsweetened infusions to promote good hydration.

3. Portion Control: During festivities, it can be easy to lose track of portion sizes. Try to serve yourself reasonable amounts to avoid digestive discomfort.

4. Smart Choices at celebrations: During festive meals, opt for healthier options. Choose low in saturated fats proteins, vegetables, and salads while limiting the consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods.

5. Healthy snacks: If you need to snack between meals, choose healthy options such as fresh fruits, nuts, or cut vegetables. Avoid snacks that are high in empty calories. If you want a sugary snack, try to add a protein source so that it is more satiating.

6. Stress management: December can be a stressful month with holiday preparations. Practice stress management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to maintain emotional balance, which can also influence your food choices.

7. Physical activity: Don't forget to stay active, even during the winter season. Find activities you enjoy, such as walking, dancing, or yoga, to maintain your level of physical activity.


By adopting these healthy eating habits and staying mindful of your choices, you can fully enjoy December celebrations while taking care of your well-being. Happy holidays and a balanced diet for a healthy December!
