Your guide to keeping fit and
staying healthy at Bord na Móna
LESS BEER, MORE CHEER
>> Christmas and the New Year
can be tough times if you're trying
to be 'good'. Just eat and
drink moderately and you'll be
fine!
I
t's very difficult to escape the amount
of food and alcohol that are on offer
over Christmas. From crisps and cakes,
puddings and pies, beer and wine,
it's easy
to graze your way through the festive
season,
accumulating an extra 500 or more
calories
every day.
Although research shows that the
more food
that is available, the more we eat,
you won't
necessarily put on weight if you just
overeat
for a few days. However, in Ireland,
our festive
season starts in mid-December and
lasts until
early January, so there is plenty of
time to do
lasting damage!
When it comes to food, alcohol, and
fizzy
drinks, portion size and portion control
is
everything. Not just because of its
impact on
your waistline but because of the
impact of
so much fat, sugar, and salt on your
health,
particularly if you have diabetes, high
blood
pressure, or heart disease.
You don't have to be a party pooper
- if
you eat before going to a party, you
can still
pick at some favourites. But you won't
overeat
because you're starved! Foods to
enjoy include
vegetable sticks, pretzels, rice crackers,
hummus, beetroot, tzatziki, avocado
dip, sushi,
sandwiches, quiches, fruit salad with
yoghurt.
Foods to avoid include creamy dips,
pies,
sausage rolls, crisps, corn chips, chocolates,
and cream cakes.
On the alcohol front, watch your serving
size. Restaurants often serve wine
in glasses
that are three times the standard
size. Equally,
watch how many times you top up.
It's very
easy to lose count of how much you're
drinking, so it's best to finish one
glass before
accepting a top up. And the best tip
of all:
Alternate your drinks. After each alcoholic
drink, drink a glass of water. That
way, you
will stay hydrated and be able to remember
everything you said and did!
