You absolutely deserve to enjoy every moment as it comes just once a year. But by setting a few boundaries, you can enjoy the season even more by staying healthy and active.It is all about maintaining the balance by enjoying the festivities without overindulgence, savouring the food without guilt and celebrating without feeling drained.&nbsp;What boundaries can you set?&nbsp;<h3>1. Indulge in Treats, Mindfully</h3>Ayurveda states that mindful eating helps in better digestion and absorption of nutrients, and improves your overall well being.<ul><li>Avoid eating till you are completely full. Instead, stop just before you reach that level of fullness.</li><li>Focus on the flavours and richness of the food on your plate – avoid looking at the TV or scrolling through your phone while eating.</li><li>Do not eat your food in a hurry or too slowly or while talking or laughing.</li><li>Consume your food when it is still warm. This helps in better digestion.</li></ul><h3>2. Prioritise Sleep</h3>Do not miss out on the festivities – prioritising your sleep can give your body the rest it requires and keep you refreshed and energised the following day.&nbsp;<h3>3. Manage Stress</h3>With all your friends and family coming together for the holiday season, organising everything can sometimes lead to stress. However, it can be managed by practising <a href="https://www.nirvahealth.com/blog/manage-stress-healthier-mind-and-body-techniques-and-tips">stress-relieving techniques</a> like breathing exercises, yoga and meditation.&nbsp;<h2>Tip 2: Nourish Your Body</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/nourish_your_body_b8a311af3f.jpg" alt="nourish your body.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_nourish_your_body_b8a311af3f.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_nourish_your_body_b8a311af3f.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Even while indulging in all the delicious and flavourful foods during the holiday season, it is essential to keep your body nourished.

Your body requires quality sleep to repair the tissues, maintain immunity, clear the mind, regulate your mood and balance the hormones.According to Ayurvedic principles, sleep is one of the three pillars that support life. The ideal time to wake up is before sunrise, around 4 AM to 6 AM, and about bedtime, try not to stay up past 10 PM.Your body’s natural internal clock (<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11584554/">circadian rhythm</a>) should align with the day and night in nature. This keeps your Doshas (body bioenergies) balanced and prevents illnesses.<h2>Tip 7: Mindful Movement</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg" alt="Tip 7_ Mindful Movement.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Holiday weight gain is a common concern in many adults, leaving you feeling guilty with every bite of the delicious holiday treats.
