Christmas is a time for enjoying yourself but how can we keep the balance to stay healthy?
Erin O'Hara joins Francesca Rudkin to discuss how keeping a little balance can make all the difference in how you feel - and the importance of supporting your gut health.
Tips to keep the balance: 
Get rid of the ‘all-or-nothing’ approach. Everything in moderation 
Limit Alcohol intake  
Eat your veggies and protein first before indulging in sweets and treats 
Eat sugar in moderation 
Try not to skip meals and then overeat at one meal  
Hydration - we can overeat when we are dehydrated. 
Quality sleep - sugar cravings are worse when we are sleep deprived. 
Keep up with some Exercise - create a fitness schedule for the holidays  
A few days of overindulgence won't put you off track. When not at social gatherings try to get back to some healthy meals to keep the balance.
