How to Return to Healthy Eating After Christmas and New Year's Holidays

The holiday season is over, along with the festive feasts full of salads, sweets, and calorie-rich dishes. Now is the perfect time to return to a balanced diet to feel lighter, more energetic, and improve overall well-being. We've prepared some helpful tips and recipes to make this transition smooth and enjoyable.

Tips for Restoring Healthy Eating Habits:

1. Start small: Don’t try to drastically cut calories or eliminate entire food groups. Begin by adding more vegetables, greens, and whole grains to your diet.

2. Stay hydrated: After indulging, your body needs proper hydration. A glass of water before meals can also help reduce hunger.

3. Reduce sugar and processed foods: Swap sweets for natural desserts like fruits or berries.

5. Plan your meals: Create a weekly menu to avoid impulsive decisions and unhealthy food choices.
