Gaining weight is one of the biggest let-downs of the holiday season. With all the excitement, tight schedules and even stress, it can be frustrating to step out on the other side of the holidays up to five pounds heavier than you were at the beginning.
Equally, after spending so much time indoors with lots of people, drinking booze and not quite reaching our ideal nutrition, that extra weight can be made worse with a cold or flu. Getting sick at this time of year can feel inevitable. That said, by taking the right steps, you’ll be able to prevent catching certain illnesses or at least reduce their length and severity if they happen.
