Christmas is synonymous with sharing, love, fraternity, and solidarity. It is also synonymous with family and friends, socializing, large dinners, and, consequently, overeating. December turns out, by nature, to be a month where more meals are eaten outside the home, where larger amounts of food are eaten, and where sweets, fats, and alcohol are abused more. Thus, it is important that we prepare and help our body to deal with these dietary changes, before, during, and after-parties. Supplementation can then be an ally to keep in mind throughout this month.
Reduce fat absorption and control your appetite for sweets:
Dinners with friends, Christmas lunches at work, snacks with people we haven't seen for a while, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve... who has never looked at their calendar and realized that the month of December is full of social events that most often involve sitting around a table with food? And it's always hard to resist eating one more starter, repeating a little more cod or turkey, and running away from the Christmas sweets table. So what can we do to help minimize the damage?
Solutions such as BioActivo LipoExit Xtra, Depuralina Block, and EasySlim Blocker can be considered to be taken before meals that we know will be more caloric and subject to overeat. With ingredients that help reduce the absorption of fat ingested by the body, regulate intestinal transit, burn fat and stabilize blood glucose levels, they will contribute to reducing your appetite for sweets, maintaining the feeling of satiety longer, and weight maintenance.
Improve digestion and reduce the feeling of fullness:
Who has never come to the end of a lunch or dinner feeling full and feeling that they ate more than they should? And for how many hours do we have this same feeling? A simple way to minimize this malaise is resorting to food supplements that contain enzymes and actives that help in the digestive process. Aquilea Digestive and Solgar Bromelain 300mg are two options that can be used to facilitate the metabolism of fats and proteins, speeding up digestion and reducing the sensation of bloating.
Detoxify and improve intestinal transit:
In order for our body to be able to respond to the excess food that occurs at this time of year, it is essential that the liver, gallbladder, and intestine are in a balanced and healthy state. The normal metabolism and excretion of fats and toxins are essential for general well-being, so it is important to be extra careful at this time of year.
Food supplements containing milk thistle, such as Hepa Action, Advancis Hepa Plus, and Superfoods Milk Thistle, are a great choice to help detoxify the liver and gallbladder. Food supplements made up of probiotics, such as Aquilea Probiomax and Superfoods Proviomax, are essential to improve immunity and intestinal flora, contributing in a beneficial way to improving digestion. Finally, excessive consumption of salt, sugar, and alcohol can lead to fluid and toxin retention, compromising the diuretic function. Draining products, such as DrenaSlim Clean Extra Detox, are oral solutions with a depurative function and that help in the elimination of water and toxins, contributing to the detoxification of the liver.
I hope you have found in this article the solutions that help you enjoy gatherings around the table, without guilt and regrets. And may the beginning of the new year come full of health and well-being!
Happy Hollidays!
