Holidays bring variety, laughter and fun into our lives, but there are also times when the general excitement only irritates, delicious dishes do not cause appetite at all, and New Year's gifts remain lying alone under the tree.
Ilive wishes you not to frown over trifles and to definitely spend the New Year holidays noisily and cheerfully, and in order not to spoil the long-awaited celebration, suggests that you familiarize yourself with 10 things that should not be allowed to happen in order to maintain a festive mood and peace of mind.
Mood
Drowsiness, increased appetite, weight gain, irritability, a feeling of heaviness in the arms and legs - these are all signs of seasonal depression. The blues can seriously spoil your holiday mood, so do not let yourself be offended by seasonal whims, be active, get up early even on weekends and stick to a healthy diet.
Relationships with loved ones
If your relationships with loved ones or your loved one have been strained lately, it's time to put an end to hostility and misunderstanding. The holidays are just around the corner and you definitely shouldn't celebrate the New Year with grievances in your soul, so try to settle everything that may worry and disturb you.
Health
Take care of your health and try not to get too cold. A stuffy nose and fever are bad companions in the New Year. To boost your body's defenses, eat foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, and wash your hands more often to avoid catching flu and cold viruses.
Heart
You might be surprised to learn that your heart is under increased strain during the holidays. Compared to the summer, there are 35% more cases of hospitalization for heart failure in the winter. One of the main reasons for these rates is respiratory diseases.
Leather
Staying in the cold, heated rooms and hot showers - all this affects the skin in the worst possible way, dehydrating it and leading to a disastrous state. To meet the new year with a shining smile and no less shining skin, do not forget about hydration, both external and internal.
Vitamin D
In winter it gets dark early and dawns late, so it is not surprising that in winter people often experience stress, mood swings, fatigue and insomnia. This is due to a lack of sunlight and, accordingly, vitamin D. Taking supplements, walking in the fresh air and choosing the right foods will help compensate for its deficiency.
Extra pounds
Be careful, because overeating is a frequent companion of the holidays. Of course, on a table where there is no room to swing a cat, it is hard to resist and not try everything that is there and smells so temptingly. Try to focus on less caloric and fatty dishes, so that later you do not fit into your favorite jeans with the help of soap.
Financial worries
Gifts to family and friends, trips, entertainment and numerous purchases make your wallet thinner and thinner, and you are getting more and more nervous? It is best to organize all expenses and write down all the necessary expenses that you will have to make. This way you will be able to avoid stress from surprises when you decide to recalculate your capital again.
