The festive time of the year, cold weather and short light periods often mean we seek comfort food, binge eating and having a drink with not really much active movement. That can mean that our immune system is compromised. The question is how to balance out our festive indulgences with healthy habits?
As I mentioned before in class, even a 5 min Sun Salutation sequence in the morning can help you in creating heat, stretching and strengthening tissues, and overall kick starting your mornings on a positive note.
As for healthy eating habits, you might be interested in what Dr. Michael McGregor does with his team of volunteers in https://nutritionfacts.org/
