Happy Holidays
 |
As the holiday season approaches, most people are busy planning events with family and friends. You have tons of decisions to make about what to cook, where to meet or who to invite this year. Whether you are facing dilemmas with meals, parties or people, UAMS wants to help you.
Holiday Stress
Many people are stressed the most during the holiday season. At UAMS, we want you to make the holidays an enjoyable time for you to have fun catching up with friends and family. We have several relaxation tips to offer you.
Is this Christmas going to be harder than usual? Did you lose a close family member or friend this year? It might be harder for the seniors in your family. During this time of year, it is especially important to spend time with grandparents or older adults in your family. Help them to avoid getting the holiday blues.
Holiday Meals
Holiday meals can have you eating all your calories for the day with one meal. We want you to be more conscious of how many calories the traditional Thanksgiving foods have. There are many approaches to minimizing the calories and still keeping the flavor and enjoying your favorite dishes.
You can also make a few substitutions in your Thanksgiving meals to help reduce your caloric intake. If you aren't doing the cooking, simply try filling up more on fruits and vegetables or limiting desserts. We can offer you several ways to avoid packing on the pounds during the holiday season.
At UAMS, we hope that you have a wonderful holiday season!
