Tis the season of celebrating with family, friends and holiday treats. It’s good to enjoy this time of year; spending more time with your loved ones, yet, we tend to overindulge a bit and forget to listen to our bodies (that are clearly telling us to stop eating and drinking). Below are a few preventable tips to remember and also what do if the excitement overshadowed and thus the prevention was not heard. Overindulgence Prevention 101 1. Don’t go hungry to a party: Eat…
