Diet over the festive season 

Diet and the festive seasonThe festive season is a time when we get together with family and friends, and often have more social gatherings than at other times of the year. Invariably getting together involves eating, and sometimes consuming excessive amounts of food or excessive amounts of unhealthy foods.

Alcohol consumption and the festive season 

Alcohol and the festive seasonThe festive season in Australia is a time when people gather amongst family and friends and many enjoy a few alcoholic drinks around the barbeque or at the beach. However, at this time of year there are many social gatherings and it can be easy to over-indulge.

Exercise during the festive season 

Exercise during the festive seasonOnce festive season parties and celebrations begin, it is all too easy to swap 30 minutes of exercise for an extra drink at the bar. While letting your hair down for a couple of days will not do you any harm, when this extends from early December to well into the New Year it can become a problem.

Sleep and rest over the festive season 

Sleep and rest over the festive seasonMany people will find themselves burnt out after the festive season instead of refreshed and ready for another working year. It is very important to use the time you have off work to revitalise yourself, relax and spend quality time with your loved ones.
