The holiday season is a time for celebration and indulgence. But it can also be a time when healthy eating habits are on a break for sometime. The temptation and urge to overindulge on rich, high-calorie foods is stronger during holidays. The busy pace of the season can make it tough to find time for regular exercise. However, with a little planning and discipline, it is possible to enjoy the festivities without sacrificing your health and fitness.

On the same, Ketan Mavinkurve, Founder & CEO of the Alpha Coach, said, "To stay on track, make healthy choices, when it comes to food and incorporate movement into your daily routine. Stay active, and remember that moderation is key. Additionally, make sure to get enough sleep, practice stress-reducing activities, and focus on making healthy choices most of the time."

c. Avoid stress eating. The holidays can be stressful with all the planning and parties, but try not to use food as a way to cope. Find other outlets for stress relief, such as exercise, reading, or spending time with loved ones.
