ENJOY<br />
EVERY MOMENT<br />
The holiday season is just beginning, so let us not forget the reason for our feast-centered<br />
gatherings. Raphael Konforti, Youfit Health Club’s national director of fitness, provides<br />
us with an important reminder to put it all in perspective, “One salad doesn’t make you<br />
healthy just like one delicious [holiday] dinner doesn’t make you unhealthy.” It’s with<br />
this in mind that we arrive at the crux of our findings—enjoying a holiday feast is not<br />
detrimental to overall health.<br />
As Flinchum states, “Indulging on [a holiday feast] will absolutely not ruin your diet.”<br />
Flinchum expresses the most important sentiment as such: “Enjoying the holiday events<br />
and festivities is all part of living a balanced and healthy lifestyle.” So next time you feel<br />
a pang of guilt for loading your plate at a holiday dinner, or someone throws a critical<br />
You’re-going-to-eat-all-that? comment your way, you can answer confidently, with a smile,<br />
“Yes, yes I am.”<br />
Stay present in the moment and enjoy the feast, however you choose to celebrate it. After<br />
all, it’s occasions like this that we cherish as some of our fondest traditions, whether your<br />
holiday feast is a buffet of secret family recipes, ordered prepared from a grocery store, or<br />
picked up curbside as takeout. No matter how your holiday looks, enjoy it and remember<br />
you have permission to feast freely!<br />
FINAL WORD<br />
Our daily diet and exercise routines affect our overall health more greatly than one<br />
day of all-out feasting. Enjoy the moment, stay consistent in exercise, and embrace<br />
the blessing of a holiday feast. As always, attend to individual health conditions as<br />
directed by your doctor. Happy holidays! <strong>SLO</strong> <strong>LIFE</strong>
