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>
