Speed weight loss by skipping workouts
No need to hit the gym for hours to melt pounds. Mayo Clinic scientists say just moving a little bit more as you go about your day can prevent holiday weight gain (even if you indulge in an extra 1,000 calories at family gatherings!). Plus, it helps you shed up to 3 pounds a month. Gentle muscle movements burn stored fat without increasing the production of diet-sabotaging hunger hormones. Tip: Meandering through the mall or standing while wrapping gifts both count!
OR TAKE A 'DIET HOLIDAY'!
If you've been watching what you eat for weeks, but the numbers on the scale won't budge, take a break. Doing so can help you reach your happy weight 55% faster. Australian scientists say enjoying occasional twoweek breaks from dieting boosts metabolism by jolting your body out of its routine.
Sip your way to a sharper memory!
Been trying to cut back on coffee or tea? No need! Drinking both will keep your brain young and your memory sharp. The brews are packed with phenolics and flavonoids that keep blood vessels and nerves in the brain healthy and strong. And a study in the journal PLOS Medicine suggests enjoying two to three cups of each daily can cut the risk of memory lapses and dementia by up to 68%.
Diminish discomfort with your favorite holiday flick
