Holiday Season Wellness with OLLY

Wellness With OLLY

With fall in full swing and the holidays rapidly approaching, today’s post is both timely and relevant. I’m excited to be partnering with OLLY again to share some of my go-to wellness tips to stay healthy and grounded over the holidays. It feels like once October hits, it’s full-on madness and a sprint to the end of the year. 

The other day I had someone remind me we have only a little over two months left of this decade and my brain went into full-on panic mode. I feel like it was 1999 just a few days ago? Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is it’s totally normal to feel frazzled and all over the place, but that doesn’t mean at the expense of your mental or physical health. Being sick, burned out, tired, stressed – none of these are appealing during what should be the most exciting time of the year! 

During the holiday season, I like to ramp up my wellness routine to make sure I’m taking all of the possible steps I can to stay healthy and stress-free.

Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays

+ Catch more zzz’s

One of the biggest culprits of health problems is lack of sleep. I’m currently reading Why We Sleep and it’s really opened my eyes to how important sleep is. Almost everyone needs at least 7 hours of sleep, and it’s absolutely critical for mental and physical health. Not getting enough sleep is one of the surest ways to lower your immune system. So while you’re traveling and attending events, be sure to prioritize sleep!

+ Drink up

Water, that is. Load up on water, at least 1L a day. This will improve digestion and flush out toxins (hello, booze!) from your body while keeping your sky hydrated and glowing from within.

+ Stay moving

It’s easy to let your fitness routine fall to the wayside during the holiday season. But I always make a point to stick to my usual workout routine as much as I can. Not only does it keep my mind clear, I don’t feel as guilty indulging over the holidays.

+ Find balance

Of course, sometimes you gotta live! Don’t feel guilty for having a little too much champagne or indulging in holiday treats. As long as you balance it out (salad and green juice during the day, an extra-hot yoga class once a week), it’ll all even itself out. I’m all about the 80/20 rule.

+ Boost your routine with vitamins!

I’ve been taking OLLY gummies for the past year and not only love the taste, but I also love how easy they are to take. I like that I can do something good for my body that is easy to do even when I am always on the go. Their Active Immunity vitamins are tasty little gummies packed with elderberry, echinacea, vitamin C, and zinc. All known immunity-boosting supplements! I used to take all of these supplements separately (yep, I looked like I was taking 10 different medications a day) and couldn’t keep up with my vitamin routine. BUT, now that I can get my entire immunity boost in 3 gummies a day, it’s been so much easier to keep my immune system strong and wellness with OLLY.
