The holidays seem to bring out the best and worst in people and in our health. Naturally no great holiday celebration would be complete without turkey and gravy with stuffing and more gravy as well as some mashed potatoes with (of course) even more gravy on top of that!

Overeating and especially overeating on sweets through the holiday season can cause many of the symptoms commonly associated with yeast overgrowth to appear. Constipation, bloating, achy joints, etc…can be a flag that there is too much yeast in your system.

“With the holidays so close how should I deal with all the food?” Well not all holiday foods are bad for you if you are on the diet or planning to do the diet cleanse. Meats and vegetables are great and are a part of the “accepted foods listing”, however all the sweets and desserts (including fruit) are off limits. If you are in the middle of the diet stay strong and don’t blow the whole thing for one or two days. While a small slipup will not ruin it for you don’t use the holiday as an excuse to overindulge.

If you haven’t started the yeast diet cleanse yet you may want to wait until after the holiday to ensure you won’t be tempted to quit before your finished. Make it part of your New Years Resolutions and start it off right. If your spouse will do the diet with you that could add the extra support you need to make sure you finish. Make it a game or a competition in some way (if that motivates you). If you are planning on waiting until after the New Year celebrations, start planning now by getting the necessary supplements and begin your meal planning so there are no setbacks once you start.

Take action on your plans for a healthier you but start today. Start planning out your grocery list and go ahead and purchase your supplements but take action now. Even if it is just to plan your steps make sure you begin with a plan and finish with success.

To your health this holiday season!
