Festive feasting: Making better choices after this holiday season

The festive season is a time for joy, family, celebration, and often, indulgence. Between the office parties, braais, long lunches, and family reunions, it becomes easy to lose track of what we eat and drink due to the abundance of delicious food and treats. While food is central to celebration at this time of year, it can lead to unwanted weight gain, fatigue, and feelings of guilt. With a mindful approach upfront, you can still fully enjoy the festivities and maintain control over your health and weight.
