The festive season is a time of celebration, indulgence, and feasting. While it’s a joyful time to connect with loved ones and enjoy delicious meals, it can also be a challenging period for those who want to focus on their wellness as well as having a good time.
In this blog post, we’ll explore ways you can maintain a positive relationship with food and keep up with your wellness goals over the festive season. We will also discuss how incorporating NAD+ supplementation into your wellness routine will help you crush cravings and keep your energy levels up.
Mindful Eating
We all know how it feels to be overstuffed after Christmas dinner, ready to take a nap, and cradling your food baby. This is where mindful eating and building a healthy relationship with food comes in.
When you’re at a festive gathering, practice mindful eating. Slow down, savour each bite, and pay attention to your body’s hunger cues. After eating, take a moment to assess how you feel. Are you comfortably full, or do you feel overstuffed? This can help you enjoy your food more and reduce the likelihood of overeating.
Work Exercise Into Your Routine
Exercise is essential for maintaining energy levels and reducing cravings. Try to stick to your regular exercise routine as much as possible during the festive season.
However, it’s important to not miss important family moments just to fit in an extra session at the gym. Take this time to bring your loved ones along: wrap up warm and go for a walk or play some sports together outside!
Manage Your Stress Levels
The festive season is notoriously stressful. With buying gifts, planning gatherings and tying up loose ends at work, it can feel like you have no time for yourself. Stress can also lead to emotional eating and cravings for comfort foods.
This festive season, try scheduling some time to refill your cup. This could mean running a bath, going for a walk by yourself, or treating yourself to a rejuvenating therapy. If you’re strapped for time, our Express IV Infusion Therapy only takes up to 30 minutes!
Keep an Achievable Sleep Routine
A lack of sleep can lead to brain fog, decreased energy levels and increased cravings for high-calorie foods. The festive party season can also play havoc on your sleep schedule.
Late nights happen, and sometimes your perfectly crafted sleep routine can go out the window. This is why it is important to give yourself the best chance you can to make healthy lifestyle choices. This creates the chance to have small wins like meditating during your nighttime skincare routine or having a satisfying breakfast.
NAD+ Supplementation
Although we all try to keep up our wellness routines during the festive period, sometimes we need an extra boost. This is where NAD+ can help. At NADclinic, we have options like our convenient range of supplements that you can take as part of your morning routine or therapies to create some self-care time. NAD+ supplementation has a myriad of helpful effects, such as:
- Helping your circadian rhythm & improving sleep quality
- Minimising brain fog & boosting cognitive function

When you feel good, you eat better. So, if you want to finish the year feeling your best and avoid the Christmas bloat, consider incorporating NAD+ into your routine. For more information, and to find the best way for you to get your miracle molecule fix, contact our experienced clinic team.
