Healthiest Holiday: Part 3 of 4 (Stretch)

After a big meal, it’s important to give your body some love with some stretching. As a stretch specialist, I recommend gentle movements like twists, forward folds, and hip openers to help improve digestion and release tension.

Another tip is to take breaks throughout the day to stretch and move your body. It can help you feel more energized and refreshed.

In addition to the tips mentioned above, there are a few more things you can do to make stretching a part of your Holiday routine:

Set a reminder

With busy schedules and deadlines, it’s easy to forget about taking breaks and stretching. That’s why setting a reminder on your phone or computer can be helpful. Choose a time that works for you and commit to taking a few minutes to stretch and move your body.

Try different types of stretching

There are many different types of stretching, and each has its own benefits. For example, static stretching involves holding a stretch for a certain amount of time, while dynamic stretching involves moving your body through a range of motion. Experiment with different types of stretching to find what works best for you.

Don't forget to breathe

Breathing is an important part of stretching, as it helps to relax your body and release tension. Try to take slow, deep breaths as you stretch, and focus on exhaling fully to help release any tension in your body.

Stretching is not only beneficial for your physical health but also for your mental wellbeing. So, take a few minutes each day to stretch and move your body, and you’ll feel the benefits in no time.
