As holidays arise, there are plenty of ways to indulge without feeling guilty. Here are a handful or things to incorporate to your special day on Tuesday.
- Dark chocolate– contains plenty of antioxidants, in particular flavonoid compounds that lower blood pressure and improve glucose metabolism
- Loving– this does not mean you need to be in a relationship, love comes in many forms and can even take part between two strangers making eye contact, holding the door for someone, or having an open heart while coming into contact with people throughout the day. Love and happiness changes our DNA and the way our cells behave for the better.
- Red Wine– many antioxidants and heart healthy benefits, along with resveratrol which has many benefits including reducing inflammation
- Giving– helps people more then receiving studies show. Giving evokes gratitude and reduces stress
- Touch– increases endorphins, reduces cortisol, and enhances the immune system.
As these “indulgences” come up, know that you are also doing good for yourself while hopefully enjoying yourself.
