Here are our Top 10 Holiday Survival Tips to keep you balanced, energised, and stress-free this season.

Hot weather, alcohol, and rich foods can all dehydrate your body. Sip water regularly throughout the day to maintain energy, support liver function, and keep your skin glowing.

The festive calendar fills quickly. Schedule events early, and remember — it’s okay to say no if something feels overwhelming. Protecting your time helps reduce stress.

Even short bursts of activity help. A morning walk, swim, or light stretching keeps circulation flowing, lifts your mood, and supports stress management.

Yes, enjoy the pudding! But balance rich foods with fresh summer salads, seafood, and fruit. This not only supports digestion but also provides antioxidants to help your body recover from festive indulgence.

Summer celebrations can be hot and hectic. Choose light clothing, seek out shade, and use fans or cool cloths to regulate your body temperature — stress feels bigger when you’re overheated.

Financial stress is one of the biggest holiday triggers. Set spending limits and consider alternatives like Kris Kringle, homemade gifts, or experiences. Peace of mind is priceless.

Your body needs 7–8 hours of quality rest to reset hormones, regulate mood, and process stress. Try winding down with herbal tea, magnesium, or a screen-free hour before bed.

Enjoy alcohol in moderation and give your body a break:
•   Eat before drinking to slow absorption
•   Alternate with water or non-alcoholic drinks
•   Have a healthy late-night snack or breakfast to restore blood sugar
•   Finish with a big glass of water before bed
•   Support your body with B group vitamins, which are used in alcohol metabolism and can help replenish energy
•   Remember: less alcohol = better sleep and energy

Even a five-minute pause outdoors can reset your nervous system. Step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and give yourself permission to recharge.

At its heart, the holiday season is about joy, love, and togetherness — not perfect tablescapes or endless to-do lists. Focus on people, laughter, and shared experiences.

•    After too much food: Gentle herbal teas (peppermint, ginger) can support digestion.
•    After too much sun: Aloe vera gel and hydration are your best friends.
•    After too much alcohol: Rehydrate, restore blood sugar, rest, and support your liver with antioxidant-rich foods and B vitamins.

By combining smart planning, mindful choices, and a little self-care, you can enjoy the season fully — while keeping your health and happiness intact.
