Holiday Merriment Means Movement

It’s that time of year again when holiday stress is high and the holiday parties, plates of butter cookies, and glasses of cabernet are the temptresses, singing to us like sirens on the rocks with their promises to way-lay the best set plans for getting in some exercise. We all kvetch that there is little time to “get it all done” much less build in time for movement and exercise.

But movement and physical activity (especially movement in the brisk, winter’s air) is as important as making healthy choices during the holidays and getting adequate rest. Movement is something all bodies regularly need to both fight stress and build immunity.
