The festive season is around the corner - a time filled with joy, happiness and spending time with loved ones, but for some it can take a real hit to health and well-being. Christmas is a time where social expectations especially around food and alcohol are high. There have been numerous reports showing Brits consume a whopping 6000 calories alone on Christmas day! But having a healthy Christmas does not have to mean forgoing all of the lovely treats that we associate with this time of the year. Indulgence does not have to be all or nothing.
