Even when on holiday, you should keep an eye on what you eat.

Today I want to be your personal doctor. So, listen carefully..

When on holiday, you know how to enjoy yourself. You have fun, catch up on sleep and over-indulge. Yes..Fun and rest can do wonders to distress tired bodies and minds but over-indulging in food will do more harm than good. You already knew that, but why you still eat too much. You forget, right..?

Don’t you know that you tend to put on weight, some as much as three kilograms (wow!) when the holidays are over. Don’t laugh, ok. Take it seriously.

It is IMPORTANT to take care of your health during the holidays to Malaysia so that you can have more holidays. ( I hope your second time holiday is still Malaysia.) Just joking..hehe

Even if you’re on the road, bring home-cooked meals like noodles and sandwiches that you can eat at rest areas along the highways. Or you buy it. Get plenty of exercise, even if it’s just going for a walk or a swim as these help burn calories.

YOU should try NEVER to put on weight because weight is hard to lose. Maintain sensible eating habits even when on holiday. It is hardest when you have all your meals at hotels that serve buffet spreads. Isn’t it? So, if you’re staying in a hotel for three or four days, eat stuff that you don’t normally eat at home.

Remember this! If you have sweet tooth, make sure dessert portions are small.

If you’re staying at a service apartment, think about having a healthy steamboat for dinner, but don’t overload on seafood such as prawns and squids. That’s all for today.

See you next time..
