During this time of the year, I find myself rushing around with longer work hours, trying to decorate, get Christmas cards out, buying/wrapping gifts, going to holiday parties, and trying to do all the traditional stuff. Somewhere in there I’m trying to exercise and eat healthy!…….YOU TOO?………
If you are a healthy person and eat well, you shouldn’t supplement a meal with drinks, it’s not necessary. You also shouldn’t use it as a weight loss tool agonizing over how you go back to real food after you lose your weight. BUT……when I am so busy I am not getting my meals in, I NEED to pop a quick Ensure down me to keep me going. It’s much better than grabbing a greasy burger on the go, or munching on sweets that will only leave me hungry again in an hour.
I choose Ensure for multiple reasons…..It doesn’t need to be refrigerated so I can just have a bottle sitting in my purse all the time. It’s what hospitals used for years to keep sick people nutritionally healthy when they couldn’t eat regular food for whatever reason. It’s okay for lactose and gluten intolerant people, contains protein to keep your blood sugar up, full of vitamins and minerals, and it’s not loaded with extra calories or fat. It’s also good as a recovery drink if you are a work out fanatic that doesn’t stop to eat enough!
So enjoy your holiday season, get everything done, including taking good care of yourself! Don’t forget to get some good nutrition in you during this hectic time of the year!!!!!!
