eDiets.com - News - tip of the day: "Keep alcohol to a minimum at holiday parties. Alcohol is empty calories. One ounce of alcohol has 70 to 100 calories; some mixed drinks are higher in calories due to the heavy cream or fruit syrup mixed in. Quench your thirst with non-alcoholic beverages and when you do imbibe, remember, one drink is festive, more is a bore!
Fitness
Fit balls are fantastic for stretching your entire body. You can smoothly roll into a stretch to intensify it. Using the fit ball enables you to be safely supported and achieve positions that are not possible while lying on the floor. The ball can reduce stress on your joints and encourage the spinal muscles to relax as compression on the spine is reduced. Give it a try -- your muscles will thank you for it."
