Great article Exercising for example is a great tip. Most of us neglect our bodies this time of year and over indulge. Consequently we become fatigued and sluggish. This can add to your stress levels when you have so much to do. However, exercising not only picks you up but keeps in shape through out the holiday season.
Stay healthy all year long
