A University of South Australia's study on annual weight fluctuations reveals that Australians tend to gain about 0.65% of body weight (roughly 546 grams) during the Christmas and New Year period. This seasonal gain highlights how holiday indulgences contribute to yearly weight cycling, which can pose long-term health risks if not managed.
At Healthstin, we believe in helping you enjoy the holidays whilst staying well with a unique combination of Dietetics and Hydrotherapy. This powerful pairing can support your energy, mobility, and overall wellness so that you can truly make the most of the season.
Hydrotherapy: Revitalise your body with gentle exercise
Hydrotherapy is an ideal way to stay active without placing undue stress on your joints and muscles. Exercising in warm water allows for a greater range of movement while reducing discomfort, making it especially beneficial for managing holiday stress and stiffness. Through low-impact exercises, Hydrotherapy helps improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and boost circulation, which is essential for maintaining energy and mobility during the holiday rush.
Healthstin’s Hydrotherapy sessions are tailored to suit each person’s needs, whether you’re looking to reduce tension, manage arthritis symptoms, or simply stay active. Our warm water pools provide a safe, supportive environment where you can recharge both physically and mentally, helping you stay balanced and relaxed throughout the season.
Dietetics: Stay nourished and energised
What you eat has a powerful effect on how you feel, and the holidays can make it challenging to maintain a balanced diet. At Healthstin, our expert Dietitian provides personalised guidance to help you enjoy holiday meals without sacrificing your wellness goals. By focusing on nutrient-rich foods, you can keep your energy up, support your immune system, and avoid the common holiday pitfalls of overeating or consuming foods that can lead to inflammation and fatigue.
Our Dietetic services are designed to create a holiday nutrition plan that includes seasonal fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins, and other nutrient-dense choices. This helps you stay well-nourished and enjoy holiday meals in a way that supports both your short-term and long-term health.
