Bring a professional cook to your home
Imagine a Christmas or New Year’s dinner where every dish is a masterpiece, prepared by an experienced chef right at your home.

Grab a drink
Don’t store too much alcohol at home. Choose a drink that suits your constitution. Everything is within limits so that you do not suffer from a hangover. A non-alcoholic red wine is fine. Before sipping the drink, rub the stomach with milk or food. Keep hydrated. Learn to enjoy yourself while you’re sober. Stay away from fizzy drinks and opt for kombucha or non-carbonated sodas.
Engage in active outdoor recreation
Plan ahead for a stress-free evening. Exercise and breathe fresh air to maintain mental health. Do yoga, meditate, or engage in nature during the day for a refreshing party.
Surround yourself with good company
Avoid people who make you drink, overeat, or stay late at a party. Stay with like-minded friends and trusted friends, especially when partying outside. Inform your household about your location.
Casino style parties in the comfort of your home
Add a touch of Las Vegas glamor to your Christmas/New Year’s party with casino-style party catering from professional event planners. Professional game hosts will guide you and your guests through exciting games of poker, blackjack, roulette and teen potluck, all with a festive twist. Imagine the excitement of the game combined with the warm glow of holiday lights and home-cooked food and drinks without compromising your health goals.

Include healthy ingredients and cooking methods
Be sure to include fruits, nuts, seeds, probiotics and protein in your holiday feast. Bake or bake instead of deep-frying. Keep hot spices to a minimum. Since rich plums and high-calorie desserts like pastries and cheesecake are must-haves during the festivities, make sure they’re not drenched in sugary syrup. Choose sugar-free candies and dark chocolate based on dried fruit.
Drink herbal infusions
Drink herbal teas, mint tea or green tea to avoid acid reflux, bloating and other gut-related problems. Coconut water, fresh lime juice helps you stay hydrated with electrolytes and vitamin C.
Get into the bag in time
Enjoying a party does not necessarily mean dancing and having fun until the wee hours. Understand the daily rhythms and go to bed on time. Maintain the body’s normal 7-hour sleep schedule.
