7Volume2019Helpful Holiday HintHere are 20 tips to help you avoid weightgain during the holiday season.1. Be active with family and friends:sedentary activity, such as sitting on the couch watching TV, are a a common holiday tradition for many families. Inactivity can contribute to weight gain especially ifaccompanied by overeating. Doing some type of physicalactivity with family may prove beneficial for weight control. Even as simple as a family walk can get your mindoff food, but also help you bond with your loved ones.2. Snack wisely:Cookies and other goodies are available at the ready during the holiday season, which you are more likely tosnack unnecessarily. So when at home, keep snacks outof site. However when at work or at a friends house thismay not be as easy, so just be mindful of your snackingand keep a healthy limit in mind.The City of Albuquerque, Department of SeniorAffairs Retired and Senior Volunteer Program(RSVP) is recruiting volunteers 55 years of age andolder for the following opportunities.
