Final Tips for Holiday Health: Keeping Family Time Fun and Active with Well Adjusted Buckhead in Atlanta

Can you believe we’re wrapping up our “Holiday Health” series? It’s been a joy sharing my favorite holiday wellness tips to stay healthy and active this season, and I hope these insights help you make the most of every moment. Today, I’m sharing the final two tips, and they’re probably the easiest to implement since you won’t be doing them alone. You’re around family, so why not make these healthy habits a group activity?

After Dinner Walks for Better Digestion and Wellness
After a big holiday meal, it’s all too easy to slip into a food coma and graze mindlessly. But one of my favorite ways to prevent this is with a simple after-dinner walk! Here at Well Adjusted Buckhead in Atlanta, we always recommend gentle movement, like walking, as part of a balanced wellness routine. Walking after meals supports digestion, keeps your blood flowing, and lets you burn off a few calories—all while enjoying quality time with family. (Bonus: This holiday tip is so easy, you might add it year-round!)

After Dinner Games for Family Bonding and Activity
If it’s too chilly for a walk, try after-dinner games instead. Active games like Pictionary and charades are fantastic ways to stay moving and engaged. In my family, these kinds of games keep everyone on their feet, and even low-key games like Uno or Scrabble are a great way to laugh together. At Well Adjusted Buckhead in Atlanta, we encourage activities that promote both physical movement and mental wellness, and these kinds of traditions can do just that.

The best part? These “healthy holiday habits” don’t feel like work! By simply staying engaged, moving, and laughing with loved ones, you’re supporting your well-being in a way that’s truly enjoyable.

Let’s make this holiday season memorable, healthy, and fun! Get moving, savor every moment, and keep that holiday fluff at bay.

Helping you feel your best with health + humor,
