Mindful Eating Tips for a Healthier Holiday Season

LAC Philippines encourages guilt-free celebrations through mindful eating and targeted wellness.

The Philippines is famous for having the longest Christmas season in the world. As soon as the ber months begin, lights, décor, and holiday promos appear everywhere—signaling months of gatherings filled with family, friends, and of course, food. From lechon to bibingka and festive holiday drinks, celebrations are all about indulgence and togetherness. But while these moments bring joy, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) reminds the public that excessive eating and drinking can affect overall health.

NNC emphasizes the importance of mindful eating, moderation, and following the Pinggang Pinoy model to maintain good nutrition during the holidays. Overindulging in rich dishes or alcohol may strain the liver, disrupt digestion, and contribute to unwanted weight gain and other health concerns.

Mindful Indulgence for a Joyful Season

The holidays are meant to be enjoyed—food included. Practicing mindful indulgence helps you savor every dish while keeping your body comfortable and energized throughout the season. Simple habits like portion control, staying hydrated, choosing balanced plates, and staying active all support healthy digestion and overall wellness.

To help Filipinos enjoy the festivities without compromising their health, LAC Philippines promotes balanced wellness through targeted nutrition. LAC’s scientifically formulated supplements are designed to strengthen the body’s natural defenses, support balance, and nurture inner wellness during this indulgent time of the year.

One essential supplement is LAC Activated® Liver Protector, designed to defend against fatty liver and support healthy liver function—especially important during the holiday season. Its formula combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs such as Sanchi, Red Peony Root, Hawthorn Fruit, Lotus Leaf, and Turmeric (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae). Together, they help prevent and relieve fatty liver, reduce bad cholesterol, and support the body’s natural detox process.
Recommended intake: 1–2 vegicaps twice daily with warm water after meals.

For those who feel bloated after celebrations or want to feel lighter after hearty meals, LAC LeanCut® Belli Lean™ offers a delicious, convenient way to support fat metabolism and reduce belly fat. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy, and a proprietary blend of Corn Silk, Lemon Balm, Red Vine Leaf, Lotus Leaf, and Eucommia Leaf Extracts to reduce visceral fat, relieve water retention, and promote a leaner midsection. This makes it ideal for people with high-fat or high-carb diets, sedentary lifestyles, or anyone wanting to maintain a balanced figure throughout the holidays.
How to take: 1–3 sticks daily on its own or mixed with water.

Wellness That Goes Beyond the Holidays

Mindful celebration isn’t about restricting yourself—it’s about finding balance. It allows you to enjoy cherished traditions while taking care of your health from within. With smart habits and the support of LAC’s wellness essentials, Filipinos can welcome the new year feeling lighter, stronger, and more energized.

Because the best celebrations are those that nourish both the body and the spirit—helping you enter the new year in your healthiest, happiest form.
