Yes, it’s here. The olympics of shopping, the regal day of retail, the marathon of money spending. It’s Black Friday. Whether you camp out in line or at your computer, this day and even weekend of shopping mania can take a toll on your wallet but also on your health. Sleepless nights, junk food snacks and hours on your feet can really set you off on the wrong foot this holiday season so check out my top 5 tips on surviving black friday, saving your health, your sanity, and maybe, your wallet!
- When heading out to shop, be sure you eat before leaving the house. Some oatmeal, toast and/or fruit will set you off on the right foot. Nothing kills your wallet and your stomach like food court food. Walk off your meal, that’s a better option ; )
- Bring a healthy snack with you so you’re not tempted to snack on trash. It’s also handy when you find yourself starving in a long line with no end in sight. Go for something like Meta Health Bars to keep you full and satisfied as they are full of fiber, perfect for a marathon day of shopping before, during and after!
- Wear comfortable shoes! Nothing kills a day of shopping like blisters and a headache. You need supportive and comfy shoes for holiday marathon shopping. Plus it makes it easier to run from sale to sale!
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Nothing will make your drop while you shop like dehydration. Keep spry, mobile and alert with a handy water bottle and sip all day long!
- If you’re shopping online, be sure to eat well, hydrate and also watch your posture. Take breaks from hunching over your computer by getting up and taking a walk, having a healthy meal and then going back to it!
