Challenges of the Holiday Season
The holiday season is often a time when many individuals struggle to maintain their fitness and health goals, leading to common weight gain. Research shows that adults in the U.S. typically gain between 1.1 to 2.2 pounds annually, with a significant portion of this weight accumulated during the holidays from late November through January. This annual weight gain is alarming, as it gradually contributes to chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Understanding that most gains accrue during this festive period can help individuals recognize the importance of developing effective strategies to thrive rather than merely survive during the holiday season.
