Top Ten Holiday and Christmas Shopping Tips

Holiday Christmas Eaton Centre Toronto

We ran into an interesting article over at the Fitness Tips for Life website. They offered advice about healthy foods you can eat while holiday shopping at the mall and what foods to avoid. Guess who they suggested?

Now we came up with our own list of tips to compliment anyone’s holiday shopping experience.

1. Try to come to the mall only wearing a light jacket as the malls are already set to a toasty 72F / 22C

2. Bring cash only so you know you will not overspend

3. Wear comfortable shoes

4. Avoid caffeine as it just gives you a short spike in energy and leaves you more tired than before

5. Avoid shopping on an empty stomach

6. Eat healthy snacks like Yogen Fruz frozen yogurt, smoothies and fruit cups to maintain your energy level. :)

7. Stay hydrated and drink lots of water

8. Bring your iPod to avoid having to listen to the same holiday jingles over and over, from store to store.

9. Take lots of breaks, cuz we know what heavy shopping bags can do.

10. Most of all, have fun! Wear a Ăś on your face!

Probiotics, Available Everyday in Yogen Fruz Non Fat and Low Fat Frozen Yogurt and Dairy Smoothies

Yogen Fruz Probiotics Yoga

The literal meaning of “Probiotics” comes from the Greek meaning “For Life” Probiotics are living bacteria cultures, which when consumed in sufficient quantities, have beneficial effects on health. While many yogurts contain live cultures, they may not have the strength to survive the digestive process and therefore, may not provide the same health benefits as adding Probiotic cultures. Yogen Früz, by adding Probiotic cultures to its frozen yogurt, may help to maintain optimal levels of good bacteria in your digestive system.

Some of the benefits of Probiotic cultures are that it may assist in lowering cholesterol, may help manage lactose intolerance, may improves immune system, may prevent infections, may reduce inflammation, may help improve mineral absorption and may help maintain a healthy digestive system. For more information on the benefits of Probiotic cultures, visit the following websites:
