Surviving the Holidays
from Melissa Olson, In Tune Nutrition
This time of year is often extra busy with family, friends, and celebrations. It becomes easy to over do it when it comes to food, sweets and alcohol. Here are a few tips to help you survive and enjoy the holiday season!
1. Consider adding a digestive enzyme to your larger meals or after having extra treats at holiday parties. Try a full spectrum enzyme for support breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Papaya enzymes are a simple, great option. Even if it’s been a couple hours since the party, if you are still feeling extra full or uncomfortable, digestive enzymes can still be helpful.
2. Focus on protein. Have a good serving of protein and vegetables before enjoying the treats. Eating a high protein snack or meal at home before going out can help ensure you get more of the nutrients you need and potentially help limit some of the sugary treats while out.
3. Find a friend to share with! By splitting the desserts in half, you will still get to taste test several treats while not over indulging.
4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Remember to drink plenty of water before, during, and after holiday parties. If indulging in alcoholic beverages, have a glass of water in between drinks to help stay hydrated and pace alcohol consumption.
5. Enjoy! Most importantly, if you are going to eat it or drink it, enjoy it!

Comfort 360, formerly Comfort Air, has been a familyowned business serving Vancouver since 1983. It has undergone a significant rebranding to better reflect its wide range of services. With the expansion of its electrical division, Comfort 360 has evolved into a comprehensive provider of HVAC, plumbing, and full-service electrical solutions for residential and commercial customers. The rebranding highlights the company’s growth and new capability to offer comprehensive service.
The decision to transition from Comfort Air to Comfort 360 stemmed from a desire to encompass the company’s full scope of services.

Comfort 360’s new identity reflects its mission to provide well-rounded, expert solutions all in one place.
Electrical services at Comfort 360 have evolved significantly since the company’s founding. Originally, they subcontracted electrical work while installing air conditioners or furnaces.
