Christmas lunch idea 3 Real talk Beating the festive season blues “ Christmas is a time of celebration. But it can also be a time of loneliness, family conflict, and added financial pressures of gifts, parties and catering – which can lead to feelings of anxiety or depression. Around this time of year, I often see spikes in pharmacy visits and medication use that people turn to more and more. As your pharmacists, we can provide support and help you manage your mental and physical health. If you are struggling at this time of year, know that you are not alone. I often suggest trying these strategies to help cope with the demands of the festive season. GREEN BEAN, TOMATO & • Exercise – physical activity is important all through the year, but especially at Christmas when lots of us slow down. Finding at least 30 minutes a day for exercise or fun festive activities can have you feeling good inside and out! • Food & drink – I know it’s easy to overindulge at this time of year, however alcohol and food should be consumed in moderation. Allow yourself the odd treat, but remember to keep up a healthy diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, and lots of water! Did you get tasked with bringing a plate to family Christmas? Dish up this delicious and nutritious summer salad that is bursting with flavour, low in calories, and even colour coordinated for Christmas. We think it will be such a hit, you’ll be asked to bring it next year too! • Budget - with huge pressure to spend at Christmas, it’s no wonder stress levels skyrocket! I find planning and budgeting in advance helps our family stay on track (ie. saving $10/week = $520 in a year). Other ideas could include getting everyone to bring a dish for Christmas lunch, try Secret Santa (with a set limit) instead of individual gifts, and opt for homemade presents from the heart. • Connection - feeling connected to loved ones is so important following COVID-19, but especially at Christmas when feelings of isolation often peak. Make time to phone or Facetime family and friends to check in on them at this time of year, or organise catchups in person. It’s an instant mood booster for both sides! • Handling stress – some stress can’t be avoided, but knowing your triggers and acting on them can put you in a better headspace to manage any challenges. Strategies might include taking walks to clear your head, avoiding certain situations or people, taking ‘you’ time to relax, and speaking openly. It’s also a good time to check in with your GP or pharmacist for extra support with your feelings of stress or anxiety. cashew salad Serves 8 | 155 calories per serve INGREDIENTS: 700g green beans, trimmed and sliced into 3cm pieces 1 large head of broccoli, cut into small florets 500g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half 1 leek, chopped 100g cashews, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste METHOD: 1.
