Who says Christmas party often says family reunion. The opportunity to share moments together, as well as a good meal. But it is also the time chosen by some to say this phrase that we no longer want to hear at parties.
The holidays are always a good excuse to have fun and share good times with those you love. And as the end-of-year holidays approach, we can imagine a reunion of the whole family. Adults chatting, children running in all directions, a festive atmosphere that everyone likes. But beyond that, there is also the moment awaited by all gourmands: that of eating. And, we know, the holidays are often the time when we forget the line and where we allow ourselves some small excesses. This is also the moment that some choose to make a certain remark to us which, according to experts, must be banned.
“You have to work hard to burn these candies. » A phrase that we know, and that we have already heard several times. And that’s the problem. According to experts, this phrase, which may come from a desire to motivate the person opposite to lose calories, is on the contrary harmful. According to American nutritionist Emmie Keefe, the problem is that if you want to exercise, you have to do it for yourself, but not to burn the calories you would have stored during the holidays: “ We should never exercise under the pretext of burning calories, we should do it for our mental health, to avoid cardiovascular diseases […] There are so many reasons to practice, burning calories shouldn’t be one of them. »

Sport to feel good about yourself
It is therefore necessary to have a good state of mind to see the positive consequences that exercise can have. Indeed, according to certain studies, seeing sport as something beneficial makes it possible to reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and increase creativity in the individual. Even more, it improves the quality of sleep.
On the contrary, seeing sport as a way to burn calories will only give a negative state of mind, and will be completely counterproductive. It is therefore better, for yourself and your mental health, to listen to yourself, and see physical exercise as a way to improve your well-being.
