Hi everybody from Nashville. I'm Skip Orm, and this is the Anchor Point podcast. And this is the December 2nd, 2022 episode of the Anchor Point Podcast. This episode today, everybody is not being recorded up at the X BHS Radio studios in Nashville. Instead, I'm here at my home studio and the quaint little Nashville suburban town of Nolansville, Tennessee Nolansville sits right here on the southeast corner of the Music City. Hello again, everybody. I'm Skip or, and I'm so happy that you've punched up today's episode because we're gonna give you a strategy for managing your diet and not letting things get too crazy over the holidays.

Anchor Point is the Faith and Fitness podcast for us older folks, people in our fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond. And we're doing everything we can to stay fit, to stay healthy, and to live a long, happy and healthy life. I mentioned this episode is is being released on December 2nd. We typically release Anchor point episodes ever every Friday. The Anchor Point podcast is free, no advertisements, and you can subscribe to the anchor point from wherever you get podcasts. We're on all of the major podcast platforms, even though everybody I might have mentioned the date of this episode. For the most part, each of our anchor point episodes are not really date specific. They are, well, they're subject specific. That means if you are new to the anchor point and you wanna go back and catch up on our earlier episodes, you can do that. Learn about things we talked about on any particular episode, and it doesn't really matter when you listen. For instance, this episode today where we're going to focus on a holiday diet strategy, well, it's gonna be just as meaningful and informative if a listener was punching up the podcast in December of next year. And on today's anchor point episode, we're gonna be all about keeping our diet and stress level under control during the coming holiday season. And then also later in the episode today, I'm gonna share some of my thoughts on heaven right now though. Let's get this episode underway with medical news for seniors.

Today's medical news for seniors comes from the Mayo Clinic this holiday season for sure. It is a time for family and good cheer, but making sure that the house is clean, the food is ready, the presents are all bought and wrapped. That can all be a challenge when you think about it. All of the things that go on during the holidays can be so overwhelming and and bring some unwanted stress and depression in a time that's really meant for so much happiness. As we start to move into this holiday season, the Mayo Clinic suggests that we try these steps to help to ensure that we have a stress-free holiday. Step one plan ahead during the holidays. It always seems like there's not enough time in each day to do all that we need to do and to to see the people we wanna see. So make a plan in advance. Next, plan your holiday spending. Make a budget and stick to it.

Turn on some music like some candles. Do everything you can to create relaxing surroundings. And of course, we all know that the holidays, they are notorious for ruining healthy habits. So I want everybody out there to make sure that you do everything you can to keep practicing your fitness habits during the holidays.
