EventWorks At Your Service: 5 Tips To Recover From Thanksgiving Right Now

-

 Did your dryer also malfunction over the weekend? Clearly the best explanation for those tight fitting jeans today.
We feel your pain - the Post Thanksgiving Blues.

 According to Health.com the average Thanksgiving dinner, without going back for second helpings and consuming just one glass of wine, contains 2400 whopping calories! And that's just dinner, folks! 
Add to that the calming effects of l-tryptophan and red wine and we know why we feel so sluggish right now. 

 Fret not, we are happy to help you out.
We did the research and found 5 EASY WAYS to get back on track.

1) Go Back To Your Normal Routine.
All nutritionist and doctors will tell you that your body is not a trash can. Don't worry about those leftovers. Just quit eating Holiday foods and go back to your normal routine. 
Need motivation: on average we gain 5 to 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's because we keep piling on the the holiday foods. So just stop.

2) Get Moving! 

We found a great 13 minute short but very effective "yoga for when you overeat" practice with Adriene on YouTube. It is easy for all levels, even beginners and takes away the tummy troubles. 



If yoga is not your style dance it off. Click the image link for the play list.



3) Detox 

 We found delicious, healthy recipes from a trusted source: Gaiam. Yes, we know, it's sooooo "California". Bring on the baby kale and beets. We promise it tastes good and makes you feel better quickly.

4) Play Outdoors With Your Kids Or Dogs

 Depending on your body weight you can burn over 300 calories on a simple walk! The trustworthy writers at GOOD HOUSEKEEPING published a detailed list earlier this year.

And there are all those other health benefits:

  • increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness.
  • reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes.
  • stronger bones and improved balance.

Finally, last but not least:
5) Laugh It Off


Wishing you a wonderful week!

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
