Food overdose at Christmas

Ate a lot over Christmas? Indeed, most Christmas fans LOVE their food. As a direct consequence of stuffing your face over Christmas you now have to look for ways to tighten up your waste. You may therefore think that doing sit-ups will prevent you from getting bigger around the middle. However, you should know that when you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger and you should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Chocolate overdose at Christmas

Are you crazy? You don't need to feel bad about eating too much chocolate! After all, cocoa bean is another fruit, so do what I do – make sure you have your five a day.

Drunk at Christmas

Did someone tell you to reduce alcohol intake? Hmmm… What do they know? Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. It seems to me you can’t go wrong.

Excessive Santa's generosity – what to do with all the presents?

I see, Santa's been too generous and overloaded you with piles of duplicate crap also known as presents. You really would have preferred cash instead of crap, but little choice you've been given. Don't worry; you can assign purposes to unwanted presents, which will convert to benefit you. You can use your unwanted Christmas presents as bribes (bribe your neighbour's kids to run to the shop and get you a pint of milk), wait till the next occasion and give unwanted presents away to friends and accountancies. And if you are looking for a simple solution, burgle yourself – sell the shizzle online and pretend you were robbed.

Bruised personal finance

Sponsoring Santa, entertaining friends and relatives, budgeting for Christmas sales and running a household can't be easy on your account. No wonder the ancient Mayan's chose December for their Dooms Day. Let's face it, if the recession has not driven us up the wall, bloody Christmas will! In order to manage your personal finance better, you need to bring your accounts into one place; what you can see better, you can manager better. Of course, if this doesn't work, next year Santa gets the sack!

Worried about post Christmas fry-ups?

Don't worry about eating fried foods. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Getting in shape after Christmas celebrations

If you think getting in shape is important for your lifestyle, just remember, "round" is also a shape.

New Years resolution for healthy living

Do not trust those who will tell you cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
