Easy to Keep New Year’s Resolutions

Resolutions focused on improving personal health are popular for a good reason—they can have positive implications for years to come. Keeping them simple could lead to a higher success rate.

• Walk daily and add more steps once your body starts to adapt.

• Spend less time on social media. Instead, use it to engage in a physical activity you enjoy.

• Eat more whole foods including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and fish.

• Avoid sweetened beverages and opt for more water or unsweetened teas.

• Find a physical activity you like and aim to do it a few times a week.

Avoid restrictive health and wellness resolutions that can be unsustainable. By downsizing expectations and taking small steps to reach your goals you may be more motivated to stay the course.
