The holiday season is over, and for many people that means starting to think about your New Year’s Resolutions. The New Year is a time of new beginnings, a fresh start and a chance to make things happen that you may have put off in the past. For many, sticking with those resolutions is a problem, but if you make the right choices, you’ll find that this can be the key to living a better, healthier life in the coming year.
However, this requires making the right choices with your promises to yourself this holiday season. Check out these New Year’s resolutions for your physical health, and start working towards living a better lifestyle overall in the coming year.
Healthy New Year’s Resolutions
About a third of all Americans resolve to better their lives every New Year’s. About 75% of those people stick to their promises for about a week, less than 50% stick with it more than six months. It can be tricky to stay with your determination, but if you choose resolutions that will help you live a healthier life, you may discover it’s easier to stick with them overall.
Weight Loss
This is the number one resolution people make every year, and it also proves to be the most difficult commitment. If you can succeed, however, it’s the biggest turnaround you can make in your life. Don’t expect to shed tons of pounds right away. Set measurable goals, a little at a time, and plan for obstacles along the way. Don’t make excuses if you fall off your plan; just get back on it!
Reconnect with Friends and Family
This may not seem like a physical health thing, but your mental health is literally tied to your physical health. The more you stay in touch with people who boost your psyche, the better your overall health and wellness will be. It’s really easy to stay in touch with loved ones these days—just reach out and do it!
Stop Tobacco
If you’re a smoker, now’s the time to quit. Nobody can say they don’t understand the health risks of cigarettes. Lung cancer, COPD, high blood pressure, and a range of other bodily damages come from smoking. The jury is still out on vaping, but in general, it’s just better to stop taking foreign substances into your body.
Cut Back on Drinking
There are a ton of studies proving that alcohol, in moderation, can actually have health benefits—especially red wine and certain beers. However, the problem is we tend not to do anything in moderation. If you’re a regular drinker, cut it back to one a day, and you’ll find that you actually feel better and enjoy some health benefits as well.
