5 Tips for a Healthier Year

Date: 02/14/25

It’s the time of year when goals are set but not always completed. Studies show that it can be hard to meet our goals without the right tools. Here is a short list of helpful tips.

  1. Teamwork makes the dream work. Being with people that have similar goals can be inspiring and motivating. Plus, they can help you stay focused.
  2. Lend a helping hand. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, visiting a retirement home or donating clothes. There’s added health benefits when you help others, including a lower risk of depression and reduced stress.
  3. Eating good feels good. Pay attention to the food you eat and how it makes you feel. Understanding what you’re putting into your body can help you make healthier choices.
  4. Adding a positive can make a difference. There’s nothing wrong with the occasional sweet treat, but try swapping it out with a piece of fruit from time to time. Feel like you could be drinking more water? Have a 12-ounce glass of water before and after meals. You’ll feel fuller longer. Plus, there’s health benefits like improved brain function, better skin and more.
  5. Shake it up. Try signing up for an event like a 5K walk or run. Having an end goal and mixing up your routine can be just the thing to get you out of a slump. Most events benefit nonprofit groups, so you’ll be giving to a good cause while you’re at it!
