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.
- Teamwork makes the dream work. Being with people that have similar goals can be inspiring and motivating. Plus, they can help you stay focused.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
