You know the saying ‘new year, new you’ but how often do you actually follow through with those resolutions? The first step is to create a resolution list that is achievable which is why we are highlighting our 10 tips to improve your health in the new year.

 De-Stress

Let’s face it, we have been going through a very stressful time. In 2022 try to incorporate some easy stress-reducing techniques such as daily meditation, breathing techniques, more bubble baths, or daily walks.

Lower Your Blood Pressure

Is your blood pressure a little high? An easy way to fix this is to salt your food less.

Get More Sleep

Start by hitting the hay 15 minutes earlier and see how that works for you.

Drink More Wine

Yes, you read that right. One glass of red wine has been shown to have powerful antioxidants that can help keep you healthy. Stick to one glass, though anymore and you may risk serious health problems.

Sit Up Straight

Try to be more aware of your posture when you stand and sit to encourage better relaxation and discourage muscle strain and soreness in the new year.

Challenge Your Mind

Try starting a crossword puzzle or playing chess more for some brain-stimulating fun.

Lose Weight

Hit the gym, and try to make healthy choices each day to lose those unwanted pounds this year.

Eat Healthy

A great way to start off the new year in a healthy manner is to try subbing out some of your dietary choices such as swapping white rice for brown rice or lean meats for fatty ones.

Ditch the Elevator

Take the stairs instead for an easy fitness boost throughout your day.

 Stretch Your Body

Daily stretching gives your body so many benefits and helps you to feel more refreshed.
