Resolutions Are Great, Lifelong Lifestyle Changes Are Better
For many, New Year’s resolutions typically revolve around familiar goals: healthier eating, increased exercise, and weight loss. However, some of the most impactful changes for your health often don’t make it to that January 1 checklist.
From enhancing your hearing and vision to boosting sleep quality, fostering social connections, and even how you interact with technology, there are health habits that can significantly influence your well-being just as much as a new fitness regime. While they may not involve step trackers or transformation photos, they play a vital role in how you feel, think, and function.
- Reduce your sodium consumption – While sodium is an essential nutrient, most people consume too much and are not even aware they are doing so. The body needs a small amount of sodium to work properly, but in excess it can increase a person’s risk for developing high blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease and stroke.
- Increase physical activity-Staying active is one of the best ways to keep your body healthy. It can also improve your overall well-being and quality of life by relieving stress, anxiety, depression and anger.
- Practice healthy eating- Eating healthy prevents chronic disease, reduces excessive calorie intake, and encourages proper sleep.
