Statistically, most New Year’s resolutions falter by February. But you don’t have to make sweeping changes to improve your health. Small habits are often more sustainable than lofty goals. Here are some that will make an impact.
Drink More Water
Often, by the time a person feels thirsty, they’re already dehydrated. In addition to drinking water with meals, make a habit of drinking a full glass upon waking up and using a large water bottle to visually track your intake throughout the day.
Eat More Vegetables
You don’t have to eat endless salads to sneak in more veggies. Start with some simple swaps: Replace some of your pasta with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash, and potatoes with riced cauliflower. Bulk up sandwiches with dark leafy greens and keep chopped veggies in the fridge for easy snacking.
Take a class or Learn Something New
Henry Ford said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.” If that’s true, the fountain of youth is easily accessible. Indulge your curiosity and discover new passions as you enhance your knowledge and make your life richer. Start by exploring the array of classes and wellness programs at the Thevillageshealth.com/learning-center.
