New year, a better you!
We’re officially a whole month into the New Year already! On the first of January, you sat down with a pen and piece of paper and started brainstorming your resolutions for 2017. Work fewer hours and spend more time with the family? Save up so this time next year you can be jetting off to some fantastic destination? New Year’s Resolutions differ for everybody, but a common theme is that by February, they’re just distant memories. Regardless of whether you can keep a resolution or not, you should continue to make your health a priority in 2017- especially after an exorbitant amount of champagne at your New Years function. Here are some top suggestions to keep your health in check this year!
Water. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, water should never be far from reach. Try to cut down on high-calorie soft drink, sugary fruit juices and energy drinks and substitute lemon and mint-infused water.
Wear a pedometer. Aim for 10,000 steps each day to lower blood pressure and maintain weight.
