Many of us make health-related resolutions, such as to lose weight, stop smoking or join the neighborhood health club. While it is common to set high goals, experts say that setting smaller goals could do more for our health.
“Small steps are achievable and are easier to fit into your daily routine,” says James O. Hill, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. “They are less overwhelming than a big, sudden change.”
Here are 10 fun things to try:
- Keep an eye on your weight and work on making sure you are not gaining extra lbs. Even if you gain just a pound or two every year, the extra weight adds up quickly.
- Take more small steps. Use a pedometer to count your daily steps; or simply move more, dance in your kitchen, get outside and walk the neighborhood, just keep the body moving.
- Eat breakfast. Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less and have better diets overall. Pick fresh fruits and whole grains to start your day.
- Eat mindfully, keeping your awareness on your food and enjoying each meal.
- Have at least one green salad every day. Eating a salad (with low-fat or fat-free dressing) is filling and may help you eat less during the meal. It also counts toward your five daily cups of vegetables and fruits.
- Stop thinking so much. A busy mind uses too much energy and obstructs proper energy flow in the body.
- Practice the art of gratitude, it keeps joyful energy flowing through your body stimulating rejuvenation of your energy flow.
- Downsize. The smaller the bag, bottle or bowl, the less you will eat. This allows the body to process the food easily without too much strain.
- Lose just 5 to 10 percent of your current weight. The health benefits are huge-lower blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Keep track of your eating and your thinking. Write down what you are experiencing over the next couple of days and look for problem spots. Often, just writing things down can help you eat less. and think less
