New Year’s Resolutions

Happy New Year!!!

I know New Year’s resolutions usually last for about 2 weeks, but this year I believe that our efforts to work toward attaining optimum health are more important than ever. I do not have confidence that our health care situation is going to improve. In fact, I think it will indeed get worse before it gets better. What does this mean? It means that if we need care or testing, it will be an even bigger fight with the insurance companies to get them to allow us the treatment or diagnostics we require! As my clients know, I advocate taking our health into our own hands and promoting optimum health—through diet, exercise, supplements and a healthy lifestyle! So I say to you, make those resolutions and make them work! For starters, here are my resolutions for 2010:

1. Exercise at least 45 minutes a day on work days, 1 hour on weekends. (that means when it’s cold or icy and my walk is cut short, it’s on to the bike in the basement to make up the time!

2. Daily stretches and strengthening exercises to heal my back, along with nightly soaks, chiropractic, massage and liniments.

3. Supplements, supplements, supplements! I spent a TON of money on good vitamins this week, and I plan on ramping it up this year!

4. Continue the good eating plan that I teach my clients, and eliminate the snacking except for dark chocolate (70% cacao or more).The holidays had me eating cookies, and now I crave sugar!!!

5. Add Organic India fiber daily to ramp up the fiber content of my diet—in addition to all the fruits and veggies I eat!
