THANKSGIVING ushers in the holiday season and with a license to indulge.
Countless men and women put aside their guilt and dig into Christmas cookies, knock back too many eggnogs and smoke to their hearts content. But when Dick Clark rings in the New Year, these same men and women promise to once and for all lose these extra pounds, start exercising, avoid alcohol and stop smoking.
Yet for most, these bold resolutions soon fizzle into faint memories. But it does not have to be that way. Here are (nine) doable resolutions that can make a big difference to your health. So read the clip them out, hang them up on the refrigerator. Your body will be thankful.
1) Get a $25.00 pedometer as a motivation to walk more. You don’t have to become a marathon runner to reap the benefits of getting physical. Moderate exercise including walking, improves cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and promotes weight-loss. Men and women who walk for 30 min/day decrease their risk of stroke and heart attack by 20-40%.
2) Eat fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Research shows that these foods contain cancer-fighting chemicals as well as hearth-healthy compounds. These fiber rich foods help you feel full longer, encouraging weight-loss. Munch on cruciferous vegetables, like citrus, green vegetables and nuts, and eat enough fish and beans to fend off cancer, heart disease and obesity ( see me for further personal diet instructions)
3) Get at least 1000mg Calcium every day to build bone. Reach for calcium – rich foods and supplements to get your daily quota. You’re never too young to bone up on calcium. Before the age of 30, your body needs calcium every day. Your bones begin to loose calcium and your bones become increasingly fragile. This process speeds up as you approach menopause. ( see me for additional information, non-dairy calcium sources)
4) Start keeping track of how much alcohol you’re drinking if you’re drinking too many, a hang-over is the least of your worries. Even when adjusting for body weight, women who drink excessively face greater health consequences than their male encounter. Tossing back more than one drink a day can be a sign of depression.
5) Review all your medications, both prescriptions and over the counter, with your practitioner. A number of medications pose more health risks to women than men. Some antihistamines, antibiotics and cholesterol-lowering drugs may put women at increased risk of potential fatal and irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias.
6) Get tested for diabetes. Almost ten million men and women have diabetes yet one third of them don’t know it. More women than men are affected by diabetes include blindness is greater among women than men. All women 45 years and older should be tested at least once every three years for diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, should be tested regularly.
7) Smoke alarm: men and women are dying for a puff. About quitting smoking, smoking-associated diseases claim the lives of approximately 165.000 men and women annually. And lung cancer is the leading cancer-killer. Women are genetically, hormonal and behavioral effected differently than men. Planning and preparing are some essential to successful kicking of the habit. Find out about the newest treatment for quitting smoking, and get motivated to kick butts for life. ( see how acupuncture can help you to quit smoking)
8) Get some ZZZZZZZZZs. Tossing and turning the night away can wreak havoc on your health. Women suffer from insomnia more often than men and can face more severe consequences of the condition. Yet many remained undiagnosed and opt to self medicate instead of seeking professional advice. Why get help? Insomniacs regularly have trouble concentration and wind up being more accident-prone. In addition, studies show that up to half of the patients with chronic insomnia also have mood or anxiety disorders, acupuncture has great advantage, since non-invasive treatment is getting results immediately, see me for treatment options and details.
