It’s 2018!
What is at the top of your New Year resolutions for 2018? Eat better? Increase your physical activity? Get better organized? While all of these are great resolutions, they can often become overwhelming.
Start the year off right with small, manageable changes to your lifestyle.
- Park your car at the farthest point at work to increase your steps
- Use the stairs instead of the elevator
- Eat a salad everyday!
- Increase hydration
- Stop salting your foods–use herbs, lemon juice and spices.
Small changes have big impacts. Remember to slow down. Set aside time for a night off and enjoy doing nothing! This helps us to maintain a sense of control over our busy lives.
At Live Healthy Live Well we are starting 2018 by offering a weekly text with reminders to help you stay healthy and reach your goals – LHLW365!
Sign up today! Share with your family and friends!

These small changes will have a huge impact and will be easy to stick too! Let’s make this the best year ever!
