New Year ResolutionsTop 10 Healthiest Choices
Presented by: Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef

#1 —Lose Weight
To this day, this is one of the most popular
resolutions which suggests just how difficult it is to
commit to. But don't fret, you can succeed if you
don't expect overnight success. Be sure to plan for
roadblocks and hurdles.

3. 2015
#1 —Lose Weight
Use a food journal to keep track of what you eat
and have a support system in place. It's hard to
make excuses when you have someone who is
encouraging you to continue on when you feel like
quitting most.

4. 2015
#2 — Stay in Touch
It's good for your health to reconnect with old
friends and family who may have fallen by the
wayside. Research suggests people with strong
social ties live longer than those who don't.

5. 2015
#2 — Stay in Touch
A lack of social bonds can damage your health as
much as alcohol abuse and smoking, according to
a study in the PLoS Medicine Journal. In a
technology-driven era, it's never been easier
to stay in touch or reconnect with others, so fire up
your Facebook and follow up with in-person visits.

6. 2015
#3 — Quit Unhealthy Habits
Smoking or drinking too heavily can be really
damaging to your overall health and relationships.
They can be some of the hardest habits to break
since both have become a staple during social
events.

7. 2015
#3 — Quit Unhealthy Habits
Try different methods to find out what works for
you, and think of the cash you'll save! Talk to an
ex-smoker or an alcohol addict about their
experience in quitting and ask them to be your
mentor and supporter during the journey.

8. 2015
#4 — Save Money
Save money by making healthy lifestyle changes.
With extra cash in your pockets, more can be
spent on adventures, traveling, or the flat-screen
TV you've always wanted, etc.

9. 2015
#4 — Save Money
Walk, ride your bike, or arrange a carpooling
system for work. Cut back on gym membership
costs by exercising at home or at a park with a
friend. Take stock of what you have in the fridge
and use a grocery list to shop. Aimless shopping
can lead to poor choices for your diet and wallet.

10. 2015
#5 — Eat Healthier
When grocery shopping for main meals, pick up
lean protein such as grass-fed beef and skinless
chicken breasts. These lean proteins keep
muscles strong as well as build cartilage and
healthy skin.

11. 2015
#5 — Eat Healthier
Aim to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables
every day. After all, eating healthy is all about
moderation! It's okay to throw in sweets every now
and then.

12. 2015
#6 — Cut Stress
A little pressure now and again won’t kill us; in fact,
short bouts of stress give us an energy boost. But
if stress is chronic, it can increase your risk of or
worsen insomnia, depression, obesity, heart
disease and more.

13. 2015
#6 — Cut Stress
Long work hours, little sleep, no exercise, poor
diet, and not spending time with family and friends
can contribute to stress, says Roberta Lee, MD, an
integrative medicine specialist at Beth Israel
Medical Center, in New York City, and the author
of The Super Stress Solution.

14. 2015
#7 — Choose to Be Happy
We tend to think our own bliss relies on bettering
ourselves, but our happiness also increases when
we help others, says Peter Kanaris, PhD,
coordinator of public education for the New York
State Psychological Association.

15. 2015
#7 — Choose to Be Happy
Happiness is good for your health. A 2010 study
found that people with positive emotions were
about 20% less likely than their gloomier peers to
have a heart attack or develop heart disease.
Other research suggests that positive emotions
can make people more resilient and resourceful.

#8 — Go Back to School
No matter how old you are, heading back to the
classroom can help revamp your career, introduce
you to new friends, and even boost your
brainpower.

17. 2015
#8 — Go Back to School
A 2007 study found that middle-age adults who
had gone back to school (including night school)
sometime in the previous quarter century had
stronger memories and verbal skills than those
who did not. What’s more, several studies have
linked higher educational attainment to a
decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

18. 2015
#9 — Sleep More
You probably already know that a good night’s rest
can do wonders for your mood and appearance.
But sleep is more beneficial to your health than
you might realize.

19. 2015
#9 — Sleep More
A lack of sleep has been linked to a greater risk of
obesity and type 2 diabetes, and sleep is crucial
for strengthening memories. So take a nap — and
don’t feel guilty about it.

20. 2015
#10 — Travel Often
The joys and rewards of vacations can last long
after the suitcase is put away. "We can often get
stuck in a rut, and we can’t get out of our own
way," Kanaris says. "Everything becomes familiar
and too routine."

21. 2015
#10 — Travel Often
Traveling allows us to tap into life as an adventure,
and we can make changes in our lives without
having to do anything too bold or dramatic.
