If one of your New Years' resolutions is going to be to " better", making a simple change to WHERE you eat will make a lasting difference. Eat at HOME! Regularly eating out makes it very difficult to eat well (ordering in does not count!)

Don’t let the of trying to stick to your usual eating and exercising schedule get in the way of a well-deserved holiday. Indulge a little, but that’s the key: a little. This way you won’t feel completely deprived, and not completely depraved either!

Things are busy at this time of year, and emotions can run high. If you're feeling frazzled, now is not the time to skimp on . Losing just a couple hours of sleep at night makes you angrier, especially in frustrating situations http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge0000522

When on leave, make it a point to NOT sit in front of your TV all day. increases blood flow to the brain, bringing with it extra oxygen and nutrients to tired brain cells

The best way to recharge over the holidays? Unplug and get more . Aim to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day to allow your brain to fully rest and recover

Even if you're not taking leave over the next few weeks, schedule in some downtime. This replenishes the ’s stores of attention and motivation and encourages productivity and creativity

This holiday, aim to include some family (non digital) games into the mix. People who spending time playing card and board games are more likely to stay mentally sharp later in life http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/geronb/gbz149

Embrace carrying those heavy Christmas shopping bags! Lifting weights for less than an hour a week may reduce your risk for a attack or by 40 to 70% http://dx.doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0000000000001822

Whether it’s reading, singing, or just playing with your dog, take a moment to take inventory of what makes you feel most . Then find a way to do more of that thing every day, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. Head into 2023 with less , and more joy!

When planning your 2023 resolutions, make sure you put yourself at the top of the list. The past 3 years have been tough, puts they've also forced us to put a few things into perspective. What is more important than your health?

A break doesn't mean a break in healthy habits. The holidays are about spending time with the people we love, creating memories and celebrating traditions. Find things to do with your loved ones that don’t revolve around food or your couch

This may be a time for giving, but don't forget to give yourself some attention too! Empower yourself this holiday with habits! Get yourself into a good routine that you can maintain into 2023
