Guide to healthy New Year in 2020: These small changes are better than big resolutions - The Cincinnati Enquirer

Saying goodbye to another year means welcoming new opportunities to improve our health and wellness, incorporating better habits and routines in the year ahead. Forgo the big resolutions in exchange for a list of small changes that can add up to making a positive impact on your life. Here’s your guide to refresh and renew in 2020.

1. Get outside

Going outdoors might seem like the last thing you want to do when the temperature plummets, however, one reason to head out is that natural sunlight increases the release of serotonin, which is known as the happy hormone. Bundle up with the appropriate clothing and have no need to fear the elements. 

2. Cook more at home

Instead of eating another meal out, think about stocking your pantry with healthy, vibrant vegetables and whole foods and cooking at home. With "The Gut Friendly Cookbook," you can make delicious, satisfying and simple dishes that support your digestive health.  With over 100 recipes and ideas on how to make easy swaps, author Alana Scott addresses those who might struggle with IBS, celiac disease or multiple food allergies.  amazon.com.

3. Get more sleep

Create a sanctuary where you sleep by eliminating tech devices and any work-related items in your sleep space. Your bedroom should be a place that feels calm and relaxing to signal your mind and body it’s time to rest and renew. Invest in the TRUBlanket LUX, a 60”x80” weighted blanket set in 15 or 20 pounds, with a breathable cooling inner 400 thread count cotton blanket. Infused with real glass beads, TRUBlanket makes you feel like you are getting a full-body hug. The warm and cozy, cocoon-like feel can help with sleep issues, restless leg syndrome, muscle aches, autism and more.  trulitebedding.com.

4. Make exercise enjoyable

Instead of dragging your feet through each workout, hoping it will end soon, find exercises that challenge and invigorate. Whether it is signing up for a gym membership or buying passes at a studio, commit to a set plan of days to work out. If you have enough space in your garage or basement, think about creating a home gym. A workout space within your house doesn’t need to be expensive – you don’t need to get fancy equipment. Invest in key props that you will use in your exercise regimen such as dumbbells, weights, yoga mats and some resistance bands.

5. Spend time with family and friends

With everyone’s busy schedules and hectic lives, it might seem time is a scarce commodity, but be sure to spend time with family and friends. Take your accrued vacation days instead of letting them go to waste. The more time you take to do the things you enjoy and be with the people you love will benefit your health in the long run.  Ultimately, it will allow you to be more productive at work, creating a balance.

6. Healthy snacks on the go

If you are like most Americans, you might have limited time to sit down for a proper meal. During busy days, whether at the office or during travel, make sure to have healthy meal options on hand to avoid cracking and binging on fast food. Patagonia Provisions offers an array of responsibly sourced seafood such as wild sockeye and pink salmon along with mackerel and mussels. These are excellent sources of protein and can be paired with crackers and cheese or placed over salad greens for an easy lunch or dinner. patagoniaprovisions.com.

TaDah! Falafel Wraps are high-quality, East Mediterranean cuisine in four flavors that can be easily heated up whether you are looking for a full meal or snack. Made with a blend of chickpeas, fresh herbs and aromatic spices, everything is hand-rolled with a soft whole-wheat tortilla. The company also offers Falafel Poppers, which are bite-sized treats stuffed with hummus. tadahfoods.com.

7. Save money on your coffee fix

With Steeped Coffee, you can now make gourmet coffee at home in minutes. What sets Steeped Coffee apart is it’s a proprietary brewing method that does not require machines or brewing equipment, much like tea. The coffee comes in single-serve bags that are nitro-sealed to ensure absolute freshness. 

All it takes to brew a perfect cup is hot water and a few minutes, and at the end of the day, there are no wasteful plastic pods accumulating in waterways or landfills. So, skip the line at Starbucks and put that dough into, perhaps, a vacation fund?  steepedcoffee.com.

8. Take care of your skin

Babe and Body’s Shower Yoga was designed with mothers in mind. It is a Zen inspiring muscle and joint relief scrub that combines the powers of Dead Sea salt and magnesium while infusing the soothing scents of lemon and lavender. This new line of products is formulated with all-natural, soothing ingredients that address every stage of motherhood. babeandbody.com.
