2023 is right around the corner and so are New Year’s Resolutions. According to Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson, bestselling author of Vibrant: A Groundbreaking Program to Get Energized, Own Your Health, and Glow and a recognized leader in functional medicine, this is the best time to make easy, practical changes that will support a healthier, longer life.
Dr. Stephenson can share how to make 2023 your healthiest year yet with the following resolutions:
- Doing less. Stress contributes to physical and mental health issues. It’s a killer! We can’t ever let it all go, but spend some time before January 1 figuring out what is and is not worth your time and energy.
- Eating more vegetables. Forget all the things you shouldn’t eat. Instead, focus on the good stuff. Resolve to add more vegetables to your diet every day. This one change can greatly increase your intake of nutrients and fiber, both of which are great for your overall health and the health of the beneficial microbes in your microbiome, and that can translate to stronger immunity and even a happier mood.
- Cutting your alcohol in half. Alcohol consumption can increase your risk of high blood pressure, liver disease, cancers of the digestive tract, stroke, and heart disease, as well as possibly hastening dementia and blunting cognitive function. Start slow by cutting down by 50%.
