New Health Resolutions for 2014

Making small health changes can be easy!

Print these Health Resolutions, stick them on your fridge, bathroom mirror, kid’s forehead or your dashboard, wherever you’ll notice it.. Studies show that living by the 80% good and 20% bad rule, proves the most successful in living a health focused lifestyle. Losing weight also becomes easier as you take the pressure off by allowing yourself a little cheat now and again.

Balance is the key to health and we owe it to ourselves to strive towards it. Not too much work, play, alcohol or chocolate. Even too much vitamin C is bad.. Each year end we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, to make positive changes. And sometimes we set “over the top” goals like climbing a mountain, when you are barely getting more than 20 minutes of exercise per week. Reality checks can help with perspective so you don’t set yourself up for disappointment.

This list will help you to start small. Tweaking things here and there, which will directly impact how you feel about yourself, come the next year end. The Bellabaci Team have rounded up the best of them for you.

Telling a friend or loved one of what you have decided on changing or achieving, is an easy way to stick to your goals. When you are accountable to someone, they will remind you every so often and maybe give you some motivation to put you back on track.
