13 UNPLUG 9 GET NUTTY


Incorporate more nuts and seeds into your diet. Try this recipe:


Rosemary-Spiced Walnuts: Place 2 cups raw walnuts in a medium bowl and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, ¼ to ½ tsp kosher salt, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper to fully


coat. Transfer to a baking sheet and spread the nuts out in a single layer. Bake in an oven set at 400˚F for 8-10 minutes.


10 GET MORE SLEEP


Start small by adding 10 to 15 more minutes each night until you work up to an hour. Your


ultimate goal: 7 to 8 hours a night (what most experts recommend for optimal health).


11 LOVE THE NOW


So many of us focus on the future, feeling anxious about situations we can’t control, or we are stuck in the past, lamenting about things that have already happened. Focus on being present in the moment and appreciating that feeling.


12 STRETCH


Taking time to stretch throughout the day increases flexibility, boosts energy, improves posture, relieves stress and makes you feel better


overall. Sign up for a yoga class, use a foam roller or do some simple stretches before you get out of bed.


Disconnect from all technology by putting away the phone, powering down the computer, turning off the TV and instead, connect with your


loved ones. Real human connection is vital! Or enjoy solo time and self- reflection by decompressing with a good book or a nice hot bath.

INDULGE IN BETTER-FOR- YOU DESSERTS.


Enjoy healthier versions of your favorite treats. For instance, I make a banana cream pie by simply mashing ripe bananas


with vanilla yogurt. I also make a 2-ingredient crunch bar featuring dark chocolate and crispy brown rice cereal. You get the idea!


15 GO FISH


Eat heart-healthy fish twice a week to reduce your risk for heart disease and boost brain health. Try salmon, sardines, canned light tuna and tilapia.


OUTDOORS IN NATURE SPEND TIME 16


Find a new hiking spot, a biking trail, outdoor cafe, or anything else that gets you excited to go outside. A little chilly out? Take a quick, brisk walk around the block. Even a few minutes can


reinvigorate and refresh you. 17


IMPLEMENT GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE.


A beautiful smile isn’t the only perk of taking care of your pearly whites. It also benefits your heart. Brush twice a day, floss daily and visit your dentist regularly.


21 VEGGIES


INCORPORATE into each meal


Add onions or peppers into


your omelet. Toss tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots and beets into your salad. Enjoy green beans, broccoli or spinach with your entrée at dinner.

19 BE KIND TO YOURSELF


Write a letter to yourself at the end of each month highlighting your good points and celebrating


your accomplishments. Jot it down on beautiful stationery and hang it on your fridge so you see it often throughout the day.


20 TO OTHERS BE KIND Pay for someone else’s coffee.


Let someone in line ahead of you. Donate to or volunteer for a cause you believe in. Doing good deeds


not only benefits others, but it also makes you feel good—a two-for- one shot of goodness!
