Jan 28, 2016 /prREACH/ -- Hot Spring Spas of Minnesota, a hot tub dealer selling new and used hot tubs, portable spas, swim spas and saunas publishes “Three Tips for a Healthier New Year.”
“According to the Statistic Brain Institute, 62% of all people are likely to make New Year’s resolutions. Of those, only 8% will actually succeed,” said Randall Long, general manager, twin cities. “One of the reasons for such catastrophic failure rates is that people tend to romanticize or over-reach when making New Year’s goals.”
“The best way to make New Year’s vows that last is to keep them simple and make them gradually. Jumping head long into a huge endeavor is likely to fail since it is hard to be prepared for a complete upheaval,” continued Long. “Taking little steps toward bigger improvements are much more likely to last.”
Here are three tips for a healthier New Year that can be done gradually and add to a bigger plan for continued health and happiness.
Cut Back on Sugar – Instead of making a broad, general resolution to lose weight, or even to lose a certain amount of weight, make a vow to change one aspect of diet or nutrition that will make an impact, help reduce weight and add to a healthier lifestyle. One of the best ways to achieve that is to cut sugar out of all areas of the daily diet.
Too much sugar can lead to a plethora of serious illnesses including diabetes and heart disease and is present in many common foods. It is hidden in foods by calling it corn syrup, lactose, glucose, sucrose or other names, so it can be tricky to eliminate without paying attention.
The worst part about sugar is it is so addictive. Eating a little makes people crave more and more. While that may seem scary and insurmountable, the good thing is that even going without sugar for a week can wean people off of the taste and break the sugar addiction. So a good vow to start off the New Year would be to cut back on sugar from the daily nutrition plan for an entire week. Once that week is over, it is often very easy to just continue on without it.
Get Enough Sleep – There’s a lot to do every day, and too often people let sleep suffer in order to get it all done. However, losing too much sleep can cause an inability to pay attention, reduces alertness, concentration and makes it hard to solve even the easiest problems.
People who do not get enough sleep often fret over the smallest of issues, because they seem insurmountable, when really, if they were more alert they would see it isn’t a problem at all. Sleep is important for people of all ages, so the vow to get at least eight hours of sleep a night is a great New Year’s resolution for anyone to make.
Get Rid of Stress – According to the National Institute of Mental Health, stress is simply a reaction to demand. Most people would agree there are a lot of things that demand their attention every day, and that leads to stress.
Stress, however, as simple as it is, has some very serious ramifications on health. It causes blood pressure problems, leads to obesity, increases the chances of stroke or heart disease and affects anyone of any age or sex. Make a New Year’s resolution to spend time relieving stress every day.
Adding a Minneapolis hot tub to the yard or patio will help every member of the household take advantage of the soothing, warm waters of a proven stress relief method. According to a study by Mayo Clinic researcher Thomas G. Allison, M.P.H., Ph.D., soaking for 30 minutes a day in a hot tub lowers blood pressure and relieves anxiety and stress.
