"Experts Weigh In: Sustainable Health Choices Over Restrictive New Year's Diets"

Dan Buettner, a researcher of Blue Zones—areas where people live longer, healthier lives—advises against traditional New Year's diet resolutions. Instead, he suggests learning to cook healthy, whole food, plant-based meals that you enjoy, such as minestrone soup, gallo pinto, or chanpurū stir fry. Buettner recommends spending Sundays in January to cook three new recipes each week with family, which not only improves cooking skills and meal variety but also ensures the meals are enjoyable and satisfying. This approach aligns with the Blue Zones' secret to longevity, which involves making healthy eating a pleasurable and sustainable part of one's lifestyle.

"Boost Fitness with Quick 'Exercise Snacks' in the New Year"

Incorporating short bursts of physical activity, or "movement snacks," into your daily routine can help improve overall health and serve as an accessible way to boost fitness, especially for those struggling to maintain a consistent exercise regimen. Research from McMasters University suggests that even 20-second vigorous activities like stair climbing can enhance cardiorespiratory fitness. These exercise snacks can be easily added to existing habits, such as taking a break from work or while waiting for coffee, and should involve a variety of movements to engage major muscle groups and elevate heart rate. While not a replacement for longer workout sessions, movement snacks can be a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle.
