1. Reduce Your Stress Levels

Stress does not have to be an integral part of modern life, as so many people seem to believe it is. No matter how much you have to deal with, you can find ways to experience less stress. Spending just ten minutes practising meditation or breathing techniques, spending time with a beloved pet, or soaking in a hot tub, will help you relax and reduce stress levels significantly.

2. Get More Quality Sleep

A shortage of sleep is a major contributor to stress. Most of us don’t get the sleep we need. We all need at least six hours of sleep per night – eight hours is ideal. If you are consistently sleep-deprived, make a commitment to getting to bed early – even just an extra 15 minutes will make a positive difference. Set a regular sleep and wake-up schedule and stick to it. By doing this, you will reduce your risk of strokes and heart attacks.

3. Correct Your Posture

This year, take careful note of how you are sitting while doing your everyday tasks. Straighten your back, suck in your stomach and place your feet flat on the ground. Reconsider the ergonomics of your work station. Do you need to invest in a new chair or keyboard? Make these investments in your health this year.

4. Drink A Little Red Wine

This is by no means a licence to overindulge, but studies show that a small amount of red wine (1-2 small glasses), even on a daily basis, can protect your against the risks of heart disease, colon cancer, anxiety and depression.

5. Swap Just A Few Foods in Your Diet

You don’t have to go on strict diet to get healthy. Just start by substituting a few of the things you regularly eat with healthier alternatives. For example, if you eat white bread, rice and pasta, swap them out for wholegrain alternatives. Are you a meat eater? No problem, but choose leaner options, like skinless chicken or lean steak.
