By Virginia Laird

Are your health issues controlling your life? Although some health concerns may not be serious, they can still seem overwhelming. Wellness professionals encourage those who struggle to take control of their health, to consider setting simple resolutions to help with the motivation to stay on task. Research suggests those who make annual resolutions are far more likely to accomplish their goals than those who haphazardly have the desire but lack the follow-through. A few suggestions offered for consideration to help you take control of your health include:

  • Eat well-balanced meals
  • Pack a lunch daily
  • Make sure to get plenty of sleep

Eat Well-Balanced Meals

Health and wellness experts remind those getting ready to embark on a journey to improve health to begin with a well-balanced diet. Research suggests that exercise, although wise, does not offer results alone. Getting healthy is 90 percent what you eat. Making certain your meals are well-balanced should mean each includes vegetables, a lean protein, and a few good carbs. Once you commit to eating a well-balanced diet, you may be able to notice a few changes in your health in a short period of time.

Pack a Lunch Daily

Eating out for lunch may be easy, but packing a lunch is better for your health. Taking your lunch allows you to make healthy choices rather than falling victim to whatever is available at the eating establishment of choice. It is important to pack a well-balanced lunch, which should include some veggies and lean protein. Preparing to take your lunch can seem dreadful in the beginning, but after a short time, you will be glad you made this change.

Make Sure to Get Plenty of Sleep

Sleep is a powerful tool when trying to improve your health. Research suggests that many do not get enough rest on a regular basis. Sleep experts suggest that adults should get a minimum of six hours of sleep each night. Without enough sleep, the body in more vulnerable to illness. Start today going to bed when you first feel tired; you will be glad you did!
