The first thing you can do to help you is drink a lot of water! It will help cleanse your system and get you turned around in the right direction. Remember\u201464 ounces a day or half your body weight in ounces of water daily.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Second\u2026and don\u2019t groan\u2026you need to exercise three to four days a week. Find something other than the boring treadmill that is different and that you like, such as kickboxing, TRX straps (invented by a former U.S. Navy Seal \u2013 here\u2019s <\/strong><\/a> a primer) or hot yoga. Group classes make it easier and more fun to stick with a regimen because you end up not wanting to let your classmates down if you ditch a class. Plus, you get much needed support! Bonus! When you\u2019re in shape, you will feel like you can leap off tall buildings! (Okay, sounds fun but don\u2019t!)<\/div>\n
Next, really take care your diet. Really. Dr. Agin, MONAT Scientific Advisory Board member, advises to eat a balanced diet: hydrate yourself and eat nutrient-dense foods (with the greatest amount and variety of nutrients) and minimally processed foods. This will help you look good from the inside out, as if you\u2019re glowing! Here\u2019s a great article, \u201cAdd more nutrient-dense foods to your diet<\/strong><\/a>\u201d from Harvard Health Publishing\/Harvard Medical School that will get you on the right path. And we can all use some help there!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In fact, eat like you\u2019re on vacation. A dinner of broiled fish and fresh vegetables looks the same anywhere. Take time to enjoy what you eat. In fact, pretend you\u2019re overlooking the sea and try eating the Mediterranean way, with heart-healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants in foods like hummus, olive oil and feta. The Mediterranean diet has been proven to not only keep you slim but help lower your risk for heart disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.1<\/sup> If you want to get started on a healthier way of eating, here\u2019s a great overview \u2013 10 Things to Know About the Mediterranean<\/strong><\/a>.<\/div>\n
Finally, if you really want to put the holidays behind you and get back on a healthier way of living, make sure you get good sleep, adds Dr. Agin, member of MONAT\u2019s Scientific Board. This is something the body must have to recover, heal and function at its best! So healthy year here we come!<\/div>\n
