5 Health Resolutions You Can Actually Keep This Year

It happens every year. The holiday slope begins with Halloween, and the next thing we know, we’re watching football in late November with a full belly and either eagerly participating in or even more blatantly refusing to shop on Black Friday. Before you know it, the holidays are over and you’ve eaten about 10 million sugar cookies (and no figgy puddings, yet again). Your belly is bloated and your mouth has that residual aftertaste of sugar. Through the fog of your sugar low, you vow to be super healthy in 2015: no carbs, no sugar, no coffee, no enjoyment of food whatsoever. Plus, you tell yourself that you’re definitely going to work out every day. Or at least, like, three times a week. 2015 is your year!

Then January 7 rolls around, and a quarter of resolutions made have been abandoned. By January 10, it’s a third. (And that is statistically accurate, so good luck making it to March!)

This year, focus on simple resolutions that are easy to keep. The foods that are good for your heart and your weight are also the foods that are good for your teeth. The plaque that you want to avoid in your arteries is the plaque that you can remove by brushing and flossing. The water that helps hydrate your skin and flush out toxins also keeps your breath fresh by keeping bacteria at bay. The cigarettes that are destroying your lungs are also destroying your gums and teeth. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the mouth is the window to the body.

With that said, here are five tips for keeping your mouth and your body healthy in 2015:

1. Brush twice a day for two minutes..................................clip
2. Floss!...............................
3. Drink more water................
4. Quit smoking...............
5. Eat healthy foods........................
