Make over your life with these suggestions for your best
year ever!
1. Try a
3-week detox! Get the stimulants, depressants, gunk and potential
allergens out of your diet, including: gluten, dairy, sugar, coffee, alcohol,
trans-fatty acids, unfermented soy and corn – then pay attention to how
you feel when you re-introduce each of these foods (one at a time every 2-3
days).

2. Improve
your sleep! No Technology after 8 pm, instead wind down in a warm
bath, spend time with family or read. Get in bed before 10 pm and sleep in
complete darkness; No caffeine after noon to ensure at least 7-8 hours of
restorative sleep.

3. De-clutter! Throw
out 50 things you do not find useful or beautiful. Open up to new possibilities
and simplify your life so you don’t waste valuable energy and time taking care
of things that you do not need or want.

4. Exercise! Walk
for at least 20 minutes every day – preferably in nature, but a treadmill will
do if the weather is frightful. Stretch or take a yoga/pilates class at least a
couple times a week for flexibility. Make sure you also do resistance strength
training at least a couple times a week for anti-aging benefits, to maintain
muscle and bone mass.

5. Clean
up your environment! Get as many chemicals out of your life as
possible, whether they are in cleaning supplies (use vinegar instead of toxic
solutions) or personal care products (look for paraben and phthalate free as a
start). Check out www.EWG.org for more information
about what to avoid.

6. Make
green vegetables a diet staple! Also, eat at least one big, raw salad

9. Improve
your mental health! Choose your battles – be happy and let some stuff
go since your health will pay the price when you get upset or angry on a
regular basis. Find ways to de-stress, including spending time with a furry
friend (and if you do not have one, consider visiting a shelter and giving an
animal a happy home), deep breathing or meditation.

10. Have an
attitude of gratitude! Every night before bed, reflect on your day and
write down at least three things for which you are grateful.

12. Get lots of antioxidants! Green or
white tea and colourful fruits and vegetables supply beneficial phytonutrients.
Science does not yet know the extent these contribute to our health but they
promote a healthy glow, so if you want to look great, eat as many varieties as
you can.
