Your team at NSAC is here to help.

Have you made numerous New Year's resolutions in the past that have gone unfulfilled? Haven't we all? For some reason, at the beginning of each year, we make these unrealistic resolutions to better ourselves only to end up disappointed and depressed when we aren't successful. Don't do that in 2017. Let your team at NSAC help you seek more realistic goals that lead to a healthier, more peaceful life. Try these New Year's resolutions for a healthier, happier you!

Head to NSAC. As a full-service fitness gym and health and wellness center, New Smyrna Athletic Club has a team of personal trainers and class instructors to help you reach your individual, REALISTIC goals. We will design a program for you that is both fun and achievable. You'll feel great doing it, and it won't be long before you notice the results.

Eat a healthy diet. Make small, yet meaningful changes to your diet. Reduce sodium intake by opting for low or no-sodium foods. Sodium contributes to high blood pressure and causes that familiar, uncomfortable bloating we have all experienced. You may also want to add antioxidants to your diet to help fight cancer, inflammation, and heart disease. Potatoes, beans, cherries, apples, plums, and even chocolate contain antioxidants. Yum!

Toss out the white bread and pasta and switch to whole grain breads, pasta, rice and cereals. Along with assisting with weight management, whole grains help reduce the risk of stroke, type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and high blood pressure, as well as other health issues.

And, of course, increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide us with all those necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function and look their best.

Reserve some ME time. We are constantly on the go with work and family. Our lives are so busy. It's easy to become overwhelmed and exhausted. Your most important New Year's Resolution must be to take care of yourself. Go ahead and reserve some time to relax and unwind...at the gym, the beach, or at home with a good book. Commit to treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated.

You don't have to dread making New Year's Resolutions in 2017. Commit to these sensible, realistic resolutions and enjoy a safe, healthy, prosperous New Year
