Welcome to 2020! It is a new year, which means it is also a fresh start on living a healthier life.

Our team at AFC Urgent Care Lake Oswego wants you to know how you can start living a healthier lifestyle as soon as possible! Read on as we offer some tips.

What Steps Can You Take to Live a Healthier Life?

When living a healthy lifestyle, you want to make sure you start with the basics, which include exercising on a regular basis and eating a balanced diet.

Aim to eat a diet filled with plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grain. Limit your intake of saturated fat and added sugar and salt. Exercise for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week, aiming for at least 150 minutes per week.

Superfoods to Add to Your Diet

• Berries
• Fish
• Leafy greens
• Nuts
• Olive oil
• Whole grains
• Yogurt
• Cruciferous vegetables

What Percentage of Resolutions Are Kept in the United States?

Well, the unfortunate reality is that most people do not achieve their resolutions—they often give up on them far short of the goal. In fact, more than 80% of people who make New Year’s resolutions drop them around the second week of February.

But that doesn’t have to be the case! Set yourself up for success by breaking your resolution into smaller, bite-size goals that are more attainable. Celebrate your successes along the way, and make yourself a priority.
