From coast to coast, January heralds the diet doctors, diet gurus and well, diet flimflammers from their offices, ashrams, and circus tents. True, the months of November and December are the signature months of overindulgence and a shove in the right direction toward healthier eating and better living is vital to many of us to get back in balance. However, a significant number of people are only helped temporarily by diets that are too cumbersome, too restrictive, or too expensive. Please consider embracing healthier eating and increasing your exercise in a seriously sustainable manner. Seek out and learn from your doctor which approach is suited to your health and fitness needs. Find practical solutions to increasing the number of vegetables in your daily dining and adding exercise at a pace that will allow you to build up your ability to exercise by slowly increasing the ability of your heart and lungs to keep up. Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!!
