2. Make raw nuts your snack of choice
When hunger pangs strike, it's too easy to
head to the vending machine or reach for
prepackaged sweets. To keep hunger at bay
and give your body wholesome nutrients
that truly satisfy, keep several jars of raw
nuts nearby for snacking. Just one or two
handfuls of raw nuts a day can help control
your caloric intake! Almonds, cashews,
hazelnuts, pecans - all are great options that
will fill you up without the extra oil and salt,
plus they keep your energy high.
3. Move more every day
You don't need to join a gym or make a
dramatic fitness goal - just resolve to move
around more every day, particularly if you
have a sedentary job. The average adult sits
for 15 hours a day, not including sleeping!
Take a walk over lunch, park in the back of
the parking lot or opt for the stairs over the
elevator; it all adds up when done daily. If
you find yourself forgetting, set an alarm on
your phone or computer to go off every two
hours as a reminder to take a 10-minute
move-and-groove break.
4. Take a Nordic Naturals omega-3
supplement

Commit to taking one supplement in the
new year: omega-3s. People all across the
world don't get enough omega-3, and
correcting this can drastically reduce the
risk of disease and mortality. A Harvard
study found up to 96,000 people in the
United States die each year from insufficient
omega-3 intake. Omega-3 fats impact every
single cell in the body and because they are
essential fatty acids, they can't be selfproduced and must come from your diet.
Select a pure omega-3 supplement like
Nordic Naturals, which is produced without
contaminants or impurities for superior
quality.
5. Turn off electronics and tune into life
Your health and wellness go beyond what
you eat and how much you exercise.
Modern life is busy, and it's easy to get
distracted by email and mobile devices.
Resolve to turn off your electronics at least
once a day to focus on two things: yourself
and your loved ones. It's easy to lose sight
of what's really important, like friends, kids,
your spouse and even you. Take time every
day to tune out of the electronic stimuli and
focus on things you're grateful for - perhaps
quiet moments by yourself, belly laughs
with your kids or a tender hug from your
partner.
