The new year is always filled with ads from gyms and diet companies that seem to prey on those with the resolution to get healthy. Statistically, gyms are busiest in January as the regulars mix with the newcomers, who are trying to stick with their resolution. Inevitably, gyms do clear out after a month or two as people give up and vow to try again next year. While a brand new year is a great excuse (and possibly a needed motivation) to make a change, the reality is that it's always a good time to work on yourself. Furthermore, it's never too late to make healthy changes in your lifestyle. As NPR recently reported, even people in their 90s and beyond should welcome the idea of a wellness routine. In this post, we'll share simple tips and tricks that people of all ages can do to make their lives healthier and keep it that way.
