    By Dr. Mercola

    Happy New Year! Have you made any New Year's resolutions yet? About half of Americans make them, but by the time February or March rolls around, many have already abandoned their efforts.

    Overall, it's estimated that 92 percent of Americans fail to achieve the goals they commit to on New Year's Day.1 For this reason, I propose making a commitment to simply make healthier choices and live better this year.

    Changing your lifestyle is an ongoing process, and not something you can achieve overnight or even in a few weeks. Rather, it's a lifetime plan that you stick with over the long haul.

    10 Healthy Lifestyle Strategies to Implement in 2017

    Are you ready to start fresh in 2017? Then read on. The 10 positive changes that follow are the crème de la crème of lifestyle strategies that will allow you to live a longer, healthier life, boosting your happiness and well-being all the while.

    1. Give up soda

    2. Eat an avocado every day

    3. Make fermented vegetables with family or friends

    4. Donate blood and test your vitamin D and Omega-3 levels

    5. Get more consistent and regular movement into your life

    6. Eat more fish

    7. Go American grass-fed certified

    8. Start Peak Fasting

    9. Get eight hours of sleep every night

    10. Eat more fiber

    Making a Plan for Life


    Remember, most New Year's resolutions fail for one reason or another. So, this year, try making a simple commitment to live healthier from here on out. Start small and go slow, as little changes can make a big overall difference in your health. And, when you commit to a lifestyle, it's no longer about meeting a particular goal, like losing 10 pounds. It's about living a little bit differently, a little bit better, so that ultimately you're happier and healthier for it.

    Gave up soda many years ago. Eat a lot of fish and take d-vitamins. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. I eat a lot of vegetables and whole grain foods where applicable.

    Got some new shoes a couple of weeks ago and that improved my running speed. Did three 4-minute intervals on the treadmill today, at an average speed of 8.25 mph. Or 13.25 km/h. Heart rate went up to 92% of max. Bodyweight is 193 pounds so jumping to the basketball rim should be no problem. Strength levels are good with weighted dips and pullups and also pistol squats after every other run.

    How is everyone else doing ?
