5 New Year’s Resolutions for a
Happy – and Healthy – 2019
Johns Hopkins experts have some advice to help you make your healthy
resolutions for 2019.
1. Pay attention when you eat. Eating when you’re distracted leads
to overeating. Take time to slow down and pay attention to your food,
even pausing to put down utensils between bites. “When you eat
mindfully, it’s easier to notice when you feel full, plus you’re more likely to
enjoy the foods you eat,” says Johns Hopkins dietitian and research
nutritionist Diane Vizthum.
2. Be cool and rest up. According to Johns Hopkins sleep expert
Outstanding Client
Of The Month ! Rachel Salas, M.D., when it’s time to sleep, it’s time to be cool – literally.
Lowering the thermostat to 68 degrees or lower before you tuck into bed
can help you sleep better. Darken your room by drawing the curtains or
dimming the display on your alarm clock to get quality sleep.

a grateful journal is a way to shift your focus and minimize the distorting
influence of stress. Reminding ourselves of the small, everyday positive
aspects of our lives helps to develop a sense of balance and perspective
that can enhance well-being,” says Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Susan
Lehmann, M.D.
4. 30-minutes a day of walking. If you’ve got a busy schedule, take
three 10-minute walks throughout your day. “That’s 10 minutes before
work, 10 minutes at lunch and then 10 minutes after work. Make it fun!
Grab a partner at work to get you through your lunch routine. Then have a
friend or family member meet you for an evening stroll,” suggests Johns
Hopkins physical therapist Stacie Page.
5. The little things make a big difference. Making small, daily
changes such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator may
seem small, but they can make a big difference for your heart in
the long run. “Individuals who are physically active are much less
likely to develop cardiovascular disease” says Johns Hopkins
cardiologist Chiadi E. Ndumele, M.D., M.H.S.
As always, we suggest you speak with your doctor before beginning your
journey to a healthier you.
