Top 10 Better Health Resolutions For You

International Sports Sciences Association ( ISSA ) polled their member database -- nearly 100,000 health and fitness professionals strong -- for their top recommendations for the 10 best things their clients can do to improve their health in the year ahead. Here are the results of that survey:

1. Drink more water


2. Lift weights


3. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night


4. Eat less processed food


5. Eat 5 servings of veggies daily


6. Eat more protein


7. Get a doctor's physical


8. Eat 5 servings of fruit daily


9. Stretch


10. Don't drink sugary sodas

With that all said, you cannot take on all these resolutions at once! If you do, your likelihood of success is comparable to that of Michael Jackson being hired as a kindergarten teacher.

Pick 3 that are realistic and achievable for where you currently are in your life. Reassess in March, and add another one or two if you are doing well on the original 3. Take inventory again on your resolutions in June and one more time in September.

I have personally ranked ISSA's 10 resolutions from what I consider to be easy tomost difficult.Good Luck!
