Best & Worst Resolutions

To stick or ditch: Here's what's worth your time and energy in the new year.

For Your Diet

Best Resolution: To make a healthier grocery list.
To help maintain weight and ward off illness, "stock your fridge with plenty of fibrous, vitamin- and antioxidant-rich colored vegetables and fruits," says Wahida Karmally, DrPH, RD, director of nutrition at the Irving Center for Clinical Research at Columbia University Medical Center.

Worst Resolution: To purchase foods just because the label reads "organic."
"While they are better for the earth, they're often no more nutritious than nonorganic items," says Karmally. "All it means is, they were exposed to fewer pesticides and chemicals."

Definitely the best time of year to get healthy and make better choices! I'm clean up my life starting with my diet and the foods I eat as well. I'm going to eat more nutritious and healthier foods by following the Eat-Clean Diet, just finished reading Tosca Reno's book on the Eat-Clean Diet and this is how I'm kick-starting 2010, by eating clean and working out more! I didn't buy that gym membership card to take up space in my purse; it's time right now to get going! Good luck to all! :)
