A NEWYEAR, A NEWYOU! What are your resolutions?

What Are You Going To Do For You in 2019? Often when we think about getting healthier, we think about what we must take away or deprive ourselves of, or that we need to do something big and bold to make a difference. But studies have shown that over the long term, it’s hard to keep motivated with large changes. At VCSST, we are committed to helping you to feel, move, play, and live better. We want you to make positive changes in your life and not allow discomfort or dysfunction to rob you of this. In 2019, we challenge you to add one simple thing to your life each month. We’re calling it “12 steps to a healthier you!” It doesn’t have to be anything earth shattering, and nothing that will derail you by its complexity. Perhaps you’re are already doing some of these things - great! But if not, we urge you to give it a try. Small things performed regularly often add up to big long- term changes. As the year goes on, we hope to get feedback to see how people are doing as well as any suggestions.

The average healthy adult actually only needs 30-50 ounces of water per day (not the 8-12 glasses that has been popularized). Some exceptions to this rule are when exercising, especially during hotter months like the summer, and for elderly individuals.
