Dr. Van Treese, DDS and his entire team want to wish you a happy and healthy new year. We know that many people resolve to be healthier in the new year. If this is the case for you, we want to offer some help. Below, Dr. Van Treese lists a few hints to help you get on the right track in the new year!

Tip #1: Eat Breakfast

Breakfast is imperative to a good start to the day. Saying it’s the most important meal of the day isn’t just to sell more eggs and bacon. Eating breakfast will give you more energy during the morning and keep you from overeating at lunch, which causes that afternoon “crash.”

Tip #2: Lose Weight

More than one in three Americans are considered to be obese. If you are one of these people, you should try to start getting your weight under control. What is important is finding an activity you love doing (walking, running, biking, rowing, playing basketball, weight lifting, etc.) and stick to it. Additionally, you should start watching your calorie intake more carefully. You don’t need to do some glamorous diet to lose weight. The formula is simply: burn more calories than you take in and give it time!  

Tip #3: Sleep More

Do you often find yourself lacking energy, or in a bad mood? A key factor in reversing this is to get a full eight hours of sleep every night. By doing this, you should see a boost in energy, an improvement in your mood and many other health benefits. In addition to getting more sleep, start exercising. Exercising causes a release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. Combining sleep and exercise should result in a drastic increase in energy and a boost in your mood.

Dr. Van Treese hopes that these hints will help you lead a healthier and more fulfilling life in 2017! Another tip for a healthier life is to visit the dentist in 2017.
