原文
But resolutions, lofty as they may be, can turn daunting quickly with all the advice and sometimes contradicting information coming at you.
But they don’t have to be.
The good news is that the experts mostly say to keep it simple.
Protein and fiber are important, but you probably don’t need to pay more.
When it comes to your diet, experts say most people can skip the upcharge.
If you’re eating enough, you’re probably getting enough protein and don’t need products that promise some big boost.
A good skin care routine is not expensive or complicated.
Stay away from the beef tallow and slather on a good sunscreen instead.
There are many simple ways to get that workout in.
If the gym and all its equipment feel intimidating, you can drop the illusion that a good workout requires either.
This year, the comeback of calisthenics put the focus back on no-frills, bodyweight workouts you can do in the comfort of home.
To improve your health, go back to the basics:
Whether you’re in the city or the country — walk more.
Take steps to get certain health metrics under control, like high blood pressure, which often goes undiagnosed and is known to cause a range of health problems down the road.
Give your mind some care too.
These lifestyle changes don’t just make you feel better in the moment.
Research shows they impact your life for years to come.
