稍微改變一下你的飲食

Going on a diet is another common resolution. But if you try to overhaul your diet completely, chances are you'll default to old habits quickly. You'll have much better luck if you start small.

節(jié)食是另一個常見的解決方法。但如果你試圖徹底改變你的飲食習(xí)慣，你可能很快就會恢復(fù)舊習(xí)慣。如果你從小處著手，你會有更好的運氣。

Try making gradual diet changes like adding one more fruit or vegetable to your daily diet. Or try eating less meat and sugar. Once you conquer one small change, see if you can add another.

試著逐漸改變飲食習(xí)慣，比如每天多吃一份水果或蔬菜。或者少吃點肉和糖。一旦你克服了一個小的改變，看看你能否再增加一個。

Go outside

外出

Everyone knows that being in nature is good for your health. So make time to get outside. Just a simple walk in the woods boosts your well-being and has benefits from better sleep to lower stress. One study even found that walking in a park can give you the same feel-good sensations as Christmas.

每個人都知道在大自然中對你的健康有好處。所以，找時間出去走走吧。僅僅是在樹林里散步就能提升你的幸福感，并從更好的睡眠和更少的壓力中受益。一項研究甚至發(fā)現(xiàn)，在公園散步能給你和圣誕節(jié)一樣的感覺。

If you don't have time to head to the park, try taking a walk at lunch. A lunchtime stroll can immediately improve your mood, increase relaxation and make you more enthusiastic about your work.

如果你沒有時間去公園，試著在午餐時間散散步。午餐時間的散步可以立刻改善你的情緒，增加放松，讓你對工作更有熱情。

Get a pet (or spend time with the one you have)

養(yǎng)寵物(或者和你的寵物呆在一起)

Dogs and cats are good for your health. If you have a pet, you know that great feeling when they crawl up in your lap or you go for a walk or play a game of fetch. Study after study shows how pets are good for everything from your heart health and longevity to your fitness and social life.

狗和貓對你的健康有好處。如果你有一只寵物，當(dāng)它們爬到你的腿上，或者你出去散步，或者玩撿東西的游戲時，你會體會到那種很棒的感覺。一項又一項研究表明，寵物對心臟健康、長壽、健康和社交生活等方方面面都有好處。

If you don't have a pet, consider getting one or at least maybe foster one or volunteer at a local shelter. If you do have a pet, dedicate yourself to spending more time with your four-legged pal.

如果你沒有養(yǎng)寵物，可以考慮養(yǎng)一只，或者至少收養(yǎng)一只，或者在當(dāng)?shù)氐膭游锸杖菟鲋驹刚?。如果你有寵物，那就花更多的時間和你的四條腿的朋友在一起。

Get better sleep

獲得更好的睡眠

Just going to bed earlier or trying to sleep in longer doesn't count for getting better rest. You have to work on your sleep routine in order to wake up feeling amazing.

只是早點上床或者盡量多睡一會兒并不代表你能得到更好的休息。為了讓你醒來的時候感覺很棒，你必須調(diào)整你的睡眠規(guī)律。

Make your bedroom inviting with comfortable sheets and no electronics. Have a nighttime ritual and go to bed and wake up at the same time — even on weekends. Don't nap during the day and watch your caffeine. Be smart about exercise late in the day and consider whether your pet should be sharing your space.

讓你的臥室充滿舒適的床單，沒有電子設(shè)備。有一個晚上的習(xí)慣，在同一時間睡覺和起床——即使是在周末。白天不要打盹，注意你的咖啡因。在一天的晚些時候，明智地對待運動，并考慮你的寵物是否應(yīng)該與你共享空間。

Stand up

站起來

If you sit at a desk most of the day, it's easy to forget to get up and take a break. But sedentary behavior like sitting at a computer or watching TV for hours on end is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, among other problems.

如果你一天大部分時間都坐在辦公桌前，很容易忘記起身休息。但久坐不動的行為，如長時間坐在電腦前或看電視，會增加患心臟病和糖尿病等疾病的風(fēng)險。

Just because you exercise at the beginning or end of the day, that doesn't offset sitting for nearly eight or nine hours straight. The best thing to do is take lots of breaks throughout the day or consider a standing desk.

僅僅因為你在一天的開始或結(jié)束時進行了鍛煉，并不會抵消你連續(xù)坐了近8或9個小時的影響。最好的辦法是一天中多休息，或者考慮使用立式辦公桌。
