Massage Envy DFW

Along with saving money and losing weight, developing a healthy habit is one of the top three New Year’s resolutions that Americans make.

Unfortunately, 77 percent of resolution makers are resolution breakers, according to a FranklinCovey study. Get back on track by following these baby-step resolutions:

Get Movin’
You needn’t be an athlete to reach your goal of staying active. Performing daily, low-intensity activities such as brisk walking or housework can lower your risk of heart disease. Any type of exercise helps reduce body fat, lower blood pressure, decrease total cholesterol and improve your mood.

‘Trans’-cend Fats
A healthy eating plan starts with knowing which fats to restrict. Saturated fat and trans-fatty acids are “bad” fats, while monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat are better for you. Trans fats raise LDL cholesterol levels and the risk for heart disease. Try to avoid these fats – found in fast and frozen foods as well as baked goods – and eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Screen the Sun
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. This spring, make a healthy skin resolution to avoid sun damage. Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and both UVA and UVB protection.

De-Stress
Take a deep breath. Stress can lead to high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels and even rapid aging. One very effective method to relieve stress is massage therapy. Research shows regular massage therapy boosts your immune system, which can become weak after extended periods of stress.

Plan ‘Me Time’
Plan one day a month for ‘ME time’. There’s nothing is better than having a massage appointment in your calendar weeks ahead of schedule. Massage Envy centers are open seven days a week.

Plus, regular massage therapy can contribute to healthy living. Besides relieving stress and encouraging relaxation, regular massage can improve circulation, lower blood pressure, improve flexibility and even strengthen the immune system.
