December 2011 – Ring in the New Year with a Healthier Body and Mind

How many people can count the number of resolutions they’ve made as the New Year dawns on one hand? Not many. For most of us, we have to use all our fingers and toes to keep track of the numerous promises to get in shape, eat healthier, lose weight, quit smoking and cut down on the caffeine.
