10 Healthy New Year’s Resolutions You’ll Actually Keep

new year's resolutions

Nobody plans to quit their resolutions when they make them, yet studies show that 23% of people barely make it through the first week. In fact, only 19% of people who make resolutions commit to them for the long haul. Fortunately, you can be a part of the latter group if you make the right resolutions.
