Course Correction for a Healthier Year

Most peoples' New Year's Resolutions included goals to live healthier. How are their plans coming along? According to a 2016 study, of the 41% of Americans who make New Year's resolutions, only 9% feel they were successful in keeping them by the end of the year. An earlier study in 2007 showed that only 12%  of people who set resolutions are successful, even though 52% of the participants were confident of success at the beginning. Within the first months of a new year, most people have abandoned their plans. The reasons cited for failing include the goals needing to be more realistic; forgetting about making the resolutions; and having too many resolutions to follow.
