ITS A NEW YEAR, a time for new beginnings and like several other people you probably have a list of resolutions a mile long too. Everything from being more productive at work to hiking to the Mount Everest base camp is perhaps part of that list, neatly written and stuck to the refrigerator at home or pinned to the desk at office. Research shows that one of the top things on the resolution list is ‘becoming healthier’. And so in the first week of January, after all the excesses of the holiday season, we suddenly decide to detox, diet, work out, meditate, and do a hundred other things to ‘become healthier’. Three to four weeks later, we are back to our usual self and it’s all the same till it’s time to write another New Year resolution.
“It’s because we give ourselves unattainable goals that then become a task. A better way of doing it is to fix habits,” says Kavita Devgan, nutritionist and author of books such as The Don’t Diet Plan and The Immunity Diet.
