Being over- weight or obese are risk factors for various conditions, includ- ing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organization reports that the world- wide obesity rate has tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight. Of these, more than 650 million were obese. Health issues related to obesity are largely prevent- able. Losing weight in a healthy manner is essential for safe and lasting results. Individuals aspiring to lose weight can follow these guidelines on what to do and what not to do. DO add lean protein sources to your diet. Health- line indicates the body burns calories when digesting and metabolizing protein, so a high-protein diet can help to shed up to 80 to 100 calories per day. Protein also helps you to feel full, reducing the propensity to overeat. DON'T get hung up on numbers early on. The Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention advises that even modest weight loss of 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight is bound to produce health benefits, such as im- provements in blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure. Start small and gradually build up. DO eat at least four serv- ings of vegetables and three servings of fruits daily. Pro- duce contains an abundance of vital nutrients and is often fiber-rich and low in calories, which helps you to feel full. DON'T overlook the im- pact of beverages on weight loss. The calories in sug- ary beverages, including some all-natural fruit juices, can add up quickly. Stick to water, tea or other unsweet- ened beverages to help with weight loss. DO get moving more. The Mayo Clinic notes that while it is possible to lose weight without exercise, getting moving can help burn off the excess calories you can't cut through diet alone. Exercise boosts metabolism and ben- efits mood and strengthens muscles and the cardiovas- cular system as well. DON'T go shopping while hungry. If you do, you may make impulse buys that compromise healthy eating plans. DO speak with a doctor if you are vetting diet and exer- cise plans. A healthcare pro- fessional can assist you by indicating if a particular diet or fitness routine is accept- able for your age, goals and current health status. DON'T forget to track eating. Most healthy diets involve some sort of calo- rie-counting, whether they actually require you to docu- ment your intake or use a formula to attribute "points" or another measure related to what you eat. Writing or tracking the foods and bev- erages you consume will provide the most honest as- sessment of habits that could affect weight loss. DO include foods you enjoy. Completely restrict- ing access to occasional treats may cause you to re- sent healthy eating, which can derail weight loss goals. The principle of moderation can apply to healthy weight loss as long as you account for the more calorie-dense foods. Losing weight in a healthy manner is achievable when you seek guidance and fol- low some time-tested tech- niques. January 1 is all about new beginnings. Upon waking up on the first day of a new year, it's not uncommon for people to turn over a new leaf or look ahead to the months to come. But the first day of the new year also merits a look back, as many historical events have taken place on January 1. • 45 BC: Of the many mem- orable events to take place on January 1, perhaps none had a more lasting effect than January 1 in 45 BC. That's the day when the Roman Empire officially adopted the Julian calendar, which established January 1 as the first day of the new year. • 404: Gladiatorial fights are banned by Christian Em- peror Honorius, who issues the ban after the Christian monk Telemachus is stoned to death by a crowd as he tries to stop a gladiatorial fight in a Roman ampitheater. • 1500: The coast of Brazil is discovered by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral. Cabral is acknowledged as the first European to discover Bra- zil and during his voyage in 1500 became the first human in history to be in four conti- nents. • 1600: More than 1,600 years after the Roman Em- pire recognized January 1 as the start of the new year, Scotland follows suit. Until this point, Scotland had considered March 25 as the start of its new year. • 1776: In the midst of the Revolutionary War, General George Washington hoists the Grand Union Flag, a precursor to the American flag, at Pros- pect Hill in Somerville, Massa- chusetts. Historians cite this as the first time any American flag was raised. • 1801: The United Kingdon of Great Britain and Ireland is proclaimed. The sovereign state would remain in exis- tence until 1922, when the Irish Free State was established. • 1863: The Emancipa- tion Proclamation takes effect in Confederate territory. The proclamation from U.S. Presi- dent Abraham Lincoln changed the legal status of more than 3.5 million African Americans from enslaved to free. • 1898: The City of Greater New York is created when New York, NY, annexes land from surrounding counties. Four boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx) are established, and a fifth (Staten Island) joined less than a month later. • 1912: The Republic of China is established. The Peo- ple's Republic of China, which rules the mainland today, cites 1949 as the official end of the Republic of China. • 1934: Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay becomes a United States federal prison. High costs of running the prison would be one of the major contributing factors to its closure as a detention facility in 1963. The prison is now a popular tourist attraction. • 1971: A ban on television ads promoting cigarettes goes into effect in the United States. • 1990: David Dinkins is sworn in as the first African American Mayor of New York City. It was not Dinkins' first turn as a trailblazer, as he also was among the first African American U.S. Marines. People spend so much time planning New Year's Eve rev- elry that they may not consider that they have another day on the holiday calendar to enjoy after the clock strikes 12. New Year's Day activities may differ significantly from the count- downs and parties of the night before, but that doesn't mean it can't be equally enjoyable. Chances are children are home from school for holiday breaks, meaning New Year's Day activities should probably be family-friendly. Check out these family-friendly ways to spend New Year's Day. • Catch (or play) a football game. New Year's Day and football go hand in hand, and families can likely find a game on television to enjoy together. Of course, it's also fun to burn off a few New Year's Eve calo- ries by playing a game of foot- ball in the backyard on January 1. • Host a New Year's Day meal. Give people plenty of time to recover from last nights's antics by inviting neighbors or friends and their children over for a brunch, late lunch or early dinner. Potlucks are great for these occasions because no one will likely want to cook for a crowd. • Enjoy a movie marathon. Spend the day in comfortable clothes and make a new family tradition. Select one movie for each family member to watch and then cue up the streaming service or dust off that DVD player. Use holiday mugs for hot cocoa and dig into any left- overs from holiday dinners. If a marathon at home isn't up your alley, check out the showings at a nearby theater and enjoy an afternoon at the cinema. • Take a hike. Enjoy the cold weather up close and personal with a hike in the brisk air. State parks or nearby nature preserves may not be busy on January 1, making them an even more relaxing respite. • Tackle an organizational project. Get the whole family together and take on a project that has been pushed aside, such as organizing the garage or cleaning out the refrigerator. • Volunteer with a local charity. Give back to the com- munity and start off the new year on a positive note by vol- unteering as a family. New Year's Day presents an ideal opportunity to spend time together as a family.
