LET'S GET PERSONALFOR A MOMENT. WE'RE ABOUT TO ENTER A BRAND NEW
YEAR. LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
DID YOU MAKE A NEW YEAR'S. RESOLUTION TO KICK OFF 2015?
HOW DID YOU DO? DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO MAKE A NEW
YEAR'S RESOLUTION TO BRING IN.
2016?
MAYBE YOU SHOULD STAY TUNED TO. HEALTHWATCH. \M\M
>> Terrance: HI, I'M TERRANCE. AFER-ANDERSON AND THIS IS
HEALTHWATCH.
FREQUENTLY, LET'S SAY SOMETIME
MAYBE AROUND LATE FEBRUARY OR. MARCH, SOME NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS ARE KNOWN TO SIMPLY. FLY OUT THE WINDOW OR ARE
MANAGED TO BE CONVENIENTLY. FORGOTTEN.
SOMETIMES, THAT HAPPENS EVEN.
EARLIER.
YOU KNOW YOURSELF BETTER THAN. ANYONE.
ARE YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS. UNREALISTIC?
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T WAIT UNTIL. THE END OF THE YEAR TO PLAN FOR
THE NEXT YEAR.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE A
YEAR-ROUND COMMITMENT, RENEWING. IT EVERY DAY.
I'VE LEARNED THAT WORKS BETTER. FOR ME, BUT STILL I DON'T ALWAYS
SUCCEED. YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER THAT A
NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, I PLANNED.
TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT.
I DID, BUT IT CAME BACK QUICKLY. SO ANYWAY, I DECIDED TO DO SOME
RESEARCH, SEEKING THE KINDS OF. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS THAT ONE
CAN MAKE THAT HAS SOME PROMISE. OF SUCCESS, AND I TURNED TO MY
OLD RELIABLE FRIEND THE CDC, THE.
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND
PREVENTION, TO GET SOME IDEAS. AND AS I SUGGESTED AT THE
OUTSET, LET'S KEEP THIS. PERSONAL, JUST BETWEEN YOU AND
ME. I WILL HAVE NO GUESTS IN THE
STUDIO TODAY.
I'M JUST GOING TO INFORMALLY
SHARE SOME GREAT INFORMATION. THAT I THINK YOU WILL FIND BOTH
NOTEWORTHY AND HELPFUL. THESE ARE SIMPLE THINGS, EASILY
DONE, WITH GREAT BENEFITS. WHEN MOST PEOPLE THINK OF THE
HOLIDAYS, THE SONG "THE 12 DAYS.
OF CHRISTMAS" FREQUENTLY COMES
TO MIND. YOU KNOW, TWO TURTLE DOVES,
THREE FRENCH HENS, A PARTRIDGE. IN A PEAR TREE, AND THE LIKE.
WELL, LAST YEAR, THE CDC. RECOMMENDED THE 12 WAYS TO HAVE
A HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON AS WELL.
AS YEAR-ROUND.
AGAIN, THESE ARE SIMPLE, EASILY. MANAGEABLE THINGS THAT OFFER
CONSIDERABLE REWARDS. HERE YOU GO!
NUMBER ONE, WASH HANDS OFTEN TO. PREVENT THE SPREAD OF GERMS.
REMEMBER, IT'S FLU SEASON.
WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND
CLEAN RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST. 20 SECONDS.
NUMBER TWO, MANAGE STRESS. IF YOU FEEL STRESSED OUT,
OVERWHELMED, AND OUT OF CONTROL, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.
FIND SUPPORT, CONNECT SOCIALLY, AND GET PLENTY OF SLEEP.
NUMBER THREE, DON'T DRINK AND. DRIVE OR LET OTHERS DRINK AND
DRIVE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO PARTY HEARTY,
GET A DESIGNATED DRIVER. NUMBER FOUR, BUNDLE UP TO STAY
DRY AND WARM. WEAR APPROPRIATE OUTDOOR
CLOTHING: LIGHT, WARM LAYERS, GLOVES, HATS, SCARVES, AND
WATERPROOF BOOTS. NUMBER FIVE, BE SMOKE-FREE.
AVOID SMOKING AND SECONDHAND.
SMOKE.
SMOKERS HAVE GREATER HEALTH. RISKS BECAUSE OF THEIR TOBACCO
USE, BUT NONSMOKERS ALSO ARE AT. RISK WHEN EXPOSED TO TOBACCO
SMOKE. NUMBER SIX, FASTEN SEAT BELTS
WHILE DRIVING OR RIDING IN A.
MOTOR VEHICLE.
ALWAYS BUCKLE YOUR CHILDREN IN. THE CAR USING A CHILD SAFETY
SEAT, BOOSTER SEAT, OR SEAT BELT. ACCORDING TO THEIR HEIGHT,
WEIGHT, AND AGE. BUCKLE UP EVERY TIME, NO MATTER
HOW SHORT THE TRIP, AND.
ENCOURAGE PASSENGERS TO DO THE
SAME. NUMBER SEVEN, GET HEALTH EXAMS
AND SCREENINGS. ASK YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
WHAT EXAMS YOU NEED AND WHEN TO. GET THEM.
UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL AND FAMILY.
HISTORY.
NUMBER EIGHT, GET YOUR. VACCINATIONS.
VACCINATIONS HELP PREVENT. DISEASES AND SAVE LIVES.
EVERYONE OVER SIX MONTHS AND. OLDER SHOULD GET A FLU VACCINE
EACH YEAR.
NUMBER NINE, MONITOR CHILDREN.
KEEP POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TOYS, FOOD, DRINKS, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS,
AND OTHER OBJECTS OUT OF. CHILDREN'S REACH.
PROTECT THEM FROM DROWNING, BURNS, FALLS, AND OTHER
POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. NUMBER TEN, PRACTICE FIRE
SAFETY. MOST RESIDENTIAL FIRES OCCUR
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, SO.
DON'T LEAVE FIREPLACES, SPACE
HEATERS, FOOD COOKING ON STOVES, OR CANDLES UNATTENDED.
HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN AND. PRACTICE IT REGULARLY.
NUMBER 11, PREPARE FOOD SAFELY. WASH HANDS AND SURFACES OFTEN,
AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATION, COOK. FOODS TO PROPER TEMPERATURES AND
REFRIGERATE FOODS PROMPTLY.
AND NUMBER 12, EAT HEALTHY AND
STAY ACTIVE. EAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
LIMIT YOUR PORTION SIZES AND. FOODS HIGH IN FAT, SALT, AND
SUGAR. ALSO, BE ACTIVE FOR AT LEAST
2 1/2 HOURS A WEEK AND HELP KIDS.
AND TEENS BE ACTIVE FOR AT LEAST
ONE HOUR A DAY. SO THAT'S IT, 12 SIMPLE
RESOLUTIONS WHICH CAN BE EASILY. DONE AND THAT YOU CAN PUT INTO
PRACTICE YEAR-ROUND, KEEPING YOU. AND YOURS HEALTHY AND HAPPY.
ESSENTIALLY, THE CDC'S 12 WAYS.
TO HAVE A HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON
ARE ABOUT ROUTINE THINGS THAT. YOU CAN DO TO MAINTAIN GOOD
HEALTH, BUT WHAT ABOUT IN AN. EMERGENCY?
ARE YOU PREPARED IN THE EVENT OF. A NATURAL OR MANMADE DISASTER?
IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA AT.
ALL AT THE END OF 2015 TO
RESOLVE TO BE PREPARED IN 2016. IT TOO CAN BE DONE FAIRLY
EASILY. A FEW YEARS AGO, THE CDC
SUGGESTED THAT AMERICANS BEGIN. THE NEW YEAR WITH A NOVEL PLAN
OF 31 DAYS OF PREPAREDNESS.
IF YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT TO
ADHERE TO YOUR NEW YEAR'S. RESOLUTION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR,
PERHAPS A CONCENTRATED EFFORT. OVER THE SHORT TERM, SAY THE
MONTH OF JANUARY, MIGHT BE A. GREAT WAY TO KEEP A RESOLUTION
THAT WILL ALSO HAVE YOU AND YOUR.
FAMILY PREPARED FOR ANY
EMERGENCY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT
BREAK NOW, BUT WHEN I RETURN, I'LL HAVE SOME MORE GREAT
SUGGESTIONS ON EASILY ACHIEVED. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS.
BUT FIRST, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT. A GREAT WORKOUT SUGGESTION BY
TASHA TURNBULL OF T2 FITNESS.
I'LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE BREAK. >> Tasha: HI, THIS IS TASHA
TURNBULL WITH T2 FITNESS AND. YOUR T2-IN-60.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EXERCISES TO. GET YOUR HEART RATE UP AND WE'LL
WORK INTO A COMPOUND EXERCISE.
THAT WORKS THE TOTAL BODY.
I HAVE WEIGHTS, IF YOU DON'T. HAVE THEM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE
THEM. WE'RE JUST GOING TO LUNGE FROM
SIDE TO SIDE, WIDE LUNGES. GET YOUR HEART RATE GOING UP.
YOU SHOULD ALSO FEEL YOUR LEGS.
GOING AND YOU ARE USING THE
BUTT, THE GLUTEUS MAXIMUS, SO. YOU SHOULD FEEL THAT.
SO THE FASTER YOU GO, THE MORE. YOUR HEART RATE GOES UP.
FROM HERE, WE'RE GOING TO GO. INTO FRONT KICKS.
BRINGING THE ARMS UP AT THE SAME.
TIME.
SO THIS IS WORKING OUR ARMS, OUR. LEGS, OUR CORE, AND GETTING OUR
HEART RATE UP. SO REMEMBER, LUNGES, KICKS.
GOT IT? SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
>> Terrance: SO HAS TASHA GOT. YOU FIRED UP TO HEAR MORE GREAT
