If you’re like me — and roughly one in three Americans — January is the time of new possibilities. Many choose to start the new year with a clean slate and make resolutions for various reasons. Yet, while 75 percent of us stuck to our goals for at least a week, less than half (46 percent) still will be on target six months from now, according to Health magazine.
Every year I resolve to be better — to be more patient, to exercise more, to drink more water, and to get fit and lose weight. In the past, I tried a cleanse that mixed water, cayenne pepper and lemon juice, which was supposed to rid my body of impurities and kick-start a healthy new year. Let’s just say that it didn’t work for me.
