Keep Your New Year Resolutions: Health Deals from Walmart, Amazon, Whole Foods and More
The year 2020 is now underway with people trying to keep to their New Year resolutions.
According to Ipsos, 38 percent of Americans are planning on making New Year resolutions. Out of those people, 50 percent will decide to exercise more in 2020, with 51 wanting to eat healthier, especially after a busy festive season of eating sweets, consuming alcohol and eating rich foods, as the below chart from Statista shows.
The American Medical Association recommends adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous intensity activity. It also recommends reducing the intake of processed foods and to quit smoking.
However, it is said that to create a habit takes 21 days minimum and as many people give up their New Year resolutions by January 17 (also known as Ditch Your New Years Resolution Day), it seems that Americans might struggle to stick to their goals in 2020.
To help readers stay on track in this bright new decade, Newsweek has sprinted to find the best deals to help people not give up on their goals this year (or at least last until the summer...)
