So many of us include losing weight on our list of New Year’s resolutions but what’s more important that losing weight is eating, and living, healthy. The appropriate weight is a different for everyone. It depends on your height, your age and your genetics. Living a healthy lifestyle, however, is completely different. Staying active and in shape is healthier for your mind and body than worrying about a number on a scale.
