MORE RESOLUTIONS WORTH RETHINKING

Already want to pack it all in? Maybe you just picked the wrong targets…

Quit Caffeine

Coffee drinkers live a whole latte longer. Drinking three cups a day is linked to an 18% reduced chance of premature death*. There’s no evidence that decaf is superior.

Be More Zen

If channelling your inner monk works for you, great. But don’t force it: research shows that learning to view stress as a motivator, rather than a problem, can actually extend your lifespan*.

Walk 10,000 Steps

It’s an arbitrary target. One research project found that scheduling three 10-minute walks a day was more effective than having a daily step goal*. Besides, 8,000 is thought to be sufficient.
