appy New Year to all those reading this magazine wanting to live a healthy life. I am with you. How balanced is your body going into the new year? Do you know?

Maybe read a little more, walk a little farther, eat an extra vegetable, find a few more things to smile about, say an extra prayer or two, look up more often and breathe a little deeper each day. You own this — it’s up to you.
