Make Healthy Mondays a Part of Your Life

From Debra Manzella, R.N., About.com GuideDecember 15, 2008

Follow me on:

What's so healthy about Mondays? A team of experts at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, created the Healthy Monday campaign to remind people that every Monday is a new opportunity to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Most people think of Monday as the fresh start to a new week, and what better time to adopt a new healthy attitude?

Even if you lose your focus, go off track and totally wreck your healthy plans, there's always another Monday, just around the corner, and another chance to be healthy.

Have you embraced the Healthy Monday philosophy yet?

"Healthy Monday" asks that we tackle the "big four" leading causes of preventative diseases in America today:

  • An unhealthy diet
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol abuse

Adopt the "Healthy Monday" lifestyle and jumpstart your journey to good health every Monday.
