This topic is one of the most hated each year, right behind the year-end recap endlessly and worthlessly providing a "top 10" or whatever on any topic imaginable from movies, to deaths, to fiction novels.
However it is really worthwhile to consider what you do in January as a reset to your health.
Studies continue to show the average American gains about 1.5 pounds over the holiday, winter, season, then don't lose it.
Here is WebMD on the subject stating the gain is 1.36 pounds:

The article emphasizes the issue is what we do, or don't do, AFTER the gain that is the problem.
Then there is this little piece about taking January off from drinking alcohol:
Here is a snippet from that piece:
People who abstained from alcohol for a month started drinking less the rest of the year and showed striking improvements in their health.
So, what should you do?
Why not plan on a health reset every January? Enjoy the holidays. Sip on that eggnog with the run/cognac/bourbon mix in it. Have that extra slice of cake. Then reset in January. It really will make a difference.
