development for people

due to a disability
and want to work.
Th rough
authorized

individuals can receive
employment services
and supports such as
help identifying their
work goals, developing

skills
and writing a resume,
fi nding a job, and
understanding
how
working and earning
income will aff ect their
disability
benefi ts.
For young adults with
little or no previous
work
experience,
these services can ease
their entry into the
workforce.
Finding a fi rst job
can feel daunting, but
Ticket to Work service

organizations

(ENs), have the know-
how to make the
process
smoother.
Th ese service providers
work with individuals

goals and then create
a plan to achieve
them. Th is plan may

their career goals.
Once an individual

say they exercise less during
the holidays—and of those, the
average time spent working out
each week was two hours less
than usual.
“Enjoying the holidays
doesn’t mean you have to
completely abandon your
attempts to be healthy and
make healthy choices,” says
Dr. John Agwunobi, co-
president and chief health and
nutrition offi cer at Herbalife
Nutrition. “Healthy snacking
is a useful tool in combating
overindulgence. Consuming
protein-rich snacks before
heading out to a holiday feast
can help make you feel full, so
that you don’t overindulge.”
But with January comes a
“new year, new me” attitude
and results found that 33
percent are planning to make
a New Year’s resolution—
compared to 34 percent last
year.
Dr.
Agwunobi
adds,
“Staying on track can be hard
especially if you are tackling
it on your own. Developing a
support system of people who
know your goals, strengths and
weaknesses can be extremely
benefi cial in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle, especially
during the challenging times of
the year.”
As people transition to the
new year and begin setting their
2020 healthy goals, Agwunobi
recommends resolving to take
action by making little lifestyle
changes. It takes three weeks
to make a habit, so start with
something you know you
can achieve: add fruits and
vegetables to every meal, go for
a walk, take the stairs instead
of the elevator, park your car
farther from the door and walk.
Create
specifi c
and
achievable
goals
and
resolutions. Remember, this
is a lifestyle change that can
lead to sustainable, lasting
results. “Crash diets” and gym
overload are temporary and
not sustainable long term.
For example, if your goal is to
Business & Service Directory
(NAPS)—Th e
holiday
season,
starting
with
Th anksgiving and culminating
on January 1, is a tough time
of year for those wanting to
lead a healthy lifestyle. In fact,
a survey of 2,000 Americans
who celebrate a winter holiday
found that they are abandoning
their attempts to be healthy—
and half will break their diet
to give in to the temptation of
holiday food.
Th e results of the second
annual “Writing Off the End
of the Year” survey found that
41 percent use the holidays as
an excuse to postpone being
healthy, compared to 47 percent
the previous year.
Th e research, commissioned
by Herbalife Nutrition, found
that for those taking a “start
again in January” approach,
a third start postponing
their healthy habits by mid-
November.
With so many tasty treats
tempting people to stray from
their diets, food is a major
reason why 59 percent of
respondents said it was hardest
to stay healthy during the
winter holiday season.
Th e
opportunity
to
overindulge is oft en too great
for people and 44 percent admit
to having eaten more than one
dessert at a meal, while 36
percent have eaten more than
one holiday dinner in a day
and 30 percent say they’ve had
to undo a button on their pants
because of eating too much.
In fact, the average person
expects to gain six pounds
during the holiday season,
according to both the 2018
and this year’s survey. And the
survey found that three in 10
actually plan to eat more during
the
holidays—specifi cally
because their New Year’s
resolution is to be healthier.
In addition to overindulging,
not getting enough exercise was
another reason people might
be piling on the pounds during
the holidays. Twenty-seven
percent of the people surveyed
