12 Healthy Habits by Mayo Clinic Professionals

Mayo Clinic professionals created a program with 12 habits for a healthier and happier life. The idea was to help people adopt new healthy habits "at their own pace, when it fits into their schedule, and at a level of participation that fits their lifestyle" – as they say, themselves.

We are very proud to say that the 12 habits were presented at both of our Symposia this year – in Ljubljana and in New Delhi – by Prof. Dr. Kerry Olsen. The experiences he had with the program were very inspiring. We'd like to share the 12 healthy habits with you and as the new year is just around the corner, you can pick one to start with and then continue with each every month.
