We all know that New Year resolutions are short-lived. They usually go out the window just a week or two into the New Year. Most people make their New Year resolutions too broad and unrealistic, that's why they fail.

So this year, why don't you set small, achievable resolutions? And, why not make them related to your health.

If you have good health, you'll be able to achieve just about anything you want!

Here are some suggestions to stay healthy in 2011
