If losing weight or embracing a healthier lifestyle was among your New Year's resolutions but didn't stick, May offers the perfect opportunity for a fresh start.
Dr. Oz explains on his TV show why adopting healthier habits is simpler in May than in other months. Here are his key reasons:
A study highlighted by Dr. Oz shows that 61% of women plan to start watching their weight in May. For 57%, the approaching summer makes it feel more achievable.
While it varies by individual, many experience reduced hunger as temperatures rise. Fresh options like fruit and cucumber become more appealing in nicer weather, simplifying healthy eating.
With longer daylight hours, it's easier to exercise outdoors. Even indoor workouts feel more accessible when evenings stay light, lowering the barrier to getting active.
