As millions of Americans celebrated the July 4 holiday, they likely experienced another great American tradition — millions of targeted emails and ads urging them to get “beach body ready” in time for summer. Almost all of the solutions promoted promise fast weight loss, even though it’s been proven time and time again that people who initially lose weight on a diet or exercise program gain the weight back over time.

Forget those ads telling you to be beach-body ready. If you have a body, you’re already beach body ready. Instead, let’s focus on small, measurable and realistic changes we can make to improve overall health in the state of New Hampshire.
