The tradition of making New Year’s resolutions began with the Babylonians around 4,000 years ago. Most people still make them today, but they often abandon them quickly, making the search for a sustainable resolution even more challenging.
Even if we give up on our resolutions after a few weeks or months, the act of making them helps us bring about change in our lives, reflect on old habits, and motivate ourselves to adopt new, better ones.
New Year’s resolutions are most commonly focused on changes related to finances, travel, exercise, and developing healthier eating habits, particularly by introducing foods rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants are a powerful part of the body’s defense system, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect the body from the effects of oxidative stress.
Thanks to their high levels of phenolic compounds, incorporating high-quality olive oil, such as Kristofola extra virgin olive oil, into your diet is an excellent way to boost your antioxidant intake. In addition to its numerous health benefits, this change might be one reason you stick to your resolution to improve your eating habits, as your meals will soon become unimaginable without a drop of this Istrian treasure.
And always remember to celebrate even the small successes, drop by drop…
