NJ's Number 1 Goal For 2025

A new survey has determined that NJ residents' top overall goal for 2025 is to start eating better. That's DEFINITELY true for me. When I read that, I felt like I was being called out, but in the best way. As an resident of New Jersey myself, I couldn't be more thrilled to hear that people in the Garden State are aligning themselves with healthier lifestyles. Sure, they require a lot of hard work and discipline, but once you're in the routine of meal prepping and working out consistently, it becomes a habit that's harder and harder to break with each passing day.

The folks from MattressNextDay emphasized that eating better means staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, too. A lot of times we can mistake thirst for hunger. That leads to bad decision-making in terms of both meals and snacks. When you think you're feeling hungry, reach for the water bottle and down a few ounces of water before reaching for food. In regards to your sleep schedule, not getting enough sleep can result in you choosing things like salty and sugary options throughout the day to catch some energy when in reality, if you would have gotten to bed two hours earlier the night before, you wouldn't need those quick pick-me-ups as often.

65% of New Jersey residents are prioritizing healthy eating habits in 2025. Here's to hoping we all have the discipline to turn these goals into our new reality.
