Beauty and Lifestyle Expert Bahar Takhtehchian talks about how to stick with your get-healthy plan through 2016.

Ace Your Oral Health

Every year millions of Americans vow to take better care of their mouths.

But that means more than brushing your teeth every day and going to the dentist once or twice a year. It also means using a great mouthwash. "I know a lot of people don't like using mouthwash because they hate the burn of alcohol, but there's good news because Crest Pro Health Advanced with Extra Deep Clean is a great mouthwash that is going to give you all of the gain of mouthwash without any of the pain," says Takhtehchian.

In fact the benefits go beyond a fresh-feeling mouth. In time teeth and enamel are 90% stronger versus brushing alone. It also helps to kill bad breath germs, prevent cavities, and deeply clean teeth and gums.

"I love to use this product in conjunction with brushing to ensure that I have great oral health," says the expert.

Clean Up Your Diet

You don't have to lose flavor to make smart choices. Sure, reading labels, choosing organic veggies and opting for non-GMO products are smart long-term tactics. But never fear: You can still eat delicious meals.

For breakfast, consider Nature's Path Coconut Chia Granola. It's an excellent source of plant-based Omega 3s, and contains thirty grams of whole grains, six grams of fiber, five grams of protein and a blend of superfoods like chia seeds and coconut.

"Blend together with yogurt to make a delicious parfait or use milk. Either way it's a tasty, easy breakfast," says Takhtehchian.

Go Green (Juice)

A staggering eighty-seven percent of Americans don't have enough veggies in their diets, according to the Center For Disease Control (CDC). "A really simple way to increase your veggie uptake is to drink green juices," suggests Tektashian.

"These are fantastic green juices from Evolution Fresh. They are cold pressed, which means they go through a special process that makes sure that each bottle contains more of the flavor, more of the nutrients, more of the minerals that you're getting from great raw vegetables."

Each bottle contains ten grams of sugar or less per eight ounces. And check out the label on each bottle, which will reflect the fact that the first ingredient is always a green vegetable.

Outsmart The Flu

"If you feel something coming on, at the first sign you want to take a Cold-EEZE product," says Takhtehchian. "It's the number one pharmacist-recommended line and comes in a variety of great products including the classic Cherry Lozenges which help shorten the duration of your cold," she says.

They also come in Quick Melts to help provide relief from symptoms like congestion and sore throat. Bonus: They dissolve instantaneously; no need for water, which makes them great for on the go.
