Everyone makes a New Year's resolution to be healthier, but precious few actually follow through on it!

But what if there were simple ways you could improve your health?

Dietician Julieanna Hever says there are, and she has ten amazing tips for staying healthy in 2013!

Here's one!

Drink plenty of clear fluids (water, tea)…but only in between meals.

Because cells are composed of mostly water, maintain hydration by sipping fluids throughout the day, especially during and after a workout, or in the heat. Water is best and tea offers health advantages, so opt for those choices over sweetened or calorie-containing beverages. Liquids dilute digestive enzymes, so avoid drinking them within 30 minutes before a meal and about an hour afterwards.

Check back with us every day for the rest of the year for more of the 10 Great Health Tips for 2013! Special thanks to Julieanna Hever!

Be super organized! You might run a tight ship normally, but the holiday season calls for military organization! Keep a notebook next to your bed and plan the next day. Having a schedule will keep you relaxed, even amongst the extra house guests and last minute duties.

Ever wonder why you pack on the pounds during the holiday? Want to keep lookin' like a sexy santa?

Well, it isn't JUST because of the delicious food — it's actually a myriad of reasons! Jenny Craig did a survey and figured that shizz out FAST!

According to Fitness Magazine and Jenny Craig, here are the suspects:

- An increased number of social events

Chef Rocco DiSpirito, host of Now Eat This! with Rocco Dispirito, volunteered at the Food Bank for New York City’s Community Kitchen & Food Pantry.

He was there trying to raise awareness for the issue of hunger in NYC and the whole nation!

He served dinner there, which included a special side dish of macaroni and cheese to the hundreds of guests.

Chef Rocco was joined by Bank of America employees because B of A is going to donate $2 for every $1 donated to Feeding America's "Give a Meal" initiative.

They will match donations all the way up to $1.5 million!!

So ahmayzing! Way to be charitable!

The holidays revolve around family, friends, food and fun. But let's face it, organizing, shopping and preparing a holiday feast is enough to turn someone into a big crab when you're supposed to be enjoying yourself. If you serve a traditional holiday dinner time after time why not turn the shopping and menu into a science and document favorite family holiday dinners? Make a list on your computer or smart phone and name the file "Holiday Meals." Update the document and print it out next year. You can even make a list of menu items to organize ahead of time or delegate to extra help to lighten the load.

Remember too, you can spend a lot of time preparing an extravagant meal, or something bare-bones. The idea is to find a happy place when something simpler would do—the choice is yours. But nobody wants to be eating leftovers for an eternity!

What is your favorite short-cut or time saving tip for holiday meal planning, shopping or cooking?

No, we don't mean it looks good or is sexually attractive to other burgers.

We mean there is a burger that registers over 1 million Scoville units!

That's over 100 times hotter than the average jalapeño!

The Atomic Fallout burger, sold by Atomic Burger, Bristol in the UK, is so hot, diners must be over 18, sign a waiver and wear protective gloves.
