Don't drink your calories. Sodas and even fruit juices get all their calories from sugar, which doesn't make us feel full. This promotes overeating and weight gain, the bad kind. Stick to water unless you need to replenish after a rigorous workout.

Do you know what a polar bear plunge is?

If you thought about it, you could guess: it's when you jump into freezing cold water for the hell of it. The question is, though, whether or not it's good for you!

Vinny Guadagnino has done the Coney Island Polar Bear Club's 110th New Year's Day Swim twice now. Here's what he says:

"You get a rush when you're there because there are so many people doing it. It's definitely like a shot of adrenaline… It doesn't affect you that much — you just have to go in, and do it, and jump back out… Afterward, as soon as I get out, I have a towel waiting for me, and I dry off quickly. That's it — and then, I just chill."

BUT IS IT GOOD FOR YOU??

We've heard of parents making dumb mistakes when it comes to their kids, but getting your baby drunk??

When an 8-week-old baby was rushed into an El Lay hospital after it stopped breathing, doctors just couldn't figure out what was wrong- until one smelled the alcohol on it!

So, what's the best way to follow up a workout?

Some water? Maybe a healthy smoothie?

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!

Do three 10-minute intense movement sessions a day.

Gain the same benefits from exercising in shorter bouts as if you clumped them altogether. Walk fast, jump rope, climb stairs. Try performing a circuit series of a few exercises in rotation…for example, do 10 pushups, 10 mountain climbers, one-minute held plank, 10 squat jumps, and repeat the series three times. Other activities you can maximize in mini bouts include:

· Run (with your pooch or a friend)

· Do walking lunges across a hallway while holding weights or heavy water bottles

· Exercise with resistance (kettlebells, tubing, your body, weights)

· Workout DVDs or online videos (many mini workouts are now easy to find)

· Dance to your favorite music

· Kickboxing, boxing, or other martial arts practice
