Survey Finds: This Simple Step Can Help You to Stick to your New Year's Resolution
Survey by LifeOmic shows that the answer to sticking to lifestyle resolutions may be as easy as telling someone about it
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeOmic, the creator of the free LIFE mobile apps and educational science-based LIFE Apps site, today released findings from its recent holiday health survey of over 10,000 LifeOmic LIFE mobile app users.
LifeOmic conducted the survey to gain a better understanding of people's holiday health motivations and plans. Findings reveal the value in the relationship between health resolutions and one's support network, including:
- Nearly 60% of respondents are more likely to stick to a lifestyle change if they tell someone about it
- Respondents are five times more likely to commit to fasting in their New Year's resolutions if it's a joint resolution with family or friends
The survey findings support the LIFE mobile app's model which encourages users to publicly share their health journey and connect with others via social Circles to build community support. There are currently 60,000 Circles that allow users to set goals and check-in with friends and family in real-time.
"We incorporated the Circles feature into our LIFE mobile apps, knowing that community support is a predictor of improved health," said Dr. Don Brown, CEO and founder of LifeOmic. "It is wonderful to see that people are aware of the health benefits of connection and that they are actively incorporating it into their holiday resolutions."
Other notable findings from LifeOmic's health survey, reveal the motives and trajectory of those fasting and/or dieting leading up to the holidays:
- Nearly 70% of respondents plan on including fasting as a part of their New Year's resolutions
- 66% of users that diet or fast leading up to the holidays do so to offset the calories they will consume
LifeOmic's LIFE mobile apps are free and available on iOS and Android. The LIFE Fasting Tracker empowers users to securely record, track and share fasting habits. It also enables users to track their eating habits, monitor mood, and record parameters such as their weight, waist circumference, blood glucose, and ketones, to sustain and improve metabolic health. The recently released LIFE Extend app guides users in adopting five "pillars of health" that are scientifically demonstrated to stave off chronic diseases of aging and increase lifespan. The five pillars include physical activity, nutrition, mindfulness, sleep and intermittent fasting. Both apps include an extensive library of science-based educational content provided by a network of expert bloggers on the LIFE Apps site.
User data is securely stored on LifeOmic's Precision Health Cloud, a HIPAA compliant and HITRUST CSF© Certified platform. This same platform is used by leading precision health and cancer researchers to accelerate the development of cutting edge treatment.
