It’s time to think about your mental well-being. If the social activities of the holidays have left you feeling drained or anxious, there are simple lessons to be learned from introverts.

Chances are you’re eating a diet full of CRAP — an acronym for “calorie-rich and processed” foods — that’s making weight loss impossible.

Dr. Michael Greger, author of the new book “How Not to Diet,” wants people to know there’s a better way. It’s not just what you eat, but how and when, he says.

Greger advises consuming two teaspoons of vinegar with each meal — it ramps up an enzyme that tells your body you’re low on energy, so you burn more fat to “recharge your batteries,” he said. Any kind of vinegar will do, though Greger prefers apple cider or balsamic because it has other beneficial nutrients in it. Never drink vinegar straight -- dilute it in water or drizzle it on a salad.

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness.

And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces.
