These Health & Wellness proponents are only a few of the Twitterers who may be just the ticket to staving off those holiday pounds, keeping a healthy disposition and maybe, just maybe, facing the cold for an outdoor workout or two.

MSNBC Health (@msnbc_health) – Frequent health news and lifestyle tips. Short, sweet, to the point and super USEFUL. Everything we love about a great Tweet.

NutritionData (@nutritiondata) – Recipes & daily lifestyle tips to keep you in check!

Dr. Howard Murad (@DrMurad) – Internationally recognized dermatologist giving skincare tips and motivational advice daily (full disclosure: Murad Skincare is an Anvil client)

The Daily Love (@TheDailyLove) – Who needs a mantra when you can get uplifted multiple times a day with these inspirational Tweets?
