4 New Year’s Health Resolutions Everyone Should Make
Get an Annual Physical
No matter how healthy you are (or think you are), an annual physical is a crucial preventative measure to ensure that you enjoy your good health for years to come. In addition to clueing you into any potential risk factors you may have for certain illnesses, this annual visit is crucial to establishing baselines for your health to empower you and your physician to make important health decisions later on. And not only will you save plenty of money (not to mention, potentially your life) if your doctor is able to detect an illness early on, but it will also help ensure you remain up-to-date on your vaccinations and give you the time to build a relationship with your doctor. Should you ever face a serious health crisis—or have to ask an uncomfortable health question—you will be glad to have taken the time to establish a connection and trust with the physician.Get a Flu Shot
The holidays may be coming to an end, but we are still in the full swings of flu season. Getting a flu shot is one of the quickest, easiest and most affordable things you can do to
protect your health. Not only is the flu a serious illness, but getting vaccinated will also help ensure that you do not spread the sickness to very young infants or other family members who may not have the option of getting the flu shot. The best time to get the flu shot was yesterday (well, a couple of months ago) … the next best time is now!
Cut Back on Soda and Sugar`
Most people know that too much sugar is bad for you. Yet, we continue to eat massive amounts of it every day. While we certainly understand all of the temptation that probably came along with the holidays, resolving to cut back on your sugar intake in 2017 will have impressive effects on your well-being.
