It is time for the traditional New Year's resolution column. I share this with the understanding that health-related New Year's resolutions are made to be KEPT!!!!
- Be aware of your BMI, Blood pressure, Blood glucose and Blood cholesterol
- Choose a primary care physician to be your health advisor, counselor and advocate
- Exercise regularly
- Eat fish three times a week
- Increase your daily intake of fresh vegetables
- And fruit
- If you smoke, stop!
- Never, ever drink and drive. Always have a designated driver.
- Have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and make sure the batteries are fresh.
- Make sure the kids always use the appropriate car seat device.
- Get a good night's sleep, every night.
- Take time to do what you want to do and forget work for a while.
- Get the flu vaccine.
- Discuss your health care wishes and advanced directives with your family, and designate a health care proxy.
- Exercise your brain with puzzles, word games and reading.
- Use sunscreen when outdoors.
- Do one thing this year you have always wanted to do, but never got around to doing.
- Identify a website as a health information resource (i.e., www.medlineplus.gov)
From the whole NuHealth family to yours, wishing you a New Year filled with health, peace, prosperity and happiness
