Make a New Year’s resolution that will stick.  Talk to your friends, family, or physician for programs.  Take it one step at a time.  Don’t expect to change unhealthy habits in one day.  Make a plan you can live with.  Don’t be afraid to keep trying until you succeed. Try these as a top 10 list for healthy resolutions: 

1. I will give myself and my family the gift of a healthier lifestyle this year. 

2.  I will give myself the gift of a healthy breakfast each day. 

3. I will give myself the gift of stopping my unhealthy behaviors (e.g. smoking, drinking too much alcohol, etc.). 

4.  I will wear my seat belt religiously. 

5.  I will increase my water intake.

6. I will take my necessary vitamins and supplements. 

7.  I will practice proper dental hygiene. 

8. I will get my annual physical exam plus my pelvic, Pap smear, rectal exam, mammogram (for women), and prostate test (for men).

9. I will practice monthly self exams: BSE’s for women or testicular exams for men.

10. I will increase my daily activity and enjoy it!  

On behalf of the Doctors Hospital family, have a safe, prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year!
