With the holiday season over and January upon us, most people have thought about New Year’s Resolutions for health and diet reasons.
The challenge on these resolutions is that they are sometimes too unworkable and cause too much disruption in people’s lives to actually work.
The key here is to make sustainable plans which are incremental steps in the right direction, whether they are for diet, exercise, or any other health-related issue. Resolutions have to be adaptable to our current lives. Adaptable goals are the ones which can provide long-term changes to our health and well being.
One timely example of a sustainable resolution for 2016 comes from using FitBit.
As you may already know, Fitbit is a small wearable monitor (similar to a wrist watch) that can keep you informed as to the number of steps you take in any given day, the hours you sleep, heart rate and other information, which indicates how you are doing with some lifestyle choices. Using FitBit for 2016 can make a real difference.
If you are using FitBit, please connect to me at “Diana H” as this gives us a chance to provide even better health care advice and coaching.
Whether your 2016 resolutions include a FitBit or not, Access MD looks forward to helping you make this year as healthy a year as possible for you and yours.
Sincerely,
Diana Hashimi, MD
