Don’t berate yourself too much if you haven’t stuck to your resolutions as diligently as you hoped you would. It generally takes three months for a new habit to “stick.” So if you’ve gone off your diet or sloughed off on your exercise routine, shake it off and try it again. Be sure to set reasonable goals and reward yourself when you reach them. Every issue of Health & Wellness magazine is designed to help you think about ways you can improve your personal health and wellness. Our articles strive to provide you with the latest information about nutrition, exercise, food and disease prevention and treatment. This issue looks at modern day diseases. Sometimes it may seem as though new and exotic diseases that appear incurable are popping up at alarming rates. But scientists and doctors are working hard to come up with innovations to combat these diseases and help us live long and healthy lives. We can all do our part by eating a healthy diet, exercising, getting regular check-ups, watching our weight, quitting smoking and having a positive attitude. In other words – stick to your resolutions. And count on Health & Wellness to give you the encouragement and information you need to do so. Here’s to your Health & Wellness, Tanya J.
