4 Ways To Take Care Of Your Health In The New Year

4 Ways To Take Care Of Your Health In The New Year

December 19, 2022

As this year winds down and we all look forward to a fresh start, it’s a great time to think about how to better care for yourself. This is especially important if you have any kind of chronic health condition or are at high risk for things like heart disease or diabetes. The new year offers a clean slate and a fun opportunity to strive toward new goals!

Here are 4 ways to take great care of your wellbeing this next year. 

Cut back on your alcohol consumption

Drinking alcohol is associated with a huge range of health consequences, including disrupted sleep, cognitive decline, and even certain cancers. Give your physical and mental health a boost, and start cutting back on how many drinks you consume each week. Or, challenge yourself to something like “dry January” and take a break altogether!

Find movement you love

Instead of forcing yourself through miserable workouts because you feel like you “should” or “have to,” this year try to find new ways to move your body that you enjoy. You’re much more likely to stick with something that is fun! Maybe try a dance class, yoga in the park, roller skating, or join a local hiking group.

Get more screen-free time

It can be hard to pull yourself away from your phone, tablet, or TV, but your nervous system will thank you when you do. Try to carve out some screen-free time each day, especially first thing in the morning or right before bed. Use this time for creative play, listening to music, meditation, or simply soaking in your surroundings.

Build your community

Social isolation is a major contributor to poor health. This next year, try to get out and make new friends or deepen the relationships you already have. Prioritize quality time and shared activities with those you feel happy or safe around. 

When you need a healthcare team you can count on this year, come to us at DuPage Immediate Care. Drop in or schedule your care today!
