The year is still young and perfect for a fresh start. Have
you made a resolution yet? If not, it might be a good idea to work on improving
your health and well-being.
“The beginning of the year is a time for resolutions for many
Pinoys. Usually at the top of our resolution list is the
pledge to become healthier and fit. That is why many are keen on dropping bad
habits and starting a new diet or fitness regimen,” says Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard
Philippines.
Here are some tips to stay healthy throughout the
year:
Stop
smoking
Most Pinoys are aware
of the bad effects of smoking, but the addictive
nature of nicotine in tobacco makes it difficult to quit through willpower
alone. Smokers can achieve a lasting abstinence from cigarettes through the help
of clinical experts in smoking cessation clinics. These
treatment centers are specialized to help smokers drop the habit and avoid
subsequent relapse by using different techniques, like counseling, telephone
and online support and safe pharmaceutical aids.
