Score A Goal For Health In 2009
The AMA is urging people to be honest with themselves when setting their health goals for 2009 and to plan achievable health outcomes they can stick to.
AMA President, Dr Rosanna Capolingua, said the reason many people let their health resolutions slide off after New Year’s Eve is they aren’t realistic about what they need or what they can achieve.
“Daily stresses and demands on time make it difficult to stick to New Year’s resolutions,” Dr Capolingua said.
“Start by being honest with yourself. When you only have yourself to answer to it’s less easy to make excuses or to estimate your health and fitness as better than it might be.
“Be specific and realistic when setting your health goals. Aim to walk for half an hour five times a week, or to eat two more pieces of fruit each day.
“Many of us aim too high and too hard with our health goals and this makes it easy to give up on them.
“There are small changes we can all easily make to our lifestyles that will have a big impact on our overall health.”
Dr Capolingua recommended some simple goals that can help improve overall health and fitness:
