What Can Be The Best New Year Resolutions For 2024?
3 Min Read
Fact Checked
As the year comes to an end, we look forward to the next, hoping that things will be different. We hope that the new year brings you nothing but joy and success.
However, it is also the time of year to start fresh and consider your New Year’s resolution, whether it is to get in shape, learn how to invest your money, help others, or try a new hobby. All these are admirable resolutions, but don’t get me wrong — every year, we make the same New Year’s resolutions that we never really keep. So, why not change things up a little in 2024 and try something new?
So, what exactly are we talking about?
We’re talking about the kind of resolution where the spotlight is on holistic health rather than focussing on “single” aspects of health, like fitness or eating clean.
Allow me to explain…
As we enter our 30s, we become so preoccupied with our careers and growing families, so much so that we aren’t able to find time to take care of our health. We are all too familiar with things like missing breakfast, not eating healthy, stress, and not getting enough sleep. Don’t we?
So, unless you are someone who follows a healthy diet and fitness regime to the dot, it’s very likely that when you’re tested, some of the issues would always pop up – whether it’s high blood pressure, sugar levels, cholesterols, uric acid, thyroid disorders, or any other issue.
So, why not switch our focus this year from a more typical cliched new year’s resolution to something new, to something more different?
This new year, let’s resolve to get all our blood and urine markers within the normal range
This includes things like normal blood pressure, resting heart rate, sugar, thyroid, uric acid levels, and other standard health markers.
So how do we get all our vitals under the normal range?
Assess your current health status, get checked, set a benchmark, achieve your health goals!
Assessing your present health status is one great approach to getting your blood and urine markers into a healthy range. And once the benchmark is set, decide where you want to be in three, six, or even nine months.
Say, suppose you’ve resolved to lower your thyroid levels this new year. Therefore, a good strategy to reach your goal is by first getting checked. Next, set a three, six, or nine-month target with the help of your doctor to accomplish your desired goal, whether by dietary, lifestyle or through medications.
The same goes for any other health conditions that you may have.
To assess your current health status, you can look for a health package that covers all aspects of your health, like a Full Body Check.
A full body health check includes 55+ lab tests consisting of lipid profile test, liver function test, kidney function test, thyroid profile, urine analysis, diabetes profile, iron test, and CBC to help assess your health risk and prevent health complications in the future.
We provide at-home sample collection and free consultations with doctors online after you receive your report, which you usually get within 48 hours.
Conclusion
New year’s resolutions can be a good start to establishing good habits, be it exercising regularly, eating right, taking up a new hobby, etc. But every year, we make the same resolutions, which are always cliche and rather more tedious, so why not mix it up a bit and try something new? So if you still need to make a resolution, here’s what you can do: make a resolution to work on your overall health so as to bring all health parameters within healthy ranges. Happy New year!
