5 Achievable New Year’s Resolutions this 2019

Another year has come and passed but there is one thing that remains constant to most of us – our New Year’s Resolution. Every year, we think of this list with the aim of changing our bad habits and making ourselves better. Some are achievable, but there are also some that are not.

As the “Year of the Earth Pig” enters this 2019, it is but fitting to start the year right by prioritizing health in your New Year’s Resolution list.

To give you ideas on what to include in #HealthGoals this year, here are 5 health goals that you can surely achieve:

  1. Lose weight

This is the ultimate goal of the many especially after the holiday season when parties are being held left and right and food and drinks are overflowing. Losing weight will never be hard if you will be disciplined and determined enough to do it. It is just a matter of resisting gastronomic temptations, eating the right amount and kind of food, having regular exercise, and ofcourse following the advices of health experts.

  1. Be careful with your heart

Our heart is very vulnerable. We are prone to heartbreaks, heart aches and most of all, to heart illnesses. This year, make heart check a habit. You’ll never know how prone you are to cardiovascular diseases unless you consult a heart expert.

  1. Think about your brain

They say that heart and brain should always complement each other. Just like heart, the nervous system, especially the brain plays a vital role in the body and also deserves a regular check. Neurological diseases are increasing nowadays such as aneurysm, epilepsy and stroke which also affects other parts of the body. These are commonly caused by one’s lifestyle, therefore it really pays to visit your doctor regularly.

  1. Try not to be too sweet

Being too sweet is not also good, especially when we’re talking about health. Diabetes is now becoming one of the leading chronic diseases, not only in the Philippines, but also worldwide. This 2019, avoid sweet temptations, always check your blood sugar level and pay your doctor a visit for sound advices.

  1. Always guard your health

Health is wealth. It may sound cliché but this has been proven true. We cannot do the things that we ought to do if we ain’t in good health. With this, it is best to have your regular checkup to guard your health. Don’t wait for illness to strike you. Make the first move before it’s too late. Remember another cliché – “Prevention is better than cure.”

The Medical City Iloilo is a home of pioneering medical services and health experts who live by the “Patient Partnership” service philosophy. TMC Iloilo’s flagship programs also help achieve these health goals this year. The hospital’s Wellness Clinic caters to your over-all health, while our Cardiovascular Program takes care different matters of the heart.

Moreover, TMC Iloilo also has neurological services being highlighted by our well-trained Brain Attack Team and Acute Stroke Unit personnel. The hospital’s Diabetes and Metabolism Clinic, on the other hand, offers a multi-disciplinary approach to address the possible complications of the said disease.
