DOCTORS have encouraged people to think about how they can commit to improving their health this January.
New Year resolutions that support a healthier lifestyle can go a long way to improving your personal health.
This could be quitting smoking, reducing your level of alcohol intake, changing your diet, or doing more exercise.
Dr Phil Huxley, a lead GP within Pennine Lancashire, said:“The health benefits of regular exercise are well documented and it also improves your wellbeing by increasing self-esteem and confidence.
“Regular exercise doesn’t have to mean joining a gym, there are plenty of free ways to exercise, such as going for a brisk walk or jog. If you combine regular exercise with a healthy balanced diet you could dramatically improve your health."
