What are your health goals for 2025?
2025 is here and so are we. Many goals have been set but how many of those goals are health related?
Not that many right?
You are not alone. Many people forget that health is the foundation of everything else. You have one body and that body is meant to last you a lifetime. How can that be when we keep ignoring it and hoping for the best outcome? Your health is your most important asset; protect it with your life!
Let’s make a difference in 2025.
Here are five health goals for 2025 that you should consider:
1. Adopt a healthier diet
Focus on incorporating more whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your meals while reducing processed foods and added sugars.
Just as nations are moving towards cleaner energy for industries and vehicles, it is important that we move our bodies also onto cleaner energy sources.
2. Exercise Regularly
Commit to at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, including both cardio and strength training. The caution here is that exercise is intentional physical activity unrelated to your everyday work or career, however, physical activity can be incorporated into your daily work as well.
This means that the fact that your work requires physical activity it doesn’t have the same benefit to your health as exercising, but it is better than being sedentary.
3. Enhance Mental Well-being
Practice mindfulness, meditation, or other stress-reduction techniques. Aim for work-life balance and prioritize activities that bring joy and relaxation.
4. Preventive Health Check-ups
Schedule regular health screenings and immunizations to detect and prevent potential health issues early.
We are kinda to our machines than we are to ourselves. We have routine maintenance for our cars, air-conditioning, etc, but when it comes.to our health, we wait until there is a breakdown. No, in 2025, let’s get ahead of the curve and be preventive minded.
A basic check up should include a blood pressure and blood sugar check, a kidney function, liver function assessment, urine exam and a complete or full blood count.
5. Improve Sleep Quality
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night by maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and minimizing screen time before bed.
These 5 goals are not exhaustive, but they are a good start point. If you can incorporate these into your new year goals, it will make a huge difference in your output for the years to come
