As we look toward a new year, many of us default to the standard resolutions of calorie counting or gym marathons. While healthy eating and regular exercise are important, there are other small measures that can have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing. This year, we encourage you to also consider other meaningful resolutions that improve health and may protect your future self.
For instance, focus on sleep hygiene. Committing to a consistent seven-to-nine-hour window of restorative sleep regulates and boosts cognitive function and strengthens the immune system.
Similarly, commit to scheduling your annual physical and prioritizing proactive health screenings. When we focus on disease prevention, screening, and early treatment, we can catch micro-trends in your health before they become macro-problems.
Life often moves at a relentless pace, making stress resilience a vital health goal for 2026. Instead of focusing on what to subtract from your plate, try adding a daily practice of "digital disconnection" or a focused breathwork routine or meditation.
Social connection is another powerful, often overlooked, pillar of health. Resolving to engage in more face-to-face community interactions can lower inflammation and improve mental well-being.
